You seem like you're a expert on interactions and human dynamics...LOL 

I am actually. I am a realist and can tell through behaviors what the motivations are. 

Humans are remarkably uncomplicated creatures. Once you know their needs and nature, predictive behavior is easy! 

Simple people always exhibit simple behaviors and it's always materialistic or selfish. Educated, insightful, people are almost altruistic, because they recognize that they are part of a big group that only works with cooperation and social rules. You can't convince perceptive people with force, only simple people actually respond to force because they are unable through inability to plan adequately because of minimal intellectual ability. They are however instinctively aggressive and recognize  those dynamics. 

It's the bullying syndrome! If republicans were able to grasp complex thoughts, they would never incentivize women with anti abortion regs or Hispanics, Asians, Blacks LGBTQ etc, with racist commentary. They appeal to white men primarily who are afraid of changing the power structure, because they are inadequate and impotent!

I honestly don't know why old white guys are so convinced that masculinity is connected with money and power and actually don't realize that they are being played by the women that they are so pitifully trying to impress! And the women they are trying to impress, is scoping out the gardener with the muscles! 

It's so, so, very, sad! Imagine your self esteem is wrapped up in projection of an image only you can see, when you are an emperor with no clothes! ??

Now see, if at all, you republicans can unpack this! 

Is this socialism? Is this good PR or simply people in a country that might be altruistic enough to empathize?

Maybe they just want the athletes?  If they are truly that empathetic and altruistic, why haven't they opened their borders and allowed everyone in that is trying to relocate?

So obviously you haven't a clue? 

Don't worry, it's not just republicans. You have extremist left wingers like communists etc and angry liberals. Soppy Dems, all in the same boat! 

Do you guys play any chess and do you play just moves or the board? I play conventional tactics if I need to win, but if I need to enjoy myself, I always step back and look at the board and play the player. It quickly emerges that there are some players who are very unconventional and doesn't play strategy, but are really good at just playing you reactively! 

Big picture, Chare!

I appreciate that you understand that, but I even doubt that the one's spewing out that he said this understand that and if they do, someone else is going to say "Biden said....." and it's going to believed that he actually said that.

 But that still might be a fair interpretation.   I do think that his administration was only responding to the claim of violence by the NSBA which I can appreciate, rather than blowing them off.  I do think his administration should have rebuked those claims as baseless after investigating it.

But anyway, using this as an example of liberal hypocrisy really isn't a good example.  It was the NSBA not wanting to deal with protests at their meetings and I'm not sure this is a liberal agenda.  

I'd like to not pay attention to the nastiness going on a school boards lately but since part of their agenda is to stop inclusiveness, including the LGBTQ standpoint, I'm starting to take notice. 

But yes, liberals tend to make a big deal out of certain things and not others.   What is scandalous to the left get's a ho hum from the right and visa versa.  

Daily Wire for example has an article about Hunter Biden on their website today.  I understand conservatives think this is important but liberals are ignoring it.  

We love to point out each other's hypocrisy 

I agree with everything you said!! And gave you a like. Thank you for a thoughtful respectable comment.

Big picture, Chare! 

So, rather than coming here and posting the same rambling tripe, why don't you explain what exactly we should have taken from the article you posted.

Are they Michigan Republicans, political conservatives or Trump supporters? Some of them seem to have consumed a large quantity of propaganda...they literally believe that Trump didn't lose his last election.  How do we re-orient people to reality when they are so committed to and personally invested in lies?

I don't know.  On my phone, the video showed as artifact, and all I heard was static.  How to classify these individuals has always been difficult for me, as many of them seem to definitely drunk the coolaide.

This I find most concerning.  I work with a nurse, one who I have always thought fairly intelligent, whoe is convinced that the election was stolen.

This widespread belief in that dangerous propaganda is evidence of the ongoing and even growing threat to our democratic status.  Everyday GOP voters are willing to ignore attacks on our republic because they have believed lies.  That's exactly what the despots expect and count on.  That reliance upon lies and propaganda to subvert democracy is exactly how fascists seize power.

I'm not sure, but you seem to describe yourself as a black woman? Correct me if wrong. 

You don't seem to realize that old white men and upcoming white men in this country have arranged society to suit their needs and no one else's. Even white women are at a disadvantage. Every aspect of this society is arranged to make life easier for white men. And I should know. I understand my privilege. 

However, I believe in competition. Evolution. I'm actually not even sure if I am empathetic re other people struggling, because I actually seem to only experience emotions re children and women. But, I believe in human rights and equality. There's also respect for another person. 

Therefore, just using those principles, I believe in a fair and equal society. Let the best, more prepared person progress without extra help or unfairness. This leads to imbalance and the French revolution syndrome. So it's beholden upon us to keep people happy or we may loss our heads! 

Happy working people living in a fair system means less crime, more taxes and better benefits. That's the beauty of socialism! Allow capitalists to run alongside, but tax them equally and do not allow them to dictate or manipulate the system and laws. Because in reality, the most successful are generally sociopathic and needs regulation! They have little control of their desires and they are selfish. Betterment of society is not on their lists unless it's beneficial to them. They are also less educated and therefore less likely have the insight to know what's best for society. They can build things for a profit but need guidance and control or they will destroy us! 

My father is white (not angry or racist or a supremacists) Vietnam veteran , my mother was half black half indigenous. I look more like her. 

I feel if we allow racist words act etc, to white men now it will most definitely be another race next. Racism should never be condoned for any reason at anytime. Even to white people!!
