Why Liberals Enjoy Having “Conversations”

Their idea of a conversation:

Them: {Lie}
Us: {Issues Correction}

Them: {Generalization}
Us: {Issues Another Correction}

Them: {Hearsay}
Us: {Demands Source}

The: {Provides Biased Source}
Us: {Points That Out}

Them: {Hyperbole}
Us: {Issues Exasperated Correction}

Them: {Hypocrisy}
Us: {Points it out}

Them: {Half-truth}
Us: {Provides Context}

Them: {Omits Facts}
Us: {Brings Up the Missing Facts}

Them: “Let’s have a discussion about something else now!”
Us: “You just wasted all of my time, while you were doing something even worse!”

.

The difficult thing is, they say the same about having a conversation with us.

Scott Adams says it’s because we’re watching different movies. He wrote a great essay on it, but all I can find right now is this tweet of his. But that’s his gist.

Well, if politics is all theater, and we’re seeing different movies on the screen than liberals are, we have a few options:

    1. Keep Going “Shhh!”
    2. Get Popcorn and Enjoy The Show
    3. Invest in Popcorn Stocks
    4. Get Paid To Be in the “Projection” Booth (i.e., join the media)
    5. Yell “Fire” With No Specific Plan, Just To See What Happens
    6. Stay Home With Good Book
