I try to explain to leftists how we right-thinking people are BOMBARDED with far-left propaganda on a daily basis. TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, everything pushes the latest far-left talking points.
I explain that we're used to hearing 'opposing' viewpoints and used to dealing with them. It is the leftists who have never even heard a right-thinking viewpoint and are shocked to discover them.
They cannot grasp this, they think it's made-up. By doing so (rejecting new ideas) they prove it, but that too is lost on them 😋
I've been perusing reddit since election night. The extent to which they are insulated from any dissenting opinions cannot be overstated. They couldn't begin to articulate a real right wing opinion because they've only seen them filtered through their media. Then something like last Tuesday happens and they can't process it. It's pathetic to witness.
It's worse than just being insulated, it's reinforced by the scoring.
Any reasonable comments on reddit are at the very bottom marked with negative votes to reinforce that 'everybody' finds it reprehensible. Even if you sort by controversial and see a few rational comments, the next level boosts the most insane hivemind reply (also controversial because the sane people are there downvoting it).
Scoring should work where each upvote is worth say 5 downvotes.
They'd need 5x more hivemind voters (since each user only gets one vote) to drown out minority views and so what would happen is you'd see retard hivemind view and then not too far below it an actual sane, factual, reasonable view.
I'm convinced that the reason they actually hid up/down totals was to purposely encourage this hivemind.
That's before the comment gets removed and the user who posted it gets banned.
ResetEra's had some hilariously dumb takes this past week. Along with a few, legitimately reflective or self-aware comments, which immediately get pounced on by everyone else.
The biggest irony being, that a lot of these threads are on topics such as "what do we do to bring men back to the left" and other questions trying to answer why they lost the election. Hilariously and totally incapable of self-awareness.
One of the most amusing conclusions they've been drawing is that clearly they need to shove MORE propaganda down peoples' throats. (Because clearly, their propaganda couldn't POSSIBLY be pushing people away, right?)
And the answer they come up with is "Break up with your boyfriend! 4B!"
Do you have links.
Mostly just to the active threads. I don't want to go digging around for individual comments right now though, but there's certainly enough of them:

There's a few more threads than that too popping up, since the leftists are just spastic.
Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Funny enough he underperformed Harris in VT.
Post so links for us all to enjoy.
A fun one to dig through is the day the fake Selzer poll dropped showing Harris up +3 in Iowa. The copium was real that day. Only turned out to be a 17 point miss. Whoops.

They will turn around and moan about "right wing media" as if that's even a thing. The existence of Fox News justifies their fantasy of being the underdog rather than the empire that's busy crushing everything underfoot.
They think because so many media outlets say the same thing then that must mean they're unbiased. They can't even comprehend that most of the media is actually far-left.
They don't even realize that they are far-left. It's like trying to explain water to a fish.
Of course you could easily point out how much the Overton window has shifted, and how opinions that were considered leftist 10 years ago are considered far-right today. But then they'll insist that everything was worse in the past. "Don't believe your nostalgia!"
Fox News, that bastion of right-wing news, owned by... a Clinton supporter whose wife works for Hillary Clinton.
It's not biased views, it's called being a decent human bean! There's no point bring up the opposite views just like there's no point discussing the benefits of slavery!
