    So you’re just going to pretend the first half of this conversation didn’t happen and that I didn’t leave plenty of room for that obvious issue we all see. Cool.

    The adult thing to do would be admit your information was outdated and wrong.

      Don’t talk to me like that.

      My information wasn’t wrong. It clearly showed that a majority of Democrats agree with Republicans, and that hasn’t changed. The only thing that has changed over the years is that Republicans have become even more stupid and chauvinist. It was outdated, I didn’t notice, but the updated information doesn’t contradict my point.

      You’re trying to make this about Republicans vs Democrats, but the reality your own link shows is that this conspiracy theory has been made mainstream by our government and our media. Republicans are worse. Who fucking cares? Death to America.

      You need to accept that the Democratic Party has played a major role in spreading these lies. Don’t absolve them.

        You’re right that was a shitty tone and undeserved.

        That being said my point is and always been that there is a way more acceptance of this conspiracy from republicans. I said a lot of democrats believe it. I said it was mainstream.

          I recognize your point. My point is that it’s not just Republicans. We can’t let Dems off the hook for their complicity.

              Well when I pointed out a huge number Democrats believe this shit too, you argued against it by saying it doesn’t compare and it’s not even close.

              But a majority definitely compares to a supermajority. You can’t just gloss over that to focus on Republicans.
