Non-Partisan Stuff

[Infidel 762]

Probably but I mean to pick on both sides when they both do this crap

At this point, I’m starting to see both sides as more alike than different. Same playbook, different branding—just tailored talking points for whichever audience they’re speaking to in the moment.

And the more you watch it play out, the more it starts to feel like the division isn’t just a side effect… it’s the point.

A divided society is easier to control.

There is a joke-the punchline is "Too lazy to steal"

At this point, calling people “partisan” feels way too polite. It’s not just left vs. right anymore—it’s turned into full-on ride-or-die mode for whatever team you picked.

You’ve got people tossing around labels like MAGA, groypers, III%ers, Antifa, BLM, Youth Liberation Fronts—like they’re trading cards—so they don’t even have to think about what the other person is actually saying. Once the label’s slapped on, the conversation’s basically over.

If their side wanders straight into a quagmire, they’ll defend it like it’s family—spin it, excuse it, blame the other side, whatever it takes. But let the “other team” do something that actually makes sense? Suddenly it’s garbage, dangerous, or part of some bigger scheme. No credit, no nuance, just automatic booing.

It all boils down to: “My side good, your side evil.” No gray area, no common sense—just knee-jerk reactions based on who said it, not what was said.

At that point, it’s not really politics anymore—it’s more like tribal loyalty with a comment section.

Some peoples loyalties are to a leader, some hold their loyalties to the party or group, and others hold their loyalties to the principals of liberty enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Supreme Law.

At this point, I’m starting to see both sides as more alike than different.

I first noticed this about 15 years ago. I was in a hotel watching "news" switching between cnn and fox.
I came away that night realizing it was one team playing both sides of the field. I stopped watching after that.
I rarely listen to talk radio anymore because it all seems choreographed so that they are just cheerleaders.
It seems to me that there is no longer news presented, but as you have stated, it is all partisan brainwashing. It's hard to find real news anymore.
I hate this fact because it has made me cynical.
The only truth that I know for certain is that Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me(John 14:6)".

There is an actual home with that punchline that i heard probably back in the late 80s but it's a to racist to repeat.. at least here in written text.

Last week the fed bought back 15 billion in bonds that no one wanted. Printing money is soo free and easy for them but illegal for us.

True to a tee but ever now and then someone is willing to vote there heart fetterman for example. I thought he would be bad news for conservatives but he sides with them on issues he feels is right. But maybe he just to run for potus
