Are you a Trump supporter?

Does it ever give you pause that with all these events with an immense amount of variables you can't possibly know, you always confidently conclude the truth is a fairly extreme scenario that happens to line up with your political ideology?  

You know that's how religious thinking works as well, right?  That there's some unknown variables, and they make a bunch of assumptions that they can't justify, that always happens to lead to confidence God exists.

Isn't it weird how the answers are always what you want them to be?

you are so wise

CNN for the last 18 months or so seems like at least once a week been posting in big red text on the homepage how some event is going to be the end of the Trump presidency.  And every time that happens, someone posts in politics about the newest headline, with "Get ready for Jail Donny!"  But then a few days pass, and it's over.  And at no point during this 18 months has anyone taken a step back and said "Hmm, I think CNN may be sensationalizing these headlines a bit."  

Do you recognize the disconnect in what you guys thought was going to happen, and what actually happened with all of these incidents?  And that it keeps happening over and over and over. 

Remember Donald hasn't paid taxes since whenever.  And then they leaked his tax return to Maddow, and Rachel was like "Yup, he paid some taxes" as her big reveal?  And then that story about him never paying taxes disappeared forever and was never mentioned again?  The fact media was strongly implying something that was false never really got addressed. Just onto the next thing.

Just blink twice if you recognize on some level that you're being manipulated into some probably unjustified opinions.
