Sandi C: Whenever someone screams “fake news!” I immediately assume they’re unable to think themselves through regular life.
Going to Getugly: That’s right Sandi. Everyone reflexively conforming to the “Look at me! I hate Trump too!” group-think and who bought into the now thoroughly falsified ‘Russian collusion’ conspiracy theory are the embodiment of the capacity to ‘think for themselves’. That’s quite an impressively Orwellian interpretation.
Sandi C: The Russian collusion conspiracy wasn’t falsified. Now that the Muller report has been released beyond the AG who told Trump what he wanted to hear, it looks like there was collusion. I haven’t read it yet, but will be. I’d suggest you do the same.
Going to Getugly: Yes Sandi, it was falsified. Look, I understand that you are still deeply motivated to continue believing that your mindless conformity to the group-think was an indication of how enlightened and insightful you are… and like everyone who bought into the conspiracy theory your ego is now imploding. Unfortunately the impulse for a lot of people when faced with the choice between protecting their ego and acknowledging reality is to protect their ego. You are one of those people Sandi.
Sandi C: on hun…group-think? Really? That’s what you’ve pulled out of “let’s all read the report and come to conclusions based on the report not what Trump wants us to believe”?
Going to Getugly: Sandi… the report is out. Everyone has had the opportunity to read it. You’ve lost. It’s time to come to grips with the fact that YOU are one of the naive, easily manipulated people who bought into this ridiculous conspiracy theory because you are a conformist and your priority is aligning yourself with whatever appears to you to be the most fashionable attitude to hold in the moment.
There are informed and credible people who despise Trump but who, unlike you, hold themselves to principle and rationality… the Left wing journalist Glen Greenwald springs to mind…. and who recognize that this entire thing as a farce and a particularity dangerous one at that.
This should be a lesson to you to identify how your own intellectual and ethical weaknesses makes you susceptible to manipulation by powerful interests who market themselves to you as the righteous and trustworthy faction of the ruling class.
