Nothing scares Kadizzle like a conversation with what appear to be normal people about Republican politics. Last night Kadizzle had a long conversation with a gay guy, and a straight guy. Both were Trumpers. Kadizzle could not get it in his head how a gay person could be a Trumper. Something that came up in the conversation was police killing of black men. The straight guy said no more black people were killed by police than white people on a per capita basis. Just a few minutes ago Kadizzle checked the statistics. Mr. Straight was wrong. Per capita the shooting rate of black men is twice that of white men.
Kadizzle asked Mr. Straight if he read the New York Times. As every Republican does, he dismissed the NYT, and went on to name other news sources that were unreliable. This happens every time Kadizzle confronts a Trumper with facts. Any fact that contradicts their version of reality is fake news.
Not long into a conversation with a Republican you start to hear the Fox News version of reality come out. Trump said if he was elected he would reveal his taxes. Of course he never did. Ask any Republican about this an you will get the spin.
A favorite of Trumpers is Hunter Biden. Mr. Straight had a long spin on Hunter. Kadizzle asked Mr. Straight if he knew about Jared Kushner's multi billion dollar deal with the Arabs. Mr. Straight said he never heard of it. This pretty clearly shows Mr. Straight listens to nothing by right wing news.
Religion was the original game where you could believe anything regardless of how absurd. Now, that religious nonsense has spilled into politics. " If you believe it, its true", reality is what you chose it to be.
Politics is the new religion. If you want to look at an explosive mix, just take Christianity and Trump voters. How can you get the two to mix. No person who even remotely subscribed to the teachings of Christ could vote for Trump, yet they do. The same mind that lets them part the Red Sea, walk on water, and rise from the dead is totally capable of believing the 30,000 lies of Donald Trump.
