Why do the left fabricate narrations so often, declaring them a reality?

[Zincwarrior]

Nobody is hoping the stock market crashes.

Some people are predicting it, which is not the same thing at all.

Its not a prediction. Its happening. Retailers are cutting back forecasts. The Fed now predicts GDP declining. These are real, and the direct result of whiplashing trade and economic policy.

I have a theory. Just like we conservatives believe that our thinking and actions and proposals are good and virtuous (etc.), so too do our liberal pals (most, albeit not all of them) see their own thinking as being purer and so forth.

One of the reasons we tend to get so irritated with the stuff said by our opposing side’s rhetoric is because they don’t see things in a similar light.

For example, if personally don’t give a crap if some guy wants to believe that he is actually a she. But I do see the inclusion of biological males in women’s sports as being obviously unfair to the female competitors.

By contrast, the “thinking” of the other side is that it’s “unfair” to the biological males to discriminate against them when they seek to compete against actual women.

That’s a pretty substantive disconnect.

And it applies to a wide array of topics.

We can’t even agree on the basic premises of many syllogisms.

"Substantive disconnect" says about all I need to know.

As of February 27, 2025, the US GDP was $29.72 trillion, which is up from $29.37 trillion in the previous quarter. This is a 5.03% increase from the same period a year ago.

Shit I'd cut forecasts too, 5.03% is just not sustainable, and would contribute to inflation.

The biggest thing is that the job creation was not Government jobs but private sector jobs.
Meaning people are getting hired to do real work. Auto Industry alone was 5,000 jobs.

Sure, the vision of the future is NOT clear.
But that's why everyone is whining....their line of information to make insider trading really profitable is demolished.

And China's AI and quantum computing just buried Google's quantum chip computing.
By being 1,000,000 (million times) faster.

103 q-bit chips will do that. Google has a 3 q-bit chip.

Meaning block chain encryption for cryptocurrency is completely open to China. They can steal or duplicate at will.

Meaning expect another rough Monday.

There's that Dem DOOM and GLOOM narrative we are used to, every time they lose an election.

 

[BluesLegend]

I'll explain Democrats to you...

1. They are prissy elitist snobs who are convinced they are the smartest people on earth.

2. They 1000% cannot handle rejection. See (1)

Hence all these false narratives to explain away the rejection. In 2016 they consoled their egos with the 'popular vote' and Russian interference. But in 2024 Trump stripped away every scrap of doubt, Democrats were REJECTED and rejected huge. Hence Democrats are currently in disarray.

Well if checked out information besides gatewaypundit you would get something besides propaganda.

Much of America is essentially operating in two separate, proprietary realities right now.

If an individual wants to believe that their reality is the correct one, great. Run with it. There are no longer any standards or penalties for being wrong. There is now media and available "information" that fully fits, confirms, validates and justifies anyone's worldview.

This split of realities is killing us. We don't appear to care enough to do anything about it, so we deserve what we get.

I just saw a whole load of memes on J.D. Vance. Of course, from Progs. Knock him all you want. The man is Presidential. The irony is many Prog politicians and Progs are actual living memes.

but again, nobody is hoping for it.

I'm reminded of my girlfriend's brother and sister-in-law, they're well to do left spoiled rotten, living inside their protective bubbles. Educated (cough!) personal airplanes, vacations all over the world. They CONSTANTLY say shit that just isn't true, because like all leftists they're parrots. Using their own heads is too much trouble, and certainly inconvenient.

Their bubble is so strong you can't discuss anything negative with them, including the illnesses and deaths of their own, it's just too much reality for them to handle. Very strange, but that's the way it is. Yet they want to share their TDS, and how they wish Trump would just die. Shit they have their SPOILED ROTTEN bubble-wrapped kids so fucked over. At thanksgiving dinner one said she was sorry the bullet missed.

Look out, here comes the deep analysis from Dr. Projecto.

If an individual wants to believe that their reality is the correct one, great. Run with it.

Look who's talking!

There are no longer any standards or penalties for being wrong.

We saw that in full bloom the other night with Al Green and the democraps.

There is now media and available "information" that fully fits, confirms, validates and justifies anyone's worldview.

Really? Show us yours!

This split of realities is killing us. We don't appear to care enough to do anything about it, so we deserve what we get.

If there is now media and available "information" that fully fits, confirms, validates and justifies anyone's worldview, who gets to decide which one is correct?

 

[toobfreak]

I just saw a whole load of memes on J.D. Vance. Of course, from Progs. Knock him all you want. The man is Presidential.

If Vance were not doing so good a job, the Left would not be busy making memes knocking him. It is a form of flattery and vindication.

You don't see anyone making any memes about Joe Biden, do you?
