Ok, wow. So go read any other article posted on this site about even smaller issues that are the result of Rep irresponsibility. You will see nothing but vehement hate spewed by you guys. Then come read the comments on this article. An issue impacting millions of low and middle class Americans that you guys were treating as a national emergency for the latter half of last year is being responded to with light-hearted joking and even one person trying to actually put the blame on anti-vaxxers. I mean, even AOC has said on record that nobody is to blame but Dems!!!!!!!!! And you STILL try to deflect.

If this doesn't open your eyes to how low you guys have let yourselves become, there is nothing left. You can't go much lower. It's either a very terrible thing to happen and you have to hold the current people in power accountable, or it's not a terrible thing. Which one is it? It's not a bad thing to have to re-evaluate your own insight and find improvements that need to be made. In fact, that's what America itself was founded on. It almost makes me believe that many of you must be completely different people outside of the anonymity that this board provides and don't understand how online comment boards are the new-age form of oppression. You are only hurting America and your own situations by doing this. Everything has a repercussion.

Intelligent people are keeping it at the same level as all of the other insurrection BLM has caused in the last year. Intelligent people are keeping it at the same level as a Liberal celebrity holding the severed head of Trump in a picture that Dems supported and even lauded. Intelligent people are keeping it at the same level as another Liberal celebrity telling Dems, "Be nice to everyone" and Dems demonized her for it.

What is it going to take for extreme Liberals like you kids on here to realize how bad your side is? You aren't any worse or better than extreme Right people. You are the exact same. No amount of ignoring reality is going to change that. You are right...Jan 6th was bad. Great job! You found something bad! Now, keep that momentum and start calling out everything else that is just as bad. And eventually you may actually see change since people on the same side have more ability to change their own than they do to change others. When the Dem party is back to normal and not this woke, controlled mob that makes up most of it today, Dems can finally start taking the high ground. Until then, you are at the same depths of lowness as Reps and there isn't anything you can say that can't be countered with reality that proves you are being hypocrites, which is the sad part.

Wow, not only is it incredibly painful to see this, it's even worse to see that Liberals are actually HAPPY that they are now siding with religious extremists. Liberals aren't even trying to distance themselves from Jihadists. And yet Liberals STILL try to claim they aren't anti-American. I mean, did any of you kids actually read this stuff before you posted? Actually, I assume you did but with the lack of critical thinking skills you probably didn't realize that this article is very intimately and clearly proving Liberals and Jihadists are after the same thing. That's how much Liberals have allowed their hate to control them.

Yet not one comment about a very real threat in which illegal immigrants are spreading it across the country. This is what is so sad. Trump makes mistakes and Dems, especially the kids on this site, go insane on him and demonize him and support looting, rioting, and killing because of him. Yet, Biden makes the same mistakes and crickets. Nothing. If Dems are so gung-ho in wanting forced vaccinations, why are they ignoring a group of people in which they CAN force vaccinations before they enter? I won't pull a Fox and say illegals are the main cause but they are a significant cause of it spreading across the country, and some of it is directly due to the legislation Biden has passed down since taking office. Before you try to remove freedoms from citizens, why are so many of you so intent on putting Americans last at the expense of people who are committing crimes? You can't argue any of that, so please just stick to posting the facts that support your cause, not demonizing or name-calling the person who is actually bringing up reality. It's OK to be wrong sometimes or to not have a good answer, what isn't OK is holding the side you don't agree with accountable for every tiny transgression but not holding your own party accountable for even significant issues. Start calling on your own party to do better. Until you clean up their mess, stop trying to clean up other messes because, if you haven't noticed in the last 4 decades (well, all of you on here are kids so I'll say "last decade" instead), partisan hate isn't fixing a damn thing...one could argue it's actually making things worse.

And? There are a lot of other people funding opposition as well. Very prominent people. Very influential people. People with college educations. People with school of hard knocks education. Dems trying to use scare tactics to make a point are just as bad as Reps using scare tactics to make a point.

"This is an example of fighting the Republicans the way the Republicans fight America."

Which proves you are hypocrites beyond any doubt. If it's bad when Reps do it, then it's bad when Dems do it. If you really think it's a bad practice and should not be done, then don't freaking do it. It's incredibly easy to understand.

