Sometimes, I really do wonder if I'm on the wrong side.

There are idiots in every ideology. And they're typically the more vocal ones, despite being a minority in that ideology.

ITT: Concern trolling.

In all fairness to the guy who got offended, it was a less popular part of the declaration of independence and I'm sure seeing a tweet of that sentence out of context, 99% of people out there wouldn't know the source.

Liberal get offended at the pledge of allegiance, national anthem, and every other patriotic thing, so I don't know why they think they have a leg to stand on

That's not how you spell the "United States Constitution and Bill of Rights"

This.
Every ideological faction has its useful idiots and its intellectuals.

It may seem like the left has more and smarter intellectuals, but right wing thinking is inherently more esoteric, and so the right wing intellectuals are much lower profile.

Nah, dude, I'm just sick of shit like this. I hate having to defend the plebs.

>>132518678
That's a fair point. I don't know, I just feel so beaten down by everything lately, even if this CNN thing cheers me up a little. It just feels impossible that we'll ever be allowed to be seen as anything other than fucking idiot monsters and shit like this doesn't help.

To be fair, I actually perfectly understand it because of this. I could have seen how people though it was some smarmy, aimed attack under guise of patriotism or intellect. Problem was, they apparently tweeted the whole fucking thing and always do read the whole thing, so nah.

Twitter was a mistake. I feel like it made people think they all had an opinion that's worth a shit, and they all got uppity. I feel like I'd have more faith in humanity if Twitter never existed.

Twitter was a mistake. It makes me feel like Democracy was a mistake.

I know this feel. For me it took taking an election course in college along with daily chats with lefty friends to confirm that these people are insane, hell-bent on crashing this country with no survivors, and are never going to see anything with an unbiased view. Fuck them this side is the right side.

>>132519238
Yeah, they were tweeting it bit by bit. Pic related was the bit that was responded to. I've never read the Declaration of Independence, so I'm just not familiar with this bit, and most people aren't. Twitter is a shit place, it doesn't allow for meaningful discussion, all it's good for is meaningless quips that are good for sounding smart pieces at a time

Why didn't you link the article? Did you not read the actual tweets?

They were unabashedly using a quote from the Declaration of Independence purely to "beg the question" of our President being a tyrant.

How would you feel?

Fucking shill. Sage on Anons

>Twitter was a mistake

No, the mistake was allowing the media to use twitter as a news source. It happened very quickly and allowed the failing media to easily find stories to fit their narratives.

>>132520308
Fuck off you idiot. They tweeted the whole thing and people got stupid.

>>132519935
Like, I understand it, especially with how the media has been acting lately, but it was dumbasses jumping into something with no context.

>>132520366
Yeah that too. At least they keep digging themselves holes with it.

Yeah, the guy was a dumbass, completely. But just like it's been said before in this thread, there are idiots on both sides

>>132520987
Yeah. Just gets disheartening. It's because they control so much of the media, and so many of the idiots just trust them. I honestly feel like there's more abject idiots on their side, but ours are on full blast 24/7/365 so it feels unwinnable. But it clearly is. Thank God for CNN shooting themselves in the foot this week over fucking memes, gives me new gusto.

>that pic
Dude come on I'm about to eat dinner

>>132520685
No, no they didn't.
See >>132519935 nitwit.

What is with the giant gap between people's desire desire to spout their (your) bullshit as fact and doing actual research before doing so? Must be the head up their ass.

>>132518199
Your gut instinct is correct. Please leave immediately.

>>132521298
I wouldn't say it's unwinnable. It's simply your view on what "winning" is. If it's the complete destruction of cable news, then yeah, that's not happening. But if you consider cable news losing all trust with everyone, that's possible and it's happening right now. Don't worry about which idiots are doing what, as long as you have sufficient reason behind what you think, don't worry about it.

I don't hate liberals, I hate idiot liberals that base their opinions off what they see on the news. Same with conservatives, i hate the ones that are idiots like that guy posting without know what he was saying

Hey smartboi, it's clear they posted that segment in isolation due to the character limit of Twitter, but it was THAT single tweet that was pulled out and publicized - not the "whole" DoI.
