Will you answer the question?

No. Assaulting the heckler is expected in that venue, but assaulting the heckler is not okay. Heckling itself is also not okay. It is not okay for the media to falsely claim the heckler was assaulted over her shirt, and it is not okay to repeat that lie. Most headlines imply the shirt was the reason (“Girl wearing shirt assaulted”), even when the article itself never states that. We have people that can’t imagine an apple spinning in their head, so how can we expect them to notice that the shirt is not the cause? … Now I searched hard and did find one foreign title that directly said the assault was because of the shirt. The article stated it was because of heckling. This reminds me of people that interpret criticism for their action as if it is criticism of them fully as a person. Smart people can do dumb things and that doesn’t make the person dumb.

What would a citizen be afraid of in the past two years that is unique to Rs in charge? Afraid that illegal immigrants will be deported? Aggressive language that makes the country look bad? Able-bodied get less handouts? Less crime… Less government jobs… —— War and costs are not unique… ——- I am tired of seeing plastic women in the media. Trump women. Fear isn’t the word… just repulsed. —- Last election my niece was afraid that her rights would be taken away, cried over Project 2025, just dems creating fear by design for votes.

Could be true but lies as written. Trump rally attack over Epstein shirt draws condemnation in Youngstown It was not because of her shirt, rather because she interrupted and heckled "Not to my knowledge." Rep. Ilhan Omar gives that response when asked directly whether she is related to her former husband She said just previously that the notion she was married to her brother was an 'insane' conspiracy.

I've voted for Ds and Is before based on who best matches my views. These people I voted for either lost or won but managed along party lines regardless of their own views. The Rs have failed me with this continued war in Iran as priority over our own needs. Liars, they are all liars. It will be a long time before I forget what the Democrats did while in control. Hiring quotas in my own company and being the only white finalist in late-stage interviews Company leadership talking down to me and threatening firing over COVID vaccines Censorship of opinions and facts in the workplace and society. Conservative witch hunts Remote education for my children well beyond necessary Unchecked illegal immigration and financial benefits unavailable to our own citizens by comparison Peaceful riots Pushing lifestyles rather than letting people live quietly Most secure election in history Awakening to leftist control over media and propaganda I had to refactor code, documentation, and my verbiage to eliminate master/slave/etc computer talk due to a misplaced tyranny of words. I was afraid for my family's well-being as the sole provider... Shared views aside, aligning with the left is not currently a viable option for me. Straight Rs down the line this mid term; sadly a first. This wasn't propoganda that programmed me, it was action. Hard to believe how much life has improved for me in the past 2 years culturally with the marked change in freedom of speech, media influence, and workplace.

Blaming R for opposing accountability for pedophiles rooted on what Schumer did in Congress is propaganda. The contextual facts don’t support it, and with an understanding of cognitive dissonance, denial is difficult to justify.

There is plenty of propganda from the right here... the immigrants are eating birds comes to mind.

No I can't, but I try. Nothing to do with AI.

We can go to any political ad on the right and left... any news site and spot propoganda. https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/522-the-tyranny-of-words-by-stuart-chase-explains-why-we-are-idiots/#comment-12320 https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/5091-how-to-think-critically-about-what-the-media-is-telling-you/#comments I’m getting better at catching when I fall for it and when other people do. I was wrong about Musk’s role with Starshield and Ukraine. You were propagandized into this post: https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/10915-epstein-survivors-releasing-political-ads-against-gop The OP applies to both of us. Your later comment about others (not doublehalf) was dumb in its self-blindness.

Yes... the OP is fantastic. Universal and true.

I use calculators, Grammarly, Google, Maps, AI… tools don’t erase my ability to think. Which of my points anywhere do you not believe is mine?

You are intelligent and do not realize when you are stupid. Specifically falling for propoganda without looking for facts. This isn't a big deal. What's silly is calling out others while blind to yourself. You yourself are not perfect and superior enough to call out others on this topic, hence the self-own.

...and that’s where the post collapses from a universal observation into a self-own. ^^^

Other than misspeaking about Starlink vs Starshield, you may be right. Someone is lying. There are reports that that order came from the White house and that it came from Musk. So someone is lying.

Go ahead and help me through this one.