Ok, so now DR Libs are accepting that there IS fraud in voting? You've been spending the last 6 months trying to get America to believe that no fraud occurs and that there should be no auditing or accountability. So which is it? See, this is where you are showing how absurd you really are. If the finger is pointed at you and your party, then it's worth fighting against it saying there is no fraud ever. But then when it's you pointing the finger, all of a sudden fraud is very real and dangerous. Wtf? Make up your minds and stop fighting problems that you believe are only problems when you are the target.

It would be FANTASTIC to get back to a country that enabled Lincoln to govern how the country should be governed AND to be as racist as he wanted to be. He made many racist statements, all of which are easily researchable. But don't go to Liberal outlets to research, they are doing their revision of history where they remove facts to support their current narrative. Lincoln was a racist who believed in the country and that a person's personal beliefs should never override the beliefs of the country so that everyone can live free and equal, to include saying whatever someone wants to say without fear of being cancelled. He would be cancelled quicker than most others if he said most of the stuff today that he said back then. But the problem today has nothing to do with Lincoln, which is where modern day Liberal logic fails them again. Lincoln did what he did to prevent government oppression of slaves. What Liberals want today is the freedom to socially oppress everyone who doesn't agree with them. They are two totally separate things. And our government is not built on ANY social responsibilities. It is only built on ensuring people aren't oppressed by the government. Technology has made social responsibility a thing, but it is a thing in which neither Reps or Dems have any clue how to govern. And neither side wants to change anything because it would require giving up platforms and both sides have proven for decades they will never give anything for the greater good.

I believe there is ample evidence out there that PROVES beyond any doubt that a majority of Dems believed 2016 was stolen. Hillary was even part of many lawsuits claiming as such across the country. Why do people believe in the big lie? Because the big lie is nothing new and Dems just like Reps have spewed the same rhetoric for decades, probably longer. The true debate to have is why are Democrats so intent on ignoring their history, even in the last 4 years, just to try to spread hate?

Introspection is poison to Dems in this era. Seriously, you bring up critical thinking but you completely ignore every single instance when Dems did the same thing? Every comment on here completely ignores Dem history. Since all of you are under 20, why would you mock a group of people about critical thinking when you won't even do research that exposes your own hypocrisy within the last few years? Creating opinions without actually being informed makes you not qualified to speak about the topic. Since it is so incredibly easy to prove that Dems do the same thing like Reps, over and over again, you are only serving to show how terribly bad you are at forming opinions that are based in reality. This isn't even hate. This is help. The better you get at actually researching, the better your opinions will be and the more the Dem party will come back to reality and start making sense again. It won't take much to be better than Reps but the important thing is that you actually take the first step.

And before you whine and cry, please do just one thing...read these links. Then come back on here and try to post an opinion that DOESN'T expose hypocrisy. Seriously, it will be a fun test of your abilities to read and comprehend. I found these all in one Google search; it took me a minute. So, while it is sad that people contest election results so often, what's even more sad is both sides are full of people who have such fragile egos and low self-esteem that they can't even look at themselves objectively for fear or seeing something imperfect that goes against their own view of themselves.

I KNEW this would come on DR. It's so very easy to see how the Democrat media and politicians keep their flock in line these days. The sad part is so many of you actually can't see how this is the exact behavior that ensures you stay devoted to that party. Do the research in the legislations they tried to pass. In one case, the name of the legislation has very little to do with what was actually in it, which is a very factual tactic they used for several of the things they passed as soon as Biden got into office. Creating a Bill that has a bunch of bad legislation in it but having 2% of it for an issue (police funding for example), and then using that 2% to claim the other side doesn't want it, is just herd grass. It's there for you to keep your head to the ground and continue eating the grass. The other 98% of the legislation could say that every person in America has to be put in chains and they aren't allowed to walk outside anymore and Dems would still try to sell it as if Reps don't want police funding, instead of actually researching and realizing that one party just doesn't want the other to chain people up and force them to stay inside.

So, anyone want to talk insurrection anymore, or is it a taboo topic on DR now that it is plainly evident that Libs are actively performing insurrectionist activities almost every week now?

The problem is, people will take their eyes off of this and the whole thing will be wittled down to nothing. And the entire reason it will happen is because Dems STILL refuse to believe that there party also makes up a chunk of the .1%ers, and they will ensure enough lobbying is done so that it doesn't pass...or that there are other loopholes in place. Just watch, there will be no more mention of this idea again after this week. Happens over and over again. It sounds good, but neither side actually makes this kind of thing happen. It's just so they can make themselves look good.

