Or why I choose not to believe my lying eyes and ears . . .

Ed, how about a quick summary? Or at least the creator’s conclusion? TIA.

In a nutshell  
Gawd that was easy 😂

". . .  individuals subconsciously dismiss evidence that threatens their core group beliefs or identity. It is a form of motivated reasoning where people selectively credit information that aligns with their cultural or ideological group, even when faced with conflicting facts."

That can be said about Liberals too.  They believe or follow their elected leaders and Celebrities.

Have to re-watch it again

or projection. Meanwhile, a certain MAGA cultist brings up all his petty grievances and makes specious arguments that have long been litigated while he is in total denial of the devastation caused by the current regime.  

is full of lies and distortions.
He is a toxic partisan hack and total fool.

Explain which "Wrongs" the left doesn't believe in????   Or didn't push LIES.     Like Hegseths tattoo....when a Dem canidate actually has a NAZI tattoo and admitted to it.     He did apologize for having it.    But again..... false flags by the left all the time.

But you are too toxic and stupid to get it and I have no patience for explaining it all to you. It is impossible to communicate with someone as ignorant as you.
So, please, continue wallowing in your stupidity and partisan hackery.
Now cue up more predictable, repetitive  whining about lefties.

Which ones????   Again you can't refute them or refuse to.

to you." Did you not understand?
All of it, apparently.

They cant.  

And that makes you Co-SPOAT.
Dimwit.

the fact that 80 of their voters are NOT on the same page as the loudest 20%.  You would think that some of these idiots would pay more attention to the sum of ALL polls rather than just the single-issue polls where the results are often manipulated by the framing of the question.  For instance, if you ask, "Was Trump correct in going to war if it meant gas prices would double," you will get a much different result than if you ask, "Was Trump correct in going to war if it will guarantee that your family will never have to worry about a nuclear bomb being used for terrorism in the US?  It's the Democrat shell game with their low-information voters that skews polls to align with the Lib talking points.  

What are you talking about? We always suggest using polling averages, polling over time, and being aware of the margins of error. Pollsters are not asking leading questions like you have suggested so knock off that bullshit. I believe you will find more low-information voters in the MAGA cult than in the Democratic party so that's more of your bullshit. CDL = Can Do Lies.

There have been many exposés on Dems using wording in their polls with the intent to mislead the public in the results.  They do it all the time with congressional bills, too, and the idiot Dem voters buy it.  Did the Affordable Care Act make healthcare more affordable under Obama?  Did the Inflation Reduction Act reduce inflation under Biden?  You should get your head out of your ass and study up a little, so you don't embarrass yourself like this.

Under Obama, Trump 1 and Biden.  At its peak last year more than 24 million people chose ACA coverage, many of whom couldn't afford health insurance in the past. Sadly, because of the shitty Republican tax bill, several million people have lost coverage.
Please take your own advice above.

More people on the ACA does not equal healthcare is more affordable. Deductibles went up, premiums went up, plan coverages went down.

First of all, CDL is the one who introduced the ACA and equated it with healthcare in general. But if you get 24 million people to select a particular form of coverage, many of whom previously had no coverage at all, it's amazing when ChicKie runs that down. And not a peep about how Trump has basically thrown a few million off the ACA rolls.

More people on just means that the people who actually have to pay, pay more.  

And that you are an impotent liar and dimwit.

Spare me your righteous indignation you condescending prick. Both political parties attach names, sometimes stupid names, to bills that they have passed while in the majority. Do you really think that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was any more than permanent tax cuts for the rich and big corporations?  That was big and beautiful for 1% of Americans but's that's about it.

WRONG..... this shows you are trying to re-write history.

Actually CDL was talking about NAME OF BILLS and how they don't do what they say.

SO YOUR TAXES ARE NOT CHEAPER THAN THEY WERE pre 2017?     Almost all tax brackets were reduced by percentage points.  You only got screwed if you made $250K to $413K.   Then your tax bracket went up.  The average income in the USA for single person google says is $48K..... but the "real number" is $60-70K.... Look at the tax brackets.   If the BBB wasn't passed they would be paying 25% in federal tax..... with the BBB they are paying 22%.   So a 3% savings..... is that the evil "1%" the dems say only got the tax breaks????

Just got to keep insulting.    Keep up the stereotype.

You take it as an insult but it's the simple truth. I don't expect you to like it.
You are a stereotype. Of a Village Idiot.

The lion's share of the tax relief went to the wealthiest Americans. In addition to the reduction of the top marginal tax rate owners of pass-through entities continue to get a 20% pass-through deduction, extension of the bonus depreciation exemption, higher federal exemption for state and local taxes, higher exemptions for estate and gift taxes, and higher exclusions on some capital gains.

We're ALLLLLLLLL guilty of this. It's the American way! It's not just politics but sports... you name it.  

They are so wrapped up in trying to cash in on a fraud angle they don't understand the main points of my post which you enumerated.  

don't. It's not a good look for you. Especially at a time when, based on your posting over the past day or so, you don't seem to be at the top of your game.

I took on a project for a friend last week, and it's occupying my conscious until it's finished in a few more days.  My apologies for not having my eye completely on the ball.  

...and you are agreeing that crsm27 is the Stupidest Poster Of All Time.  
CDL: "I took on a project for a friend last week, and it's occupying my conscious [sic] until it's finished..."
COEUR-DE-CHAPON uses a flimsy excuse.  He threw crsm27 under the bus rather than admit he's a moron.

YOU AGAING MISS THE POINT....

At this point, BigP is just pulling arguments out of his ass.

Who now has added the self-granted title "intellectually superior." But in fact the only title he has earned is "partisan hack."

I’m not the only one intellectually superior to BigPapaFlop. You are as well. Now would a partisan hack say that? I think not!

See, I can correct my friends, too...

I thought it was obvious but ChicKie is NOT "reasonable and intelligent."
ChicKie is NOT "intellectually superior" to anyone.
I do NOT claim to be "intellectually superior" to anyone but every righty on this board.
ChicKie IS a partisan hack.
ChicKie seems to have become very upset and is losing his shit.
Please calm down, ChicKenShit.

What is the definition of "righty"? How do you know that you are "intellectually superior" to them? Sounds like you've taken a Trump cognition test...

chocolate pie he ate last night all by himself and recycle it by eating it again.  

the ACA requires government subsidies to exist at all.  It means that some of MY tax dollars are going to make it more affordable for people I don't even know.  Why can't I just take care of myself, and others take care of themselves?  This is just wealth redistribution, which is Socialism in its purest form.  As Karl Marx said, "Socialism is the train that takes you from capitalism to communism."  Is that really where mainstream Dems want to end up, or are they just too ignorant to see what's coming if they keep following the Progressives?

Folks on the left think folks on right are idiots. Folks on the right think folks on the left are idiots. We're all right.
