Thank you. It drives me bananas that people are so fucking lazy they can't see any shade of gray. This is why bOtH sIdEs is popular. People just cannot be bothered to look at a fucking detail every now and then. Makes me want to scream.

High five.

it seems like Americans watched the South Park episode about Trump and Hillary, assumed it was the factual, comprehensive truth about all politics everywhere forever, and then never looked at any of the facts ever again.

The democrats reduce inflation.

The Republicans force women to die in hospital parking lots.

democrats fund civil rights advocacy groups.

The Republicans make memes about murdering senators.

Democrats significantly increase the value of the US dollar and lower unemployment

The leader of the Republicans is a rapist.

Honestly, you might be right about the SP episode. It was good criticism for its time, but people are literally too stupid to process context/nuance.