And Dems will STILL whine and cry like babies when Reps have the same thing that exposes Liberal extremism. In fact, they've already censored people at public institutions from doing this exact same thing. But, we all know how Libocrisy works these days...

It's amazing what actually holding people accountable will do. Dems rarely ever get arrested because anytime accusations come up, Dems whine and cry in the media and start trivializing the entire process and saying that elections NEVER include fraud and they are all legit. It's nice to see Reps actually letting their own be held accountable. If only Dems could start doing it instead of thinking they are perfect and ignoring all evidence.

Here is an article all of you should read. I know you will try to find ways to discredit her because she doesn't agree with your opinion, but read it anyways....

Not bad giving a soulless person a pipeline that you denied America because it's bad. Just more examples of Liberals saying one thing and doing another. That's all they are good at is face. Which is why they fit in with China so much. Any of you who know about "face" and China will actually understand that.

Both sides got what they wanted but that inherently means neither side won, so then there will be whining from both sides. All the article really illustrates is that teachers now have to think critically and come up with constructive ways to explain racial issues. That's exactly what they should be doing. But at the same time they can't start teaching blatant lies and opinions in a history class, which is what critical race theory wanted. So both sides got what they wanted. It's much better for our kids to have to find better ways to teach them about race than it is to teach them the wrong facts about race.

Or, if you are a fan of critical race theory, then we need to TRULY teach it. From ancient Egyptians enslaving Jews and their fellow people (all black), to gladiators in Rome who were white slaves (not all were white or slaves but a good majority were), to Asian dynasties not only enslaving their own people but doing inconceivable mutilation and harm to their slaves constantly, to Jews once again being enslaved in concentration camps and killed by the millions, to modern day African nations STILL practicing slavery AGAINST THEIR FELLOW BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS, to sex slaves throughout ALL of history, and everything that happened in between those eras. See, Liberals only like to separate Americans by race because that's what gets them votes. They are so low that they will even ignore every other types of slavery with just maybe one sentence on one page of a school book discussing any of it. Critical race theory is just a vote getter in much the same way trickle-down economics is. Sure, they both have some merits but the overall practice removes those merits and replaces them with opinionated absolutes disguised as facts to ensure new voters as they grow.

"My favorite part of this whole mess,
is how 'the Brave Whites of the South
and Red States' (he says in a deep and
brave sounding voice) are deathly afraid
of a minority (in this case black people)
that represent only 10% of the U.S. population..."

Libs tried to do this with gay people too. When you are making stuff up to try to censor those who don't agree with you, all you do is make it sound like someone is "afraid" of something. Any time someone says anything about gay people, you call it "homophobic". See, very few people are scared of anything that has to do with race, sexual preference, etc. But in order to keep your voters and your narrative alive, you have to try to equate their stupidity to fear...which only makes you look afraid of them. And that empowers them. So good job giving a tiny percent of the population more power and more space on the platform.

Here's the most hilarious part about Fauci. All of his emails were indicative of a person who had an opinion that changed over time based on new evidence. The Reps are making it a big deal because it's just another way for them to attack the other side.

But the hilarious part that Dems are completely ignoring and showing their hypocrisy once again is that if you excuse Fauci's flip-flopping and decisions based on opinions and not facts (which I do), then you ALSO have to excuse Trump because he did the EXACT. SAME. THING. The EXACT same thing. His opinion didn't agree with the conclusions being made at the time so he responded just like Fauci. Then, more data started coming out and we started learning more and Trump's actions and words started changing.

So, Fauci and Trump used the exact same thinking when responding to the virus. Yet, Dems are still trying to demonize Trump for his reactions and now Reps are demonizing Fauci for this reactions, which were on paper and not known before but they are now.

So, sorry Dems, but you now have to agree that Trump's handling of the virus was appropriate. If you do not, then you also have to agree that Fauci's wasn't either. Sucks to be pigeon-holed, doesn't it? :-)

Just another example of people not following the rules and then whining like babies until they get their way. At least this time it didn't involve looting, rioting and killing and the people actually followed the proper protocols to make the change, for the most part.

