Yes let’s stop believing all the countless press institutions that have stood for generations on the principle of objective reporting and start listening to random YouTube guys instead! They’re the ones who really know what’s up.

The person whose video it was was not the point of the post. But of course, deflect if you must, the fact is these press institutions you revere bow to dollar bills. You and I do not factor in to that unless we’re watching and believing.

Why is it so difficult for some of you to use your own brains instead of letting all these news outlets feed you what you believe to be the god’s honest truth just because it caters to your emotional opinion?

Maybe frievous is right, maybe this country is going to hell in a handbasket, I’m glad I don’t count on that ride to be happy.

You should really listen to your own advice.

What matters is simply the facts. I’m sorry your side has tricked you into believing otherwise.

There is no side, we are Americans. Where did you even learn that?

Yes, we are. But your side feels the need to keep making it about “sides” even when things like decent American principles are at stake.

It is not about sides and I wish you’d stop saying “my side”.

It absolutely shouldn’t be about sides but unfortunately that’s what’s being pushed from the right.

This would indicate that the “left” is pushing it as well, correct?

It’s no secret that the country is becoming more polarized. But my point was that the right is choosing to make bipartisan issues partisan. When things like basic American principles are at stake, sides shouldn’t factor into it, and yet that’s exactly what’s happening on the right.

It is also happening on the left. If it was not, you would not have said “my side” when referring to me and what I said. The point is, both political parties are just as divided as America has become recently. I hold no loyalty to either party and maybe that is why I don’t particularly jive with most in this thread. Now, I do post opposite sides of stuff that gets posted, but it’s more due to the point that there is always 2 versions of the same story. I prefer to try and find a middle ground but it is far more difficult than holding to the “your side, my side” thought process.
