The underlying reason fake news is so popular with the left, is connected to the feminization of the left.

One analogy for the feminized left, is the insecure wife asking her husband, if she looks fat in her new dress. She is not interested in a factual analysis of her weight gain. Nor, is she interested in her husband giving advice to solve her problem. She would get very upset if he said, well you did put on 25 pounds and could use exercise and diet.

Instead, she wants him to say something that makes her feel good, even if he has to use white lies. She would much prefer he said, Dear, you look wonderful in that dress, even more sexy than the day I met you. Or, I thought you lost weight, because of that new dress! Men often lie to women to make them feel good, since cold hard facts are not always warm and fuzzy. Charm is about making someone feel good.

The Democrat party has made their base very insecure about Trump. College age adults need safe spaces to deal with the induced insecurities. Others are very aggressive due to a defensive posture to appease the fear. To them, Trump was going to blow up the world with nukes, make old lades starve, cause the earth to fry and die, etc. This all creates anxiety. Therefore, to appease these anxieties; Do I look fat in this dress, left wing leadership and their allies in the news are expected to tel them things that make feel better. There is nothing to fear, if Trump is gone.

Anything that appears to suggest that Trump is about to go away, will be accepted, since it feels good and appeases the insecurity. Each new scandal is about the fall of Trump, and making the base feel sexy, in their new dress. If the facts reinforce their fear, such as a good economy may result in Trump being reelected, it will be met with suspicion. This is the husband saying, you need to get more exercise. It is better to say, the growing economy is a bubble. that will burst and we will all be safe again.

The question is how do you reach the insecure left, without lying to it? Lying is only a short term solution, and the same anxiety and question will come back, again and again. How do you break the cycle, without lying? Lying will create a loop.

The first step is to make everyone understand the nature of emotional thinking. It has strengths and weaknesses. Emotional thinking stems from maternal instinct and is a way for women to effectively deal with the irrational side of human nature, such as with babies and children. A mother can listen to her child cry, and based on how her child's cry makes her feel, determine the nature of that cry. Babies cry due to distress, frustration, pain, needing diaper change, being tired, being hungry, and just trying to get mom's attention. The mother uses her natural emotional intelligence, to translate subtle variations in cry sound, into feelings, and from these feelings, she knows how to react.

The new mom is just learning and may be overwhelmed by any form of crying. She may need to call her mom, who has developed the emotional skills needed to differentiate the various cries. She teaches her daughter, that not every cry is an emergency. The differences in sound is very subtle, but her brain will learn this emotional language, with time.

From this, I inferred that emotional thinking is optimized in intimate relationships, where subtle differences have time to differentiate. Emotional thinking does not extrapolate well, as we move away from longer term intimate human relationships. Even the new mom has to build up that intimacy with her baby ,before she can translate, anything. As we go toward the general and impersonal, emotional thinking lacks data for the proper differentiation of the seasoned grandma.

The left; male leaders, have tried to extrapolate emotional intelligence, to areas it does not work properly. They are men and what do they know of maternal instincts. This creates anxiety, like with the new mom who can;t tell one cry from the next. She can't depend on herself just yet, but needs someone to make her feel the proper feelings. However, grandmother is not the wise elder matriarch, but the leftist media men; husband. This perpetuate a loop of lies, and short term appeasement, but no real self reliant solution leading to the seasoned mom. Only the seasoned mom knows not all cries are created equal; emotional reasoning begins.

The right came out and voted in higher numbers in the Republican primary than ever before for Trump, a pathological liar, and the most dishonest president in American history, yet it's the "left" that likes to be lied to?

By the way, your post has risen to whole new levels of sexism.
 
The left doesn't support Trump, so it appears that your entire premise is wrong. If they liked being lied to, they would be Trump supporters.

The rest of your post screams "I am a misogynist!"

What an embarrassing thread fail for you, OP.
 
"The left is like fat chicks, they wanna be lied to".

I didn't bother reading past the first sentence.

Pontification minus knowing what the hell you are talking about.
 
