TubularTittyFrog comments on ‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meeting

You are captured by the false media narrative that you are one thing or the other.

The vast majority of voters are neither far right or far left. They are moderate. However, moderate people dont' get any airtime because the extremists here, and everywhere else, paint everyone as either FOR or AGAIN things.

Moderate voters went for Trump because he offered them a better platform to vote for, especially economically. And Trump's tanking now that his policies are showing to be horrible. But he has 2.5 more years in office.

They're not moderate, they're the people who will say "they just need to drop a bomb on that neighborhood" talking about the black neighborhood of course. They love acting moderate in public but they really want genocide against brown people and they want poor people without healthcare to be left in the street to die. Trump is doing exactly what they've been saying in private for decades.

You're talking about the far right, not the moderates. You're just proving the other commenters point.

Im really not, that's the average US voter. Idk yeah you can call them far right but then half the country is far right. And his point was that it's a false media narrative. Completely backwards, it's literally the mainstream media that works extremely hard to sell these "far right" positions as moderate.

Yeah, you're absolutely buying into the propaganda. The average voter is not saying we should bomb black neighborhoods, the far right is. The far right is not half the country. You're being led to believe it is because the far right has captured mainstream media and are trying to lead you to believe that their position is the moderate one, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've bought their propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

No i dont watch mainstream media, i go to people's homes for dinner and that's what they say. They just wish trump was more prudent with saying those things out loud.

Ah, so you're hanging out with the far right and assuming your anecdotes paint the whole picture.

No, my anecdotes are supported by the fact trump got elected twice. Once you leave either coast, the whole interior of the country is majority far right. Maybe Minnesota is different, that's one state ive never been there myself.
