Fauci-gate

[hog88]

The same could be said for viewers of right leaning news networks. People’s willingness to buy into cult or personalities is obvious.

My perception, however, is left leaning thinkers are more prone to group think and being swayed by appeals to authority. I also believe the people who shape thought understand that very well.

100% agree. Newstaintment understands their audiences.

 

[hog88]

Yeah, right wingers don't subscribe to group think.

Nowhere near the levels of the left.

 

[DC_Vol]

Yeah, right wingers don't subscribe to group think.

Good counter point! Arguing against something I never said. Hope it made you feel better!

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Yeah, Qanon says otherwise.

 

[hog88]

Yeah, Qanon says otherwise.

LOL

Very tiny % of the people, now if you want to compare Qanon believers to Putingate fanatics let's go.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cloth masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 from those who without symptoms. This means that although cloth masks do not have the capability to filter tiny particles like an N95 mask, it can still help prevent the spread of the disease by blocking respiratory droplets that leave a person's mouth while coughing, sneezing or talking.

So does duct tape with tiny pin holes poked in it so you can breath , but I haven’t seen the feds ..err I mean the CDC mandate that yet .

To your point…
Democrats are infected by a virus, but it's not COVID—it's fear | Opinion

“And it's widely documented that Democrats are more likely to consume and place trust in traditional mainstream media outlets, which could be one reason they've fallen prey to disproportionate alarmism.”

Americans Remain Distrustful of Mass Media

 

[TN Ribs]

Yeah, Qanon says otherwise.

53% of Republicans believe that Trump is the "true President". The right wing has cornered the market on
group think.

And how many Democrats thought Trump was "illegitimately" elected in 2016? It goes both ways

I don't know any. I think he was aided by a campaign of misinformation, but I think that is always the case. Our misinformation campaigns are just much more effective now.

so then wouldn't misinformation campaigns cancel out?

In various elections, I think one side is going to be more effective. Not always the same side, but one side.

 

[volinbham]

so in 2016 Trump was more effective but Biden was in 2020?

 

[DC_Vol]

It seems incongruent to believe both of the following:

1- we need to expand voting rights
2- Russian memes on Facebook is influenced voting behavior

 

[Septic]

I guess I don't see all the hub bub about Fauci.

Seems like the right has a hardon for using this guy as a punching bag. I suspect it helps them keep distracted from having to reconcile that they love to brag about how fast Trump brought the vaccine to the market while simultaneously telling everyone that will listen that they aren't taking it because they don't trust it, because it was rushed..

Not surprising.

 

[Septic]

Not surprising.

I mean, this guy absolutely made mistakes but damn - at some point you're going to have to let go of your clutched pearls and stop staggering around like Fred Sanford going to see Elizabeth.

It's not like the other elephant in the news cycle, Rudy G on tape begging for foreign influence in our last election cycle. I suppose that kind of stuff just gets thrown on the perpetual dumpster fire that was DJT, oh well.

I'll show myself to the door.

You don't have a hard time with our highest paid gov't official lying while testifying to Congress or do you not believe we sent money for Coronavirus research to Wuhan?

 

[midnight orange]

Good podcast on COVID from an evolutionary biologist that specializes in bats. Kind of lengthy though.

I believe the flames of those points are being fanned to make mountains out of molehills.

Given the administration that he became famous under - I don't think I'd lead the charge of ginned up out rage with "he's a liar."

He made mistakes, sure - but the desperation by the right to scapegoat Fauci for Trumps shortcomings is painfully obvious. You guys would be better served to just to let sleeping dogs lie, he has been and will always have a higher approval rating and be looked upon more favorable by the American public than Donny. If you keep shining a light on Fauci, he'll keep reminding the nation of what a terrible time it was for the nation under Trumps guidance.

So your answer is you're OK with it.

A lot of people disagree with you so there's the answer to your original question.

One more thing, you folks have got to get past the "but, but, but Trump..." excuse for everything. This is not about Trump. As soon as you go down that road you expose yourself. This is about Fauci.

No, I'm not - why would you assume that I am?

I don't recall asking a question.

I didn't "whatabout" trump - I was simply pointing out that if you keep Fauci in the news cycle, you're also keeping Trump in it. I believe this is some sort of paradoxical abortion that while you think it's doing harm to Facui's cred, it's really a Fauci hating echo chamber that is keeping Trump in the news cycle for everyone to see and for all the wrong reasons.
