As the tittle suggest, I don’t understand certain types of political people. Can you provide me with an explanation of their rationale?

1. People that insert politics in news stories. Crime up? It’s because of president blank. School shootings? Why has president blank allowed this?

2. People that believe in politicians. Has there ever been any president that has done everything they said they’d do? Tru,p where’s the wall? Biden why do we still have student loans?

3. Education to political confidence. Look we all went to school and we know that some people were stupid right. Now they’ve grown up but have such strong opinions. If you fail your high school government class why would you still feel like you know about government?

4. Hidden political stuff. Let’s go Biden, that okay sign, etc. Why not just say **** Biden, Trump, etc? Why the coded messages?

5. Not so political but why do certain people believe the government wants to take their guns? I have one, I’m in California and I don’t think it was that difficult to get one. I mean it’s hard if your a crazy person but do we want crazy people with guns?

6. Last what’s with the political gangs? Why do people support one side over the other and treat the other like they need to be sterilized? I like some Republican ideas and some Democrat ideas. Wouldn’t most dynamic people be the same? Are there really so many one dimensional people?

I really look forward to your responses thanks!

I too have often wondered why people believe what they believe. It's called faith. They believe it because they believe it's true. They may be uneducated about other "faiths". They may just not want to learn about other "faiths". They may not read. They may only read what confirms what they already believe is true and disregard anything to the contrary. It may be the way they were brought up. Peer pressure has a lot of influence on some folks. It may be that they were "lost", and found direction in believing what ever they believe.

In short; some folks believe all kinds of crazy chit, tis the way of the world.

That's a big part of it. I have my faith but try not to be narrow minded for no reason. Now once I have learned truth then I try to stick to that straight and narrow, and believe me the reality of right and wrong, sin and Godly, is just that way. But I don't use blinders except on carriage and draft horses, literally lol

I agree with the above and would try to help here;
For years I had all but ignored politics, then last year on here I couldn't help but notice a large amount of verbal bullying of the pro Trump type.
I've always hated bullies so I jumped in and started posting educated, researched and factual posts for the other side (democrates).
As bully's sometimes do these people did the equivalent of a child covering their ears and talking over you, it was hopeless so I quit posting in this section.
Those that suffer these delusions are often fanatical so beware!

Politics.. The first is to know the fundamental principle of it an until you be in it you won't know, what exactly it is. Looking from outside stuffs, reading on news or picked from ears won't help. Know yourself an what's your potential to dp for the citizens of your locality. later will understand of own.:thumbsup:

Don't believe anything you hear or see of the bat. Don't comment on anything, either verbally or in written form before you do a facts check.
If statements are about foreign affairs use a translator to check what they say there.
It's so easy to paint one self in a corner with rhetoric that is very hard to admit was wrong from your part.
I have a friend who is very slow with his oral replies(doesn't work in politics) but what ever he said was true. He just gave everything a thorough thought before any statements.
If you didn't know him you would think he is dumb.

With the level of corruption and hypocrisy we are witnessing nowadays it is imperative that people voice their opinions . We see the inept policies being enforced that weaken our influence in the world and destroy a once great economy in just a short period of time, so yes I will voice my opinion. Don’t be fooled by what the media tells you they are corrupt as the positions. Take what you see as real not what you hear.

Intelligence pool? Wow, sounds like a place to get away from the democrats for a little R and R.

. From my studies, I’ve noticed that our politics has ALWAYS been corrupt. And the hypocrisy has been there since the start of our great nation. Part of what I was saying is some people have opinions on things they clearly don’t understand. I’m not an expert on many things so why would I open my mouth to throw out wild uneducated sentences?

I partially understand your comment. I was under the notion that faith will arise due to lack of concrete evidence. I can not prove that God exist but I have faith that he does. I can’t prove what happens after death but I have faith the Lord will come for me.

However when faith bridges the mind when their is evidence available that just seems like ignorance bordering on stupidity. Don’t believe when you can prove. Right?

Do you have personal experience in this? Growing up my parents instilled things in me but I did not hold on to everything be cause the world showed me something on he contrary. I think what you are saying is true but I have not had any real world examples of this… maybe because of my job.

I experienced the same thing! I was losing basic respect for people when they acted so childish. As an adult, everyone should be able to express their viewpoints respectfully and in an intellectual manner. I’m a middle school teacher so if you can’t do that then I instantly place you in the same intellectual category as a 7th grader.

As a teacher you should understand that what you say in class is important. In my country children are taught the "right" way. Many text books are camoflaged propaganda. I see the work as a teacher one of the hardest and most important jobs there is. Many teachers fail to deliver neutrality, but rather the regimes views. At the moment Trump and Russia is Swedens biggest enemimies but neither has done anything against Sweden. Just regimes agenda!

Political polarization, perception gaps, sensationalism has always existed, but media today has certainly created what we see today. People forget that media is business, they want to make money, and sensationalism sells. Tolerance for others’ opinion has morphed from disagreeing to entire political parties needing to be stopped. Our democracy is built on a system intended to work no matter what party holds power. Wingers are but a small portion of Americans, yet media has some believing it’s all democrats, all republicans, which is ridiculous. Those people are, as you said, the one-dimensional, and you just have to chalk that up to, I wouldn’t say uneducated, but, unaware, with a profound inability to see reality.

A perfect example of why people are passionate about politics is going on now with the Supreme Court hearings to confirm judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. While the republicans are asking very important questions about the way she would judge while on the bench , they are very courteous and respectful in their questioning. Compare that to the way the democrats acted when confirming the last 3 justices. They were rude and ridiculous in their questioning of all 3. The hypocrisy that is blatantly displayed is one aspect of the the hightend interest in people expressing their frustration. If more people had a greater interest in the way our politicians were running things than maybe we could be more agreeable on who should be running this country. Now that the NYTimes( the liberals bible) has said the hunter laptop is real, I wonder how many democrats would have still voted for Joe. Probably a lot less than actually did vote for him.

Well, my hope for the thought process of voters in this country is you’re innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Criminal charges haven’t even been filed against Hunter Biden.

You don’t have to have charges against you to be guilty. We have seen and heard the tapes of hunter and his illegal acts connected to his dad. To level charges against him now would be ignored by this justice system. Wait till after the mid- terms and I promise those charges Will be leveled. Innocent until proven guilty is correct. I wish the dems would believe that. But they prove that they don’t believe in that over and over again.
