What Underlies the G.O.P. Commitment to Ignorance?

Look at the responses. One person kept posting pictures then declared he won the debate.

you can't demonstrate there is a commitment to ignorance.

you are actually the censors who destroy debates. if you can't censor your opponent, you invent a fake reason to run away like a bitch.

suck it.
 
as long as they are not blatantly unlawful, yes they will.

Then we agree on something.

So... the claim is that #TRE45ON allegedly wanted to send in the U.S. military to areas with violent protests following Floyd's murder, and wanted them to crack heads and shoot protesters, but was talked out of it. Do you support that use of the military, even though it's patently illegal?

I mostly agree with this, and 100% agree with the spirit. But these people actually have ideas in their heads. Most of them are planted, because coming up with them through critical thinking is beyond them. The few ideas they DO have on their own are akin to the clicks and grunts of cromagnon man. 'Biden bad'. 'BLM riot'. They take those 'ideas' and look for ANYTHING that will reinforce them. The right wing propaganda machine knows this, and spoon feeds them moronic conspiracy theories and half truths to support their guttural belief system. Every single thread started by one of these idiots has its genesis in right wing media or Russian disinformation. 100%. Not one of them has ever come up with an original thread idea that wasn't a trolling exercise. It is what it is.

no, I did not support it and would never support it. The military is for military. It's why the Posse Comitatus act was created. I do find it interesting that there were a couple of incidents during the Obama period where lefties wanted the military to come in against righties.....remember those?

No, I don't. Examples?
 
clive bundy ranch and the oregon bird sanctuary

Okay, got it. Here we had some tards who invaded a federally-owned property and held it hostage, while causing a lot of damage to the wildlife preserve. It would have been inappropriate to send in civil law enforcement -- like who? -- to remove the criminals from a federal facility that was not located in a town or city.

inappropriate for civil law enforcement? so you'd want the military to come in and remove them?

No one wanted the military involved in that. He's lying again. Military cannot be used as domestic law enforcement. EVER. Period, end of story. Anyone who suggested that active military be used against any US Citizen on US soil doesn't understand the law.

EDIT: There is only on POTUS who wanted to use US troops against American citizens. Enough said.

I always felt there was a certain amount of self-loathing wound up with the resentment of higher education.

It is certainly possible to be well read, dignified, and intelligent with just a high school background.

But on the flipside, there are a lot of beady-eyed Deplorables who struggled to barely make it through high school, and then spent the next fourty years guzzling beer and numbing their brain cells and cognitive capacity with a mediocre life dedicated to insignificant and inconsequential pursuits.

I believe this can lead a beady-eyed Deplorable to harbor a grudging resentment of the well educated, the well read, the intelligent person who leads an above-average life.

it also sounds like you're describing most younger liberals...........of course you'd need to include the ranting about a living wage to cover the beer guzzling and struggling

axiomatic. That type of class resentment is a common thread in Repuke dna since the ascendancy of the baggerville hound Palin. Hence the corresponding
tropes about hard work, common sense, to countervail against achievement, science etc. If that doesn't work? Blame Mexicans and black Americans.
They've gone from deplorable societal burdens to full traitor. Never go full traitor.
