    What kind of critical thinking skills do you really need to understand the phrase, “The President of the United States is a pedophile?” You don’t even need to read it, either, you can just hear someone say it.

      bruv, it’s soo bad, you can tell an アメコ: “Trump raped your kids!” ⅓ will look at you “So?” The other ⅓: “So let’s vote him out!!” And being 1/1M, I’ve been saying: “When are we overthrowing these ⅔s‽”
      They are absolutely politically illiterate.

      You need critical thinking skills to care more about the president being a pedo than about pwning the other political side.

        But it’s not that people lack critical thinking skills, it’s that they blithey bypass them for a whole host of reasons.

        The problem on the left is they think rational arguments win fights. They don’t. Emotional arguments, world building, identity, etc, win fights.

        The second problem left is that the best emotional argument we have–the rich want to eat us all–endangers the Democratic Party’s funding.
