DarkRoast 07/13/20 10:56:37 AM #47:	Ruvan22 posted... Again, which experts? And did they say "COVID doesn't exist if protesting" or "The risks are low"? For the third time, which public health experts said "rioting doesn't spread COVID"? Also, from this last post- 1) Studies afterwards showed there was minimal spread. Do you believe those were wrong? 2) Why is it so important for you to assign significant spread to protests? As someone who spent the better part of two decades indoctrinated into conservative propaganda, the answers are: 1) They literally believe that experts live in a bubble and don't understand how the "real world works." That somehow people with a decade or more of advanced education in a subject can have their worldview overturned by generalizations and straw man arguments. 2) They believe that the media's coverage of Republicans and Democrats is inherently unequal. This is actually true, however their response to this is to retreat to information echo chambers that, in any other country, would be considered straight-up partisan propaganda. Even with faced with objective proof that Trump or the GOP lied and/or directly spread misinformation and corruption, their first instinct is to find out what Sean Hannity or other rightwing commentator has to say as a retort. 3) They believe that isolated examples of Democrat/Liberal hypocrisy somehow makes them morally equivocal (or worse) than the blatant, disgusting misinformation-spewing corruption of the GOP. It's brainwashing. Rightwing theology is a cult at this point. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942049850] in Is this po...
