So do all of you, all of the time. So do I. Not in a direct way though; we're inundated with untruths from every direction and even if we're not directly interacting with that information - it gets embedded in our subconscious. That's why ads are so fucking terrible, because you're basically being mind-raped by them everywhere you go...and for some reason, society accepts it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I desperately want to know which of my opinions are outright wrong. Not just lacking nuance, but wrong
I fucking despise ads, I really don't know how things like billboards are legal
We are just really doing a fantastic job at being a respectable, reasonable western democracy these days aren’t we?
"democracy"
Lulz
A Princeton-Cambridge study agrees with you on that.
This guy looks like a gas station hotdog that’s been on the rollers under a heat lamp for far too many hours. He exhibits the behavior I’d expect from that hotdog, as well.
A lot of heroin followed by brain worms will do that to you.
Rancid bear meat and falconry out in the sun probably doesn’t help either.
But it’s probably all the testosterone supplements. Same as Rogan, Alex Jones and the rest of the polish sausage looking mfers. No offense to Poland intended.
Yeah that explains his views on vaccines alright
Guy’s a fucking dumbass. No surprises here.
File this under "least surprising revelations of all time."
I think he's trying to be an effective brain worm ambassador, but doesn't realize that the dead brain worm isn't actually in control anymore.
Latest theory: he is intentionally trying to lose, so his voters to back to voting for Trump
He could just withdraw from the race and endorsed Trump if he wanted that