Wait a minute here. Are you trying to convince me that our image worsens to foreign leaders when we work to remove their reliance on us by telling them they are adults who can handle their own affairs, and that they start loving us again when we promise to give them all the money they want and tell them we will take care of their problems? Well I'll be a monkey's --------. Imagine that! It's almost akin to getting voters to have a good opinion of you if you promise to give them free money, phones, housing, etc.

I mean, do Liberals just choose to ignore logic and reality or are they really that bad at critical thinking? Oh, wait, I forgot this site is full of nothing but kids.

The problem isn't that there is bound to be some revisionist history with all things. The problem is that people so intent on one ideology are so easily swayed to believe EVERYTHING introduced by revisionism. I'm sure there is some truth to the article and I'm sure there are some embellishments, like almost every other kind of revisionism.

Posting this here as it looks like DR contributors missed it. I know DR likes to post every time someone switches their party so here you go, you are welcome....

Dems suppress "free speech" all the time but when it happens for a narrative they care about, all of a sudden it's a bad thing. The Liberal cancel culture does far worse than suppress "free speech" on almost a daily basis but Liberals don't care about that. Because they are so entitled and spoiled they think their opinion matters more than others, so people with a different opinion must be cancelled. The worst part is if you read CNN and DR together, they look exactly the same...nothing but attacks against Republicans and cancel culture rhetoric...then go to more balanced media outlets and see actual news stories, it makes one just grab more popcorn to watch Liberals continue to drag out country down at a cultural level. Reps did a bang up job making sure the economy favors the rich and now Dems have done a fantastic job making sure America's culture favors entertainment and hides actual news so Liberal egos aren't hurt.

Two obvious conclusions come from articles like this.

1. All this means is the people in the article aren't Liberals or Democrats. That's one definition of racism today.

2. This gem:

""These responses and perceptions paint a picture of a VMI where African Americans experience racism but Caucasian cadets do not or choose not to see it," according to the report."

It's possible. I won't say it isn't. But when one side gets favoritism by providing an opinion, there will undoubtedly be a higher percent of that side reporting their opinion. If a white cadet and a black cadet get punished for doing something wrong, for example, and are both told to 50 pushups...when you ask the black cadet if he feels there is racism KNOWING that if he says yes that it makes it harder to be punished, then of course he is going to say there is racism. Liberals have caused this to occur so much that now the numbers are skewed and can't be trusted in any way. Sure, there could be very real racism going on but Liberals have redefined the word to mean anything they want. As an example:

"...including a photo of Commandant of Cadets Col. William Wanovich posing at a 2017 Halloween party with cadets wearing a border wall costume labeled "Trump's Wall" and "No Cholos Allowed." In January, the school announced that Wanovich would retire at the end of the academic year."

There is nothing racist about that statement. It could have been meant as racist, sure. But it could also mean that these people are against illegal immigration and don't care about who is trying to break the law, just that people should not be able to break the law. I know Liberals don't like to hear reality but that is the case with most people who do not like illegal immigration. Sure, there are some people who do it because of racist but they are against ALL immigration of non-white people, they aren't actually against illegal immigration. Calling them cholo means nothing. I would be willing to put money down that those same people would have absolutely no issue fighting and dying for their fellow people of any race. They have no problem sharing a foxhole with any Hispanic or other race. But since Liberals have redefined racism to include what they think someone feels, it just opens the door for anyone and anything to be called racist at any time without any real evidence whatsoever.

Ok, I guess it's official. Based on the liberal comments made on this threat, it's very easy to tell that most people posting on DR are younger than 20 years old. Dems had absolutely no problems with filibusters during the different terms when they were passing them around like hotcakes. They had no problem with gerrymandering during the different terms when they were redrawing lines like art class. They had no problem with recounts and lawsuits when they lose.

Now that this evidence exists, it's very easy to see why this site has the comments it has. I guess instead of actually trying to bring logic to this place, it's just much better to understand the audience is a bunch of kids and to try to help educate you on why you are making the decisions and comments you are making instead of logically showing why your decisions and comments are either wrong, hypocritical, or partisan.

But, at least we all know the truth now. The only real advice that can be given is to, before you make a comment, stop and open a web browser and research first about your side. If it is easy to find examples where your complaint was actually embraced by your side in the past, you may want to do a little more research to ensure what you are going to post can't be easily attacked as hypocritical. Once you learn that art, then we can start helping you on how to do proper research to ensure your conclusions aren't wrong before you post them. But, such is the case, baby steps first...
