The thing is, and I'm not saying anything that everyone here does not know, the DU is the biggest collection of folkes that is so willing to lie to themselves.
Lie to each other, willfully ignore anything that does not adhere to the groupthink.
Pittstain (I think) recently referred to the DUmp as a think tank but as ridiculous as that thought is I think that there is a kernel of truth to it.
It's like a sand blaster of sorts, or rather a giant food fight.
Facts are about #6 or so on the list of important things, the most important thing is produce some kind of meme (I hate that word) that they think might get some traction, truth be damned.
All politics all the time. Everything gets politicized like a scorched earth policy.
