Many people close to the trump campaign met with the Russians behind close doors then tried to keep these meetings secret. Because they met means there is a connection but what that connection is about is not clear. At this point only the FBI might have answers and any article that you read that says they know is bogus. Maybe they were talking about Hockey or Vodka or maybe they were talking about a tit for tat. The only reason someone would still care whether Obamas bc is fake is because they are still looking for reasons to hate him and discredit him.
very well said. However I am not convinced this has much to do with right-leaning politics. It seems, in my experience, it is a human trait we are dealing with, and it is independent of politics. If, when you have time, you think about what you have so competently written, I will guess you will realize that there is no fundamental reason, not one we can think of anyway, why this innate proclivity of ours should depend on our politics. If it does, then we ought to examine why. My best guess is that regardless of our politics we will react similarly. We should be equally receptive to hijacking of our 'outer rational cortex', independent of whether our 'belief' system is ingrained as right or left. If I am not correct here, then we have stumbled upon something quite profound. A most interesting thing to me is the observation that some individuals are able to quite easily transcend their natural proclivities, where others can only do so with great difficulty. I have thought that education, not job training but education, buttresses our ability to do that. But I don't know if I am correct.
You realize of course that Sheriff Arpiao is not the only one who says so! That surely gives his statement great weight, don't you think?
Yes its extremism with regard to any belief, not just politics. It could be a hatred of Homosexuals or Blacks. There are people on the left who are fanatical. Its about protecting our ego and trying to feel good, about having a purpose or reason. Whether you become a terrorist or a gang member in LA, its about belonging and feeling good. We need to feel good about ourselves and sometimes hating another person does the trick. Education helps but its not the answer. University Professors, Doctors are not immune to this. Its a human trait related to addiction.
I couldn't tell if your post was serious, satirical or an attempt at comedy. If it was the later, it failed and I was just trying to help. Btw, in your context, tat must contain some type of monetary or bargaining power. When exchanging tit for tat, I'd expect twat in reciving tit, well maybe, for a little more tat.
