I am familiar with Nate Silver. Same guy who predicted that Dowdy the Clown would win in 2016 - 98% certain, if memory serves. The more you learn about statistics the more you realize that they are easily manipulated and can say pretty much whatever you want them to say. It's a tired gambit.
Trump has decades of history that can be used to come to the easy conclusion that he is a bigot.Mjl wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 11:29 pm There's a reason so many on both sides have taken issues with Trump's dog-whistles - they cause this stuff. I don't think Trump is a bigot, but I do think he likes that they support him and he feeds that. The side effects of those dog whistles coming from the leader of our country are the problem.
That's an entertaining read; I certainly tip my hat to the mental gymnastics. None of it is reality but it got a chuckle out of me nonetheless. Well played. If you could have been a little more subtle instead of blatantly overdramatizing the points then it would have been even more clever. It's too easy to sniff out sarcasm when you drown it in that much dramatic excess. But I know taking things to 150% is how it's done these days so it is what it is.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:09 pmIf, by "chunk", you're referring to the people who are desperately clinging to the fantasy that President Trump only won because of "Russian collusion," and that the "majority" of the country desperately hates him and is longing for a strong, feminist/socialist candidate to take the reins and save us from ourselves, then, yes, there is a small, but vocal gullible chunk of the population who will believe anything.twocoach wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 7:54 pmAll your doing is affirming how gullible and ready to believe anything a chunk of our country is.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 3:38 pm
Exactly. What better patsy to choose than an angry, disaffected guy who has a history of drug abuse, misuses steroids, and is not shy about making threats on Twitter. Ready-made Plan B.
And, by "anything," I mean that Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist who is unfit to serve on the Supreme Court and that the President's rhetorical rantings are a "dog whistle" meant to call a group of dimwitted, racist outcasts to arms. The events of the past month are a shocking portrait of the desperation behind the scenes of those who are terrified of a populist movement in our governmental system.
Let's see now if I can list everything Trump is responsible for; mass shootings, hurricanes, immigrant caravans, Dems head explosions,oh almost forgot, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/wash ... se-keeping, did I say Dems heads exploding?
No hyperbole intended. That's honestly how your side comes off to me; a look in the mirror for the Left, if you will.twocoach wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 9:43 amThat's an entertaining read; I certainly tip my hat to the mental gymnastics.
