    I argued with a leftist recently who thought it made perfect sense for the Biden administration to cut all contact with the Putin administration.

    The left seems to view information and points of view as a sort of fluid that simply mixes in a person’s head.

    They don’t believe in their own ability to consider an alternate point of view without adopting it, nor to speak with someone they disagree with, without becoming brainwashed by that person.

    Like not wanting your blue water to come into contact with any red water because then your blue will get more red.

      The left seems to be united, but that is only because they have one common enemy. Some really think he is the new Hitler and then there is no room for any nuance.
      I don’t believe anyone on the left supports wasting money on ridiculous projects though. Also the woke agenda is not supported by everyone. Hopefully once the dust has settled from the Trump administration, the left will take a good look at themselves and start to acknowledge some of their biggest mistakes.

      As a European I am glad Trump is shaking things up. Europe is turning into Latin America - overregulated and overtaxed with a lot of network corruption.

        Yep, many on Lemmy believe that if you don’t hate Trump, then you are a nazi. I know, because many accuse me of that very thing! lol

        I didn’t vote for him, but I love that he is shaking things up. Getting things done and shaking up the status quo.
