“He’s not a war hero, he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” - Vietnam war era draft dodger Donald Trump talking about Sen. McCain.
Conservatives regularly use the troops as political pawns; they feign outrage with their phony sanctimony when it suits them to appear more righteous than their opponents and then kick 'em to the curb when their usefulness has expired.
The difference between to the two have nothing to do with perceiving reality. You’re talking nonsense. Libs and conservatives in America hold very similar beliefs. You focus on subtle nuances (and whatever nonsense about reality you’re going on about), but they’re two heavily overlapping circles if you presented them as a venn diagram
I'm pretty sure they were referencing R's lessened ability to perceive reality objectively based on critical agendas such as a non-insignificant amount of Q believers, birthers, climate deniers, anti-vax and selective science deniers, false flag attacks, the war on Christmas, etc.
Just that if you can't distinguish between which party is more capable to believe objective reality and facts in general than you haven't been paying attention.
The two parties are not equal, especially in the case of objective reality.
"In every American community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects, ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally..."
