C and P from a couple of sources..

Why did Democrats say that the US can't afford a $12B wall to defend our own border before giving $300B to Ukraine to defend the Ukraine-Russia border?
We don’t say we can’t afford it, we say it’s a waste of money. There’s a difference. The wall doesn’t do what the Republicans think it does.

This is a classic example of being trapped in a narrative. We tell stories to understand the world, then we mistake those stories for the world. Republicans hear “i*****l i*******t” and a story pops into their head of a Mexican creeping across the border in the dead of night. That happens every now and then, but it isn’t common. Most i*****l i*******ts drive through a checkpoint or fly in to the US, get their passports stamped, then never leave when their visa expires.

Walls won’t stop that.

But Republican’s can’t tell the difference between the story in their head—the Mexican sneaking across the border—and the reality of what happens. So they are literally, not metaphorically but literally, incapable of understanding the argument that walls don’t work. They cannot cognitively process it. They cannot jump outside the story in their head long enough to grasp it.

Ukraine is another example. Republicans talk about “the US spending money to support Ukraine,” and they imagine, I don’t know, a C-130 loaded with pallets of $100 bills.

That’s not what’s happening.

We’re sending them old military equipment that was, in most cases, slated to be destroyed and replaced anyway. The “dollar value” is the cost of replacing it…which we were going to do anyway.

But again, those words mean nothing. They’re just gibberish, because in order to understand the argument, you have to let go of the story in oyur head about pallets of cash, and Republicans can’t do that.

I’m not just busting on Republicans. We all, to some extent, see the world through narratives. But in those particular examples, the Republican narrative is firmly entrenched and Republicans seem cognitively incapable of seeing the world any other way.

I find a number of odd things about the BP when I take the time to look a little..

On Ukraine, I am so biased for Ukraine, knowing a few from my old high school days.. that I simply back anything that will seemingly help them and let it all flow down the stream of time..

But you may have seen me post a plot line that Hamas was inspired by Putin to spread disorder to more of the world.. Yes,, I seem to be a lone champion for that plot..

yes, I looked at that 6 chart article also..

>>>And the money going to Ukraine doesn't do what you say is does. It causes 100,000s of deaths to Ukraine people for a war that never should have started if it wasn't for American involvement were we shouldn't have been in the first place.

And the rest of your story is also full of bnull schitte. You just can't quit out right lying and twisting the t***h to support your wrong narrative. You are nothing more then a troll.

Troll alert. Big time.
