I don't get it


so the 'trustworthy news / information sources' you can believe about half

and the 'sources that fall short' you can believe about a quarter?

Thank you for your completely unbiased and objective counseling.

Clearly, the people here need your guidance.

Perhaps you could ask PA if you could become the Official Pace Advantage Fact Checker.

As far as fact checkers go, I'd say you're just about perfect.

I don't doubt it's depressing. The truth often is.

I'll keep handy a copy of the guide you provided for any future news stories I read.

Not really interested in your A to Z Gide to propaganda. But you are completely correct about this place being depressing. I wonder why. About 90 percent of the posts are about democrats and/or their policies destroying this country. The fact that there is so much content week after week is absolutely depressing.

I hear Zoloft works pretty good.

[proximity]

on an admittedly short list of places more depressing than this, the shippensburg sociology department would have to rank right near the top.

This is, in part, exactly what the OP was talking about

I have said it before and I will say it again. These elitist are out for our country and the world. They don't care about you, me or the op or the masses period. They care about power and agenda. Just about everything they have done for close to 3 years has illustrated this. As long as fools buy the phony narratives that the MSM sells them we are all in grave danger. If you folks think we are wrong there is thread after thread where you can argue your points. We can all pretend that the Government and MSM and social media sites have our back, but they don't. When they start coming for your freedoms and the op's freedoms, don't say you were not warned. They are playing for keeps. I an not going to replay the last 3 years for you. But they are coming after our power whether you want them to or not All the little shit they pretend to do is just theater. They pretend they are doing things for the people, but they don't care about people. Not saying Republicans are angels, but everything the democrats do is a big dog and pony show designed to enrich their donors and keep themselves in power.

Call me cynical, call me what you want, but there is no doubt in my mind that this is the democratic party in a nutshell. Whether they are winning elections due to rigged elections or due to a brainwashed society, it all spells bad news for all of us. Apparently too many just don't realize what danger they are in. I guarantee that one these folks get the power they seek, they are not giving it back.

Do I wallow in depression every day because that is how I see the world, currentlY? No. I take every day one day at a time. I just learned a lot over the last 3 years and realized that this is a big, bad ugly world. I don't believe it was always that way at least in some countries, but it sure seems that way now. No reason for me to be depressed (for the young people in this country I am very sad, because they do not have a clue how bad their future may become) but I also do not see the point in burying my head in the sand. Some folks have to as an act of self preservation and I get that. To those folks they should probably stay away from this forum. I think our best bet to fight the power grab is for society to realize the problem and work together to hold the Politicians and MSM...accountable. Pretending the msm is telling us the truth, when they aren't only worsens the problem.

Again, the bolded portions above are pretty much what the OP was talking about.
If you believe this started in just the last 3yrs, and that only Dems serve themselves with their political power, and that the elections were rigged (only by Dems but never by the Repubs) you are the one who is brainwashed.

Government corruption is not only on the Left side of the aisle, nor is it 90% on the Left side of the aisle.
To think otherwise is to be a marching pawn for those who want you to be.

I'm going to take small exception to this.

I think both parties are equally corrupt at taking campaign contributions and then passing laws that favor those contributors and the expense of others.

I think both parties have potentially unholy relationships with foreign countries (Saudi Arabia, China, Ukraine, etc..) and sometimes engage in policies that favor those nations at the expense of others and perhaps even at the expense of the US in return for contributions, business deals, favors etc..

However, I think something changed when Trump entered the picture.

Trump threatened to expose some of the corruption. He threatened the IC's obsession with Russia, NATO, etc... He started changing the political balance by attracting blue collar and other workers that lost their jobs away from the democrats. He threatened the globalist agenda with a more US first agenda on trade and immigration.

He threatened the status quo and spread to other areas of the world.

Now there's an unholy cabal between the IC, media, tech companies, globalists, democrats, rhinos etc.. to destroy Trump and his significant supporters by controlling the narrative, rigging elections the best they can by controlling information and election rules, physically attacking his supporters, jailing innocent protestors etc..

What's going on right now is very corrupt and anti American. IMO it borders on evil but many people can't see it because they hate Trump.

And I want to be clear, I don't like Trump. I agree with him on some issues, but I think he's got too much baggage and too many personality disorders to be the leader of the republican party or to drain the swamp. In fact, I don't think anyone can drain the swamp. That would take a revolution that made Jan 6th look like recess at an all girls Catholic grade school.

But I do think the problems are WAY more concentrated on the left now.

I have said many i times believe most politicians are corrupt. I just do not currently see the danger from the right as I do from the left. All the craziness from the left would not be happening if republicans were in power. You can argue that other issues may come into play if they were in power, but I don’t believe that this breakdown of society would be nearly as significant if not for democrats. This reach for power that I see from democrats is unparalleled in this country, imo at least in my lifetime. Unfortunately technology has given them a lot of tools. Everything they do from my perspective is bad for the people of this country whether the people know it or not. They do not care about people they care about power at any cost. That is very dangerous and whether you agree or not, that is what I see.
