How messed up are Trump Supporters?

Suggested rewrite for your Religious Views declaration:

Religious Views: Bad person, worse Christian

[Crossless2.0]

So convince people to buy newspapers, and they'll stick around. 

Maybe you can bring back the horse-drawn carriage business while you're at it.

Cute. 

So how do you get your local news, Alpha?

[John V]

People get their news in other ways.

People like A/M can't handle long investigative reports.  When you have the attention span of a six year old a ten second sound bite is about all he can manage....just like his hero the Orange Fucktard.

Not from print newspapers. Until two weeks ago, my daughter had been a daily carrier for the local rag for two years, and I didn't even bother reading the leftovers for free.

Aw, somebody's butt-hurt that his position was shown to be ridiculous.

Conspiracy crap like Brietfart and Alex Jones.

Ok, so where?

Or do you not really follow it?

Word of mouth, social media, but I don't really follow it

Word of mouth . . . social media . . . good luck with those sources. Lol

As a conservative, I assume you would agree with the need for a vigorous democratic process at the local and state levels to offset centralized power at the federal level. Devotion to federalism is supposed to be one of the pillars of your politics. I would think you would not be so cavalier about local news.

As for Jefferson's quotes, most of the papers of his time were simply partisan rags. Journalistic standards and practices have changed somewhat since then, and the better papers provide vastly better news coverage than was typical of 1800.

As a conservative I think that my actions as an individual have far greater impact on my well-being than the actions of government, so yeah, I'm pretty cavalier about it. The constitution was set up pretty well so that we can just go about our lives.

The issue isn't about whether you can stick your head in the sand (I assume you do), but whether you should. The Constitution isn't a damn government auto-pilot setting. The framers envisioned an educated, engaged citizenry.

But to each his own, I suppose. I hope that word of mouth thing works out for you.

And let's not even get started on our decades-long agriculture subsidies. It's not a coincidence that every damn thing in the supermarket contains sweetened corn syrup.

Don't you know, Crossless, it's only an unfair trade practice when the other side does it.
