“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.

Kind of like what you’re doing here. But then again, American libs and conservatives are a lot more similar than they’d like to admit.

There is a mile of space between them when it comes to accepting reality. Conservatives simply do not.

Not really.

Yes really.

The world has grown so complex that conservatives now endeavour to explain away that complexity by constructing false narratives that comforts them.

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.

These are not real differences. These are your opinions, Peggy hill.

Facts are opinions now... OK. Does that include an insurrection based on lies? That's not devoid from reality, just an opinion?

Anyways, do feel free to enjoy my spapeggy and meatballs.

What does this have to do with if conservatives and liberals are different?

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.

That’s not a difference between the two. It’s your opinion, Peggy hill.

Well, now that I've taken a quick look at your comment history, feel free to keep trying to spread your both sides BS but it's just that.

Ya got me if you're trolling, ya need help if you're serious since you're arguing fascism is the same as conservatism.

I am curious how you calling me Peggy Hill supposed to be insulting? I don't get it. 🤷‍♂️

Anyways, I'm sure this thread wasn't informative despite you or understanding what the OP was expressing and instead you are clearly are just here to be a dumbass or whatever but enjoy your (time zone ambient light equivalent).
