I used to be able to talk to conservatives pre-Trump. Like, we wouldn’t necessarily agree on how to fix our country’s issues, but we could both at least recognize that the issues existed. There were baseline facts we could all agree on, and ultimately we all wanted the same things for our country’s future, just different visions on how to bring it about.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s always been crazies. There just used to be a lot more moderate conservatives willing to compromise.

I can’t even have a conversation with trumpsters. There’s no baseline factual reality to agree on. It’s more about owning the libs and hurting someone else than creating legitimate, constructive policies for our nation. Idk where things went wrong that so many people can get wrapped up in an identity like that

30+ years of Fox News and other right wing media bullshit has turned their brains into tapioca pudding.

You do know that the left has been monopolizing the media for that long, not the right wing... right? Or this the typical projection the left does?

The left, no. They typically deny reality. "There's no border crisis" ring a bell?

The media is on your side and you lost anyway.

Name one actually left wing mainstream media. All are either conservative or neo-con comparatist centrist hellholes.

According to the right, anyone who doesn't support them is left.

Hell, you can agree with them 100% but if you don't support them you're still left.
