And there were GoFundMe's for Kyle Rittinghaus's criminal defense- for killing 3 people. You point?

Individual vs Political party and 12 affiliated sub organizations. Big difference in intent and scope.

If you call that anything but self defense you're an idiot.

Major Democrat fundraising organization Act Blue still allows you to donate money for the sole purpose of bailing out jailed leftist activists. Maybe some like-minded mongers will donate their hooker money to Act Blue (balled).

Well, Harris did tweet out a link to all of her followers that would let you donate to the bail money of jailed protestors after the killing of George Floyd. As of last fall, she hadn't deleted the tweet. So, not totally ignorant.

If what you say is true then who was it that bailed all those rioters out of jail? Wait I'll answer that for you it was Kamala Harris I believe she's a Democrat. The Democrats were never appalled by those riots they encourage them and if you think otherwise that's on you.

If you choose to not discuss religion or politics you are missing out on learning new ideas.

This is the problem with our country. People are scared to speak what they think because those that disagree will claim they are offended because they are ignorant. So you are falling into their tramp. What we need is open and honest communication so we can share ideas.

Totally agree I'm just not sure how interested I am in political deep dives on a forum about hookers. Also this seems like a Fox News versus MSNBC or NPR debate. What you watch is how you think. It's boring and predictable. Everybody go get laid.

Refer to OP above for context.

Everything = ALL things.

Everything is fake news followed by a meme = ALL things including meme is fake.

Cognitive Dissonance = is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with ew information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.

In the OP no clear position was taken right left up down front back sideways etc.

Comments posted below which ignored the statement 'Everything is fake news (which included the meme)' aka All Things, and only focused on the meme are examples of cognitive dissonance outcomes.

People may perceive what they want but not
necessarily what actually is. People may/may not react to this perception in a manner that is
or is not aligned with reality.

This is also part of how game theory works

Everything is fake news. Except the Steelers suck and _ichigan sucks more.

Point out where I was wrong.

Pretty much all of it.

Your post is like comparing apples to oranges. Based on the meme you posted (Tommy Lee Jones is a democrat BTW) the argument you seem to be supporting is that anyone who is a democrat supported violence during BLM protests. While it is true some BLM protesters were violent, it is a lie and hyperbole to suggest ALL democrats supported it. It would also be a lie to say all republicans supported the violence of Jan 6. The HUGE difference is that the latter was incited by the leader of the free world, the most powerful person in America sworn to uphold the constitution. The actions of the president on Jan 6 were treasonous. He should be tried, as should any violent BLM protesters. The fact remains that the violence of Jan 6 was based on a lie about the election being stolen that continues to this day despite no evidence. But as trump himself has said: He could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn't lose voters. He did a lot worse than that and the sheep continue to follow.

Oh, and sadly the steelers don't suck, historically speaking. But fuck them.

Steelets Suck. _ichigan Sucks More.

"Everything" else is fake news.

Well except yo mamma is a ho and yo daddy is probably first gen forum monger WordUp. Jk. But not about Steelers or _ichigan LOL.

How old are you?

Seriously.

The fake news is that democrats were cheering on rioters who were burning down businesses. Both parties were abhorred at that behavior. Fox News simply put their ignorant spin on it, and the deplorables ran with it. Like always. Like they still do. It's why I'm no longer a Republican. The Republican Party of trump makes me sick. It's vomit inducing.
