I think people don't have enough free time. We work and work and stress and the time not working is %110 taken up by other work or just plain decompressing in any way possible the minimum amount required to head back into it, or less. Who has time to research poo poo that doesn't directly affect you RIGHT NOW? No wonder falling back on tribalism and superstition and whatever feels right is just how it goes; if nothing else it's a real time saver.

I think this is an okay opinion to have but I don't agree with it. It takes me five seconds of google to see if that sensationalist headline is bullshit or not. And when your only sources are some wacko websites like "conservativeopinion.org" or "liberalthinking.net" or "americanfundamenalist.com" then you shouldn't believe what you're reading.

It seriously doesn't take very long or all that much effort to be well informed about what is going on.

The amount of conservative spin to paint it as "driving into crowds is only *terrorism* when a Muslim/foreigner does it and those commies had it coming" is going to rip open a naked singularity that will fall into the Earth's core and remorselessly tear the planet apart.

Unless you have witnesses who can identify the driver, the plate is meaningless.

Think you kinda got it backwards there, he's been championing white nationalists from the day he rode down that escalator. People like Bannon and the other cronies don't see this as a bad thing, and with the Swiss cheese brain Donnie's got those cronies Wormtongue-ing to him all day means he's probably going to find some plausibly deniable way to support them.

Police dispersed the original #unitetheright rally, now its just scattered crowds marching around, mostly anti-nazis. The crowd that got hit was anti-nazi.

The vast majority of the neo-nazis had fled with their tails between their legs after the police pushed them out of the ground they were holding. This is one who stuck around to deliberately target counter protesters.