While I applaud the OP effort the failure of the left is much better explained by the failure of Victim Culture than it is by feminization, though it is true that the feminists have been the prime drivers of Victim Culture.
 
For the same reason the right likes to be lied to.

Neurochemical rewards for following.

Most of us are genetically followers. It can't be any other way in a social species.

And all pro survival behaviors are neurochemically rewarded.

And these chemicals are addictive. Its how it works.
 
I didn't bother reading past the first sentence.
First line was indeed a killer, but the remainder is at least entertaining. To the OP: I applaud your ability to make flagrant delusion, sexism, and internet trolling sound almost philosophical.

For conservatives to trumpet "the failure of the Left" after the Right has succumbed to the crudity of Trumpism is failing to face up to your own self made disaster.
 
To all my lefty buddies out there:

 
Wow, talk about projection. The right voted for Trump. THe right watches Fox news and reads Brietbart. The right believes tax cuts to the rich create jobs. The right believed Iraq had WMDs. Yeah, liberals like to be lied too. What a joke you people are

T.

While I agree that the Left seems to prefer fake news to factual news, the above example is off-the-charts wrong. So wrong!

All women like to be complimented about their looks, especially conservative women who tend to be more attractive over all than liberal women, although there are certainly exceptions on both sides.

In addition, no one appreciates lies more than men -- "Oh honey, you're sooooo big," and "Of course I came." And, that's both liberal and conservative men.

:roll:
 
Trump is really good @ lying & convincing others he isn't lying; I suppose the right loves that?

Trump is actually the best liar in politics; prolly why he was elected 'cause Americans love a good liar

Are you still upset that women are standing up to sexual assault??

They also came out and voted in the highest numbers ever against a candidate, Trump, the votes against him outnumbering the votes for him by 3 million.

HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black. Good lord the delusion of you guys sometimes is just astounding.

Why exactly do you think conservatives are always bitching about Elitism from the left and the condescension of the left? Because you don't like it when we treat you like stupid racist hicks. You want to believe you're super smart even though there isn't a shred of evidence to conclude that you are. That's why you elected a compulsive liar and the worlds most obvious used car salesmen into the white house. He makes you feel smart by telling you exactly what you want to hear no matter how ****ing delusional and objectively false it is.

I'm sorry, but this OP has got to be the single most delusional and ironic thread I've ever seen on here. If you believe any of this nonsense I honestly feel kind of bad for you.

The right came out and voted in higher numbers for Trump during the Republican Primaries than any other Republican candidate in history and that is despite there being a very crowded field.

Moreover, as president, they only support he has enjoyed is on the right. His numbers have been abysmal among moderates and liberals since he took office.

Seeing as you repeated yourself for unknown reasons, I'll repeat myself:

Do you understand what that means? Three million more Republican voters wanted someone other than Trump to be the nominee than wanted him to be the nominee. To say that he got a record number of Republican votes during the primary without noting that is simply dishonest, as it leaves out crucial context. Is that your intent? You doubled down it, so it seems like it might be.

This from the conservatives who watch Fox News and listen to Limbaugh on the radio. We call those the homes of fake news. And in the end you voted for the president who lies more than any other politico ever has. Yeah, liberals are the ones who follow fake news, NOT>

There were 15 candidates. Show me a primary where you got more than a dozen candidates where any candidate wins my more than a plurality.

The Republican Party owns Trump. I am certain ya'll will try to disown him once he is out of office, but y'all own him. You had a big field of candidates and he got more primary votes than any of the others and more primary votes than any other Republican candidate in history. Ya'll own him. Moreover, ya'll are the only ones in the country that support him today. He is your guy. He is Mr. Republican, and that is how every history book will record it.

It is your opinion that Trump is a pathological liar. How about trying this on for size:

They are politicians, the like power, we all are being lied to. The only candidate who comes near the truth is old man Sanders. Like him or not, he does convey a sense of integrity and genuine empathy.
The rest, no difference between left or right, this or that candidate, this or that party. Lets not kid ourselves.
