    More gaslighting, fear mongering by FOX to anger the Trump base reinforcing their culture shock and victim mentality. Simply, it's evil.

    The only brainwashing I can remember enduring while watching cartoons was the depiction of law enforcement (think Deputy Dawg, Mighty Mouse, and Superman) as good guys and thieves and robbers as bad guys.

    I guess it worked. I still think cops are good and crooks are bad. Which is one reason I'll never be the District Attorney in Los Angeles.

    But now good and bad are subjective terms, as are "man" and "woman."

    I feel sorry for today's young people.

    The Fox News detractors here are missing an important point. Its ratings are high -- 3 and 4 times its competitors in certain times and demos -- because more people watch and like Sean Hannity than do Don Lemon or Rachel Maddow. The liberal networks have finally -- finally! -- given up on Keith Olbermann, but his angry ghost still walks the halls of MSNBC.

    That sounds obvious, but the point is that the Fox News viewer is more typical of the average American with his traditional views than those who watch shows celebrating what we conservatives deem a breakdown of civilization. He just is. The majoritarian view is important. In a democracy, it deserves respect. But some hear "Fox" and think it represents some aberrational point of view. It doesn't.

    How did so many things get turned upside down?

    in a democracy, the majoritarian view may be important, but here in the constitutional republic it is merely mob rule. or maybe even my original typo "mob rile" two wolves (carlson and owens) voting on which sheep to have for dinner.

    So is this a statement that girls don't wear dresses anymore? Some play on gender norms?

    Just make everything grey and be done with it? Why is she standing in that pose? That's a feminine pose. You should be outraged that they drew her standing with a more bold hip posture. Change it! What the hell are we teaching young children? That girls can't stand straight?

    Should probably toss that bow as well. Maybe change the name to "Min" and her pronouns to "they/them". Think of how much stronger we will be as a nation if more people were encouraged to be non binary? It may mean that our domestic population replacement figures will drop since non binaries typically hack off their junk to prove a bold point, BUT we can just keep flooding in foreign migrants who have no clue as to how a democratic society works our culture and our laws and who cares if we lose our identity as a nation?

    China/Russia would surely be scared of our diversity!

    It's our strength! (if you ignore all the current racial strife going on right now)

    :)

    Candace literally said that the left does this as distraction from the real issues, then you go and prove it?

    It's actually her full-time job to comment on culture. She is just showing how many small changes result in large changes in culture.

    KOMANDURI: I think we need to really push back on the idea that conspiracy theories are somehow equivalent to conservative opinion. They're not the same the same thing.

    You know, I think a lot of people, for example, will listen to me and say, "Hey, you're a Democrat. Of course you feel this way about Fox News." Well, think about this as a thought experiment. Imagine if we had Bill Kristol or George Will running Fox News. They would not run a single segment that I as a Democrat would agree with. However, it would be nothing like the Fox News that exists today, the Fox News of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Fox News of ivermectin enthusiasts, the Fox News as the favorite news channel of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán. That is what Fox News has become.

    And I think that that disinformation is extremely dangerous and I think it's very necessary that Democrats really push back on the idea that this Fox is peddling conspiracy theories, not conservative opinions.

    Not only do girls not wear dresses anymore, they do not necessarily have vaginas or cervixes anymore. The celebrated female impersonator who swims for the University of Pennsylvania reportedly still has male genitalia AND "dates" women, though it is unclear if the women he "dates" are really women or just other female impersonators, aka transgenders.

    If you were born male, have male genitalia, have male chromosomes, and still "date" women, in what respect are you not a man?

    This leaves us with the question: what is a woman? I think it is an adult female human being. Actually, I know that it is.

    It's the truth, pretty sure you know it is :) Just off the top of my head "The rich are not fair" or "Blacks are held back, because Whites are privileged" need we go on ;)

    I mean it is culturally important. The majority of Chileans, Chinese, French, Nigerians and Americans determine what the culture is, not the outliers and weirdos.

    So not a rebuttal or even relative cogency. Totally understandable rabbit hole for one.

    It's just absurdity of it all. People so eager to engaged in moronic nonsense that now M&M has a new persona when just being delicious was the selling point :roll:

    I'm not sure what smelting has to do with the subject but I still think you'd gain some perspective if you read the article.

    I'll be honest, I really don't pay that much attention to your replies until it gets to personal point and badgering!

    So what are you discussing? The two clips or Disney, M&M's or FOX news for reporting the lunacy?

    Or you wanting me to help you derail the thread?

    Thank you for making my point. Honesty is important and it's obvious that FOX isn't.
