Current Events > Those voter focus groups CNN does make me lose all faith in Americans

(+) Yeah! (+)

Woman on TV: "I still plan to vote for Trump in 2020 because of his conservative family values and faith is very important to me."

Me [shaking fist at TV]: "YOU DUMB FUCKING BITCH. You claim to care about "family values" and you show it by voting for a twice-divorced casino magnate who has openly admitted to sexually assaulting women, and who has repeatedly cheated on his wife with porn stars--then paid them to shut up about it. How are you this stupid?! I mean that literally: how are you this fucking brain dead? If you are a single-issue voter on abortion, fine--but be open about it. If you honestly believe Trump is a man of faith, you are literally one of the stupidest people in this country."
[Heavy breathing]

Probably should start by turning off CNN since it's shit.

Better than Fox News. CNN is horrifically biased, but at least they don't just straight up lie. I found this on Fox news this week--and immediately found a Snopes fact check debunking the whole thing. Frankly shocked it is still up.

The beginning of this video sums up the entirety of how I feel like when I think about Trump supporters who also claim to
Support family values

I wish they would just say it. The whole "family values" shtick has completely lost all merit in this administration. They are literally about to push an accused rapist onto the supreme court because he will further restrict abortion. That and attacking gay people are all they care about. They don't give a damn about faith. It is disgusting.

The snopes article you linked doesn't claim the case never happened - it outright admits it does, but says the judge ruled *in favor* of the Fords.

Which is exactly what the Fox article you linked says, too - even in the very URL.

And considering we have a left-biased and right-biased source saying the same thing here... it's probably true.

I lost faith in 2016, and had my predictions based on patterns confirmed every day ever since. nobody wants to hear "I told you so" when they want to sweep their participation in something their ashamed of under the rug, lolololol. friendships have been destroyed and some hurtful things have been said that aren't going to be addressed.

That's because the Fox News article was accurate. Your Snopes link disproves the opposite of it.

My working theory here is that Trump opponents are stuck on outrage mode, while his supporters have been paying attention to all the great stuff that's going on and are engaged enough to read up on an issue instead of screaming to the sky right out the gate.

It's called single issue voting, as long tas you find one thing you agree with on Trump that's all you care about, lots of people vote that way, hell there are people who fucking hate trump but support him because his policies are making them extremely richer and less accountable should anything go wrong.
