Am I getting ahead of myself thinking today has been a good sign for Trump?

2020-11-26 00:19:14 UTC  

Did you notice all the reporting on this stop?

2020-11-26 00:19:26 UTC  

Yeah, I'd say it's a good day.

2020-11-26 00:20:28 UTC  

They've switched to reporting on him doing pardons and other last minute presidential orders

2020-11-26 00:21:55 UTC  

I did notice that. I’m trying to avoid listening to the media as much as possible. The gaslighting has been extreme lately

2020-11-26 00:22:37 UTC  

You don't listen to them to hear the truth, you listen to what they report so you know where the red herrings are and you don't need to look into.

2020-11-26 00:23:22 UTC  

Lol, good point

2020-11-26 00:23:22 UTC  

@Beth, you just advanced to level 2!

2020-11-26 00:23:33 UTC  

😊

2020-11-26 00:29:39 UTC  

HA!

2020-11-26 00:29:51 UTC  

We're on the same page.

2020-11-26 00:30:02 UTC  

Look at what they aren't reporting.

2020-11-26 00:33:21 UTC  

if you don't have a TV its easy to not listen to MSM 😛

2020-11-26 00:33:27 UTC  

TV? nooo

2020-11-26 00:33:31 UTC  

internet? yes

2020-11-26 00:34:30 UTC  

that's true but the mainstream still has a lot of pull, many people don't follow anything else

2020-11-26 00:34:56 UTC  

we're not at a point that we can just ignore it

2020-11-26 00:35:24 UTC  

When you live with someone who only listens to MSM & CNN for ‘news’ it’s infuriating

2020-11-26 00:36:13 UTC  

@Beth want some help with that?

2020-11-26 00:36:33 UTC  

Yes please 🙈

2020-11-26 00:37:04 UTC  

Understand that the data we have been exposed to is who we are, and who we are determines what political standpoint our emotions absorb.

2020-11-26 00:37:35 UTC  

your flatmate/spouse has been exposed to different data than you have.

2020-11-26 00:37:41 UTC  

That's all it is.

2020-11-26 00:39:00 UTC  

Why is that a source for frustration?

2020-11-26 00:39:59 UTC  

my wife mainly reads CNN website

2020-11-26 00:40:04 UTC  

and watches Colbert

2020-11-26 00:40:09 UTC  

it's tough

2020-11-26 00:40:20 UTC  

But even when I show the data I’ve seen it’s like talking to a wall... I find any form of media gaslighting extremely frustrating. I am aware that I have a bias... I really don’t like Biden

2020-11-26 00:41:02 UTC  

Note how I said "emotions absorb political standpoint" @Beth ?

2020-11-26 00:41:09 UTC  

No belief system is rational.

2020-11-26 00:41:16 UTC  

Socrates showed that.

2020-11-26 00:41:47 UTC  

You presenting data is a drop in the sea compared to what your opponent have absorbed over a lifetime.

2020-11-26 00:42:02 UTC  

Yes, you sound like a very intelligent person in psychology?

2020-11-26 00:42:15 UTC  

Im a psychiatrist.

2020-11-26 00:42:19 UTC  

But this is free.

2020-11-26 00:42:24 UTC  

That’s a very good point

2020-11-26 00:42:36 UTC  

Doc's the bomb...

2020-11-26 00:42:48 UTC  

(That's a good thing)

2020-11-26 00:42:56 UTC  

haha

2020-11-26 00:43:02 UTC  

bombs are always good.
