No, it was in fact you that misunderstood my post. I did not take what you said to mean that I am deliberately ignorant, and nothing in my post implied that I took it that way as far as I can tell. I was saying that most people would not go through life intentionally being wrong about something so important to them. Most people that are vocal about politics deeply believe in what they are saying.
There is so much information and misinformation out there these days that a lot of people just tune stuff out because it is hard to discern what is even real anymore, and I think that is exactly how the powers that be want it.
Oh, gross, a milk chocolate fan...
OK. I'll give you point number one about yourself.
Two - there is all kinds of information out there. FACTS. If a group of people (Dems and "Independents") CHOOSE to ignore the FACTS that are out there (i.e Obama's ideology, upbringing, friends and associates), then they are not sincerely believing anything.
They are deliberately remaining ignorant, and they are dangerous.
As for "deeply believing" leftist politics, I'll agree that a whole slew of millennials "deeply believe" that leftist politics are good for people and help the poor, but that is only because they are deeply ignorant of the FACTS. The people who run the Dem party, however, are not ignorant. They know full well that socialism is harmful to blacks, women and children, but they know a cash cow when they see how deeply stupid many Americans are....... especially young ones.
Conservative policies help people. Socialist policies hurt them, and the socialists who area foisting them on America are bad people.
People who don't know that are willfully ignorant, and therefore dangerous.
