Why facts don’t matter to Trump’s supporters

Source: Washington Post

“arguing the facts doesn’t help — in fact, it makes the situation worse.” The reason is that people tend to accept arguments that confirm their views and discount facts that challenge what they believe.

This “confirmation bias”

You can't argue facts with a true believer. Sad isn't it. I saw his interview on CNN. Explains a lot of behavior we see. To hell with facts, I will believe what Fox News tells me is true!!!!

Being Bat Sh*t Crazy Is A New Religion (Conservatives) What Can We Do?

It is scary. So many Americans listen to hate radio, and listen to Fox News. They are so screwed in the head that their "views", regardless how idiotic they are, are like a religion to them. How horrible Obama is. Climate change is a hoax. Giving billionaires tax cuts helps the poor. Denying people medical care is good for America. The list of insane garbage they believe like there is no tomorrow is hard to stomach for those of us with working brains.

It is scary.

Today "conservatism" is like a religion.

Or worse......

What the hell can we do?

7 Years Of Sabotage - Now Elect Us Republicans

The Republicans spent the last 7 years trying to make Obama (us) fail. They even admit it. Now they want to say vote for them for a "new direction". Like they want to be rewarded for making sure PBO created as few jobs as possible.

Now where is the Democrat who will tell the truth about their sabotage?

I understand principled opposition. What we have here is actually economic sabotage. Now they want us to elect them because of lack of jobs. Really?

What bothers me the most is the fact that Democrats don't seem willing to use the word sabotage.

If that is the case, Democrats deserve to lose. Hate to say it. I am tired of the abuse, as you can tell. The Republicans only offer two things. Tax cuts for the wealthy, and de-regulation so the corporations they own can rob, poison, and basically kill our families for profit. Where is the Democrat that will say that too?

Sad.

Trump: Hillary Founding ISIS - Think Again Don The Con

Trump said at a campaign stop that Hillary should get an award for founding ISIS.

Really Donald?

How about the people that "took out Saddam" and put Iran in charge of Iraq? All sold to us with lies about WMD's. Pure lies.

Shock and Awe?

Hillary - Most Honest Politician - Whoda Thunkit - Rec

Mother Jones / Politifact : Hillary Clinton Is One of America's Most Honest Politicians

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/08/hillary-clinton-one-americas-most-honest-politicians

30 years of lies, slander, and attacks in the corporate owned media has taken a toll.

Too bad the truth can't get to the ears of "regular people"......

Hillary, keep telling the truth. The folks in the Fox News Bubble don't care about truth. Their minds are mush.

Please Rec, and make sure everyone you know hears this.

And It All Started With The Birther Crap - Way To Go GOP

Your party approved racist attacks on our president created the Trump monster. You could have shut it down, but heck any attack on PBO is fine right?

Now don't complain if the racist Trump finally reveals for all to see how sick and pathetic and corrupt "your party" truly is.

Haters gotta hate, and you got a lot of 'em. Millions, all fed non stop lies by Fox, and Hate Radio. Birthers too. Sickening.

Good riddance GOP.

The Monster Republicans Created Is Now Eating Them - And It's Not Trump

It is their "base" of angry disillusioned psychopaths. All spoon fed endless lies and distortions by Fox, and Rush until their brains turned to mush, and they simply began to repeat and believe everything they hear on Right Wing Hate Radio and Fox Lies. Even the crap that is obviously crap. All this for a few votes.

Good going Ailes, Murdock, and Rush.

You turned the Grand Old Party into a bunch of raving lunatics that deny reality at EVERY turn.

Encore.

Without "the base" Trump would not mean anything.

Take a bow.

Never was a more deserving pack of traitors in my opinion.

Donald Trump Can Save His Reputation 100% And Make His Brand What It Was - It Would Be Easy

All he has to do is say "I am a Democrat. I did this to show the world how stupid, and pathetic the blind followers of the 100% corrupt Republican Party were. I love President Obama, and look forward to helping him, and the next president fix our corrupt, pay to play government which is controlled by billionaires, and not the people". (Most Democrats understand this already)

Think about it Donald. You could redeem yourself in one tweet.

It may be your last chance......

Please Rec!

The "Republican Brand" Is Being Exposed For The Corporate Sellouts They Are - Thanks Donald Trump

We as a country owe Donald Trump for the service he has provided exposing these frauds. I am serious.

The Republican Party is a group of corporate/MIC owned "people" (sic) that would kill their own mothers if they thought they could benefit from it somehow. They would obviously kill their own children by taking away their Obamacare, and watching them die when they money to pay the doctors ran out.

Trump says he won't endorse corporate sellouts. Good for him. Neither would I......

Trump is still a piece of sh*t racist, but his new reality show "American Election" has become quite popular it appears.

Please Rec, and load up on popcorn. This is great! I just wish it was some other country being ripped apart. We have been watching the Republicans attack us/sanity/America for years with sadness. It is time they are called out on it by some "non-liberal" the minions will listen to.
