Liberals know zip about the economy, nothing but morons.
Dummy.
I encourage our readers to contemplate the mentality it takes to go to the trouble of posting the above comment by “bloe me.”
How empty does someone’s life have to be for it to descend to this level? There is no thought involved, but this person must have the motivation to check in, day after day, at a web site that discusses things far beyond his capacity for understanding.
No alternative set of facts is presented. No sign of comprehension of the subject is offered. The only content that can be discerned is contempt — the contempt an inferior feels for those who make him aware of his inferiority.
Consider how you (I presume you to be a reader of average or above intelligence) would feel in a gathering of, say, professors of quantum mechanics discussing their field. You might dimly follow the conversation, but you could add nothing of consequence.
Of course, being liberal, you might ask questions in an attempt to grasp the subject, and they might try to translate it into layman’s terms for you if you were sincerely interested. But if you were conservative, you would mock them for it — not because they are inferior, but because you are.
This is, ultimately, what makes these people fascists. Confronted with subjects they grasp only feebly, they don’t seek to understand, they seek to smash — to reduce their superiors to their level. This is why they carry guns — violence is implicit because destruction is the only response they can muster in the face of things that, in their failure to comprehend, existentially frighten them.
Whether to be liberal — to seek learning and understanding — or to be conservative — to seek to destroy — is a choice. Scientific evidence exists indicating that the brain of a conservative has a relatively larger and more active right amygdala, an area of the brain associated with expressing and processing fear, but nobody has ascertained whether this is a cause or a result of the rigidly ordered thinking of the conservative mind (another difference determined by research). But even if conservatism is a product of brain anatomy, many who suffer from it have chosen to grapple with it and overcome it. Sadly, this is a relatively rare choice.
Under normal circumstances, one might feel pity or compassion for the sufferer of conservatism, for an inability to adapt to change in an ever-more-rapidly changing world is in a sense a handicap, and humanists, at least, are typically moved to pity for the disabled.
But we do not live in normal circumstances. We live in a time in which conservatives have become so afraid that they see no other option but to destroy that which they perceive as an existential threat, and their project is well underway.
Liberals tend to seek understanding rather than conflict, but the times do not allow for it. The Democratic Party (not liberal itself but the necessary home of what liberals there are) has chosen consistently to avoid this conflict. The time is rapidly approaching — indeed, it is here — when that can no longer be considered a viable option.
Well put. I’ve been much more vocal in my day to day life and on other social media.
Thinking that we had processes and institutions in place to restrain the stupidity, we’ve allowed conservatives far too much leeway. Continuing to think that “the truth will out” stopped being a a viable option a long time ago.
The rude pundit is on this as well:

That’s just lashing out, not seeking understanding.
These are damaged, brutalized people who, like dumb beasts, attack what they can’t comprehend.
They are the tools of a brutalizing, capitalistic society that views them as nothing more than consumption units. They are the products, not the producers.
It is the producers of that society, in large part the media that plays a crucial role in creating and promulgating it, that should be held accountable. And I don’t just mean the conservative media. Almost all media works under a business model that exists on revenue generated through advertising of consumer goods.
On a lighter, and less verbose, point of view Brother can you spare a dime? Failing that howza’bout a bit coin or two?
