People seem to look for the bad in others first.
Some seem to never look for the good in others.

WELL PEOPLE SEEM TO FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR!

I say look for the best in others & you will find the hope for the better life we all wish to lead.

It’s very difficult in this day in age. With Trump this country has to see a barrage of hate filled Tweets on a daily basis. That hate gets in the heads of the right wing even though these people know its a lie.

The key to my having stayed on the OPP as long as I have centers around realizing that those who post thoughts, ideas or comments in conflict with mine also post some in which we align. As I've written many times, reasonable people may have reasonable differences. C'est la vie

I accept the probability that others think just as highly of my opinions as I do of theirs.

You know I agree with the Trump tweets being bad, and not very presidential, however, as a free thinking individual, I am not at all filled with hatred because of what Trump says. Just like all Liberals are not idiots, not all people who support the president are deplorables. We do all need to learn to get along

Though I'm not sure to whom your comment is directed, but I wholeheartedly agree with your position.

I will add that Floyd Brown has been one of my favorite posters for the years I've been on OPP.

We search for confirmation that, what we already believe to be true, is true, and ignore exculpatory evidence. It's a failure of all humans.

Well the idea is that if you wish to be able to control the masses you need to divide them.
While the masses argue among them self the leadership makes deals with each other that fatten their pockets & keeps the masses divided.

There don't seem to be enough people smart enough to think for them self & be independent.

Well those that could don't seem to be those that are up to the task of getting others to do deeper thinking.

We are a site with too many trolls & too many sheep.
Too many that think it is best to just drink the kool-aid.

Trump's tweets are always in response to an attack by the REAL haters. Without his tweets, most of America would never hear what he wants to say. The only lies the right know of are the ones put out there by the left, who BTW KNOWS they are lying.

All the effort you are no putting in to sell Trump to the left is just a waste of your time.

The man is ill equipped to be president.
I am not calling for his impeachment.
He is the rights problem & he has take any respectfulness of the republican party and show how weak & out of touch with current issues & unhealthy that party is.

The rights long term credibility was been shattered.
The will now be a term of undoing of what trump has done.
In the hopes to bring this nation back to being a respectable nation.

You are going to be reminded that this nation is more than a play thing for the right.

I have tried that.

Trump is now a demented old man & letting him get away with his senility has to be stopped.
He will take the whole republican party down with him.
It is time for the right to step up to save any credibility they have & get rid of Trump.

I for one am for leaving the problem of Trump to the republicans.
They have him.
They like him so much that they would seem to want to die with him.
As well they might.

I am just an old white male with a bit of means & of reasonable intelligence.
Having a few assets & few wants.