I know nothing about this. Was the person assaulted? Yes. This video picks up with Trump talking about somebody should not be in Columbus Ohio. The camera pans to a person being pushed, hair pulled, and held for security. The crowd shouts USA. Trump calls the person a paid protestor, fat, a man, etc. Turns out the fat man was a she. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib2KR5cDXrE Their glasses are knocked off. https://x.com/CBSNews/status/2110003582736982510 Were they injured? It is unclear but certainly appears not to have been. What does the person look like? The rally had been ongoing for awhile. Why was this person suddenly 'assaulted?' This specific confrontation happened when she stood up and heckled/interrupted while Trump was speaking about Ohio politics and Sherrod Brown. What does the t-shirt have to do with anything? Nothing. She was already wearing the shirt for awhile and not assaulted. She was assaulted once she became a disturbance... Asked by a TMZ reporter why she had chosen to protest, the person said: “F*** Donald Trump.” Why would the news call out the t-shirt slogan? For clicks. What is the dumbest thing about the protestor? a) They attended a Trump rally b) Their physical appearance and outfits communicated that they have mental issues c) They protest about 'Release the Epstein Files' to the president that actually did rather than the president that did not. Why is Trump an asshole? Because that is who he is, and because of dumbass protestors like this.

What’s funny is that RV treats “wingers” like a derogatory 'right' term when it refers to either side and isn’t insulting. Unlike his consistent use of “scum,” which he was already doing long before Offthemat started using “Dimocrax.” There is no need to call a democrat “dim.” “Democrat” already contains a “rat” and rhymes with bureaucrat. For a while now, the term Democrat on its own has enough negative baggage that it’s time for a new euphemism. It’s sad, really, that big D has become a little d with age. It is also humerous to insult someone by calling them MAGA. Being against making America Greater is the biggest self-own. A bunch of blowhards asking "When was America Great?"

I want a roadster.

Are you willing to learn in this example? How to think critically. Be skeptical about the conclusion that those on the right don't want pedos held to account. Let's ask basic questions and find facts. --- What is the claim in the ads? Republican senators “voted to block the release of the Epstein files" implying they are protecting traffickers. You can watch the ads from this article: https://www.ms.now/news/epstein-survivors-political-ad-2026-kansas-senate-marshall-mississippi-hyde-smith When did Republican senators “vote to block the release of the Epstein files?" On September 10th, 2025, Senate Republicans (51–49) voted to table (kill) Sen. Chuck Schumer’s amendment (S.Amdt. 3849 to the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, S. 2296). The amendment would have directed the Attorney General to publicly release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Why did Republican senators “vote to block the release of the Epstein files?" Majority Leader John Thune called Schumer’s surprise maneuver a “political stunt” and a “hostile act.” GOP sources described it as injecting politics into bipartisan NDAA negotiations that were underway. Sen. Mike Rounds said, “This is not the right way to do it.” Sen. Markwayne Mullin called it “political theater.” Multiple senators argued the Epstein provision did not belong on the must-pass annual defense policy bill. Attaching it risked complicating or delaying the NDAA, which typically enjoys broad bipartisan support. Sen. Susan Collins (who chairs the Appropriations Committee) noted that a similar Epstein transparency provision had already been approved unanimously in the Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) funding bill she oversees. She said Democrats had blocked that package from advancing, and Schumer’s NDAA amendment was therefore unnecessary messaging. She later supported the standalone Epstein Files Transparency Act. Sen. Thom Tillis and others described their “yea” vote on tabling the ammendment as purely procedural, noting the amendment would likely have been stripped later anyway, and that they supported release by other means. Was there a standalone Epstein Files Transparency Act? Yes. It was bipartisian. It passed 427-1 in the house, unanimous consent in the senate, and signed into law by Trump. Did the Epstein Files Transparency Act become law before the NDAA? Yes. EFTA on November 19th came before the NDAA on December 18th. Is this propoganda? Yes. The ads framing “anyone on the right does not align with holding pedophiles accountable” misleads by selective framing and omission.

Yea probably similar to a drone. Awesome demo.

No we will not

These political campaigns somehow have my mobile number and won’t stop texting and calling. I reply STOP and report them as spam, and a different number starts up. STOP!

Democrats https://democrats.org/what-were-fighting-for/ “Democrats believe that every American deserves a fair shot at the American dream.” Does it sound good: Yes. This conservative agrees. Is it spin: Yes. It implies Democrats uniquely deliver this. Is it bad: Yes. It justifies almost any government expansion. The entirity of the page is about wealth differences being evidence of injustice. “Our agenda is focused on lowering costs, improving healthcare, creating jobs, ending corruption, and protecting our democracy. We want all Americans to be able to live healthy, safe, and secure lives." Does it sound good: Yes. This conservative agrees. Is it spin: Yes. It presents Democrats as the party of ordinary people and Republicans as the party of the rich. Totally ignores that working-class voters moved right... and that the left has "rich" "educated" people. Is it bad: Yes. Tribal framing. I will stop here... it just continues to repeat the same format of saying something that everyone can agree on before spinning and polarizing. GOP does the same thing. Very dumb. What matters to me is not what Democrats say, rather its what they do... which is bring us riots and wokeness and crime...

All I see is a flood of attack ads from candidates with questionable morals, hoping to get elected by telling me how terrible the other side is. And they personally approve every one of those ads.
