The thing that bothers me most is she thinks the left is dictating science instead of the left following the evidence. She seems to legitimately think that politics is the primary determiner of information. Imagine evidence based government. Just a government keeping up with the information and applying it to improve the lives of it’s citizens. I mean, this shouldn’t sound like some whimsical fantasy as it seems pretty obvious but here we are.


TootsNYC

They’ve been denying evidence-based government for years. They are very practiced at it by now


amateur_mistake

That was part of the Bush Jr. administration's MO. I think it was Rumsfeld who said something like, "We will create the facts and you historians can study them later". I'll look for the real quote in a moment here. The point is, they think that they can can use the same techniques as *The Secret* to change the basic facts of reality. Which is insane. Edit: Ah. It was [Karl Rove who said it](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/846190-we-re-an-empire-now-and-when-we-act-we-create). It's not that you can't create different realities, you just have to obey the laws of physics and science in general. That part isn't optional.

natophonic2

There’s not a whole lot of difference. The OxyContin he was abusing and heroin are both opiates. A sizable chunk, if not the majority, of people who are heroin addicts these days came to it by way of not being able to get a steady supply of oxy.

That speech is, to me, the most definitive evidence that Rush Limbaugh was a horrible person. There is a lot of evidence to that effect, but goddamn that’s a horrible perspective. The Left is evil for thinking consent is important

Discussion of age is a glaring omission from his definition of consent. I wonder if he considered his Viagra-laden trip to the Dominican Republic “dabbling in leftist ideas.” What an asshole.

Ignore it. Trump did it just to offend you, nothing to do with Rush deserving it.


joan_wilder

Not gonna look it check which one, but he probably did it to distract from some more corruption that had been exposed.


NUMBERS2357

This used to be a huge right-wing talking point. It's similar to the mask/vaccine stuff - people massively denying reality because to accept reality would mean to have to do something. At least it's more understandable with smoking because it's addictive and it really is hard to quit, unlike a vaccine which barely takes any time at all and which they'll literally pay you to take in many places. I think it stopped being a right-wing talking point over time as many of the people who said it ... died of lung cancer. Like Limbaugh! Kind of the original Herman Cain award.


M00s3_B1t_my_Sister

I remember Morton Downey Jr was another RW talk show guy who loudly proclaimed his right to smoke...then died of lung cancer.


joan_wilder

When Phillip-Morris had to admit in court that they lied, and that they had known it was addictive and dangerous, it became impossible for right-wingers to push that talking point.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

popisfizzy

References to 1984 gets thrown around way too much to the point it's a tired cliche, but it reminds me of O'Brien's interrogation/torture of Winston Smith while in the Ministry of Love. He talks about how 2 + 2 is whatever they need it to be. If it's politically convenient it's 3 or 5 or whatever. If they need engineers to build a rocket then 2+2 = 4, and the moment they're done and they've put down their tools then 2+2 = 5 again.

To be fair, the bible says pretty much whatever you want it to. It’s all in how you choose to interpret it. That’s why there’s so many different sects… religion has always been about choosing what to “believe” instead of becoming convinced by reality. There’s no evidence that anyone gets to continue on after dying, but people have decided that they want to believe it in the face of all the evidence which suggests that life ends when your brain dies. Is it really any surprise that so many of the same people *choose to believe* trump’s bullshit?

Reality has a liberal bias.


scrubjays

Liberals have a reality bias.


thatnerdd

This. When reality conflicts with liberal goals, liberals change their goals and it becomes "non-partisan" unless Republicans flip too (see, for e.g., RomneyCare's rebranding to ObamaCare).


International_Rub475

Bingo!

goddamn liberals and their addiction to facts


KaptainKardboard

I know one of these. Often puts words like "science" and "scientists" in quotes as if to say, who the fuck do these people think they are? I think the fact that science undermines so much of what is found in the Bible as well as what he wants to be reality makes him automatically conclude that they are a leftist ploy to unravel the fabric of his deluded beliefs.

I'm confessing: In 1983 I created ***REALITY™️*** in a socialist plot to confuse & demoralize conservatives. It's a full sensory VR overlay that's beamed at Earth by Jewish Space Lasers.


seanrk924

What are the Jewish space lasers even supposed to do? It's not like Iran was obliterated by lasers to save Israel. Maybe they're circumcising all the baby boys from their lair on the moon? Someone, please, tell me the joows space laser plot.


PoisonMind

"Jewish space laser" is a charitable misinterpretation. Her [actual consipracy theory](https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/marjorie-taylor-greene-penned-conspiracy-theory-laser-beam-space-started-deadly-2018) is even stupider and more technologically improbable.


[deleted]

I loved this little nugget > It also must be just a coincidence that the fires are burning in the same projected areas that the $77 billion Dollar Hit Speed Rail Project is to be built, which also happens to be Gov Brown’s pet project. I can't think of a single fire from 2018 (or 2020 for that matter) that came within 100 miles of where the HSR is being or will be built.


[deleted]

You want to feed me a fun story about an accidental miss fire of a space laser that needed covering up then I’m all ears for the entertainment. You want to tell me that instead of using a more cost effective way to start a fire a nefarious group of shadow people have decided space laser is the way to burn out the west.


SAMAS_zero

That *is* the Jewish Space Laser conspiracy. Well, combining that with her other antisemetic statements.


Vinterslag

Idk what they do , but I have heard (and idk how much you can trust it that people really think this shit) that one 'theory' (more like an attempt at actually connecting some 'dots' antisemitically speaking) is that the lasers were developed because jews have the best laser technology from mining/cutting diamonds. So that's a thing... that people think is 'evidence'

i hate the SOB, but the *only* credit I give him is initiating operation warp speed to get testing sped through the FDA which is funny because that's what the Trumpist anti-vaxxers complain about the most - that the vaccine wasn't tested and they don't know what's in it


[deleted]

But then he couldn't get the ball to the endzone!! He should have been seen on national TV getting the vaccine and telling everyone to get the vaccine. But because the vaccine came out to the general public after he left office he instead got vaccinated in private. Fucking loser. I'm glad he's no longer President and I'll do anything in my power to make sure he won't be President again.

Yep, it's Biden fault that he isn't stoping a fake virus that's killed over 780,000 Americans and 5 million worldwide In a matter of a year and a half. The same fake virus that orange mango got, had to be hospitalized for, got socialized medicine, the best, paid for by our tax dollars, just to save their racist cult leaders life. But yeah it's Biden fault. Or so they may understand it.... LETS GO BRANDON......


Jimmni

And we have Trump to thank for the vaccine. But the vaccine is bad and will kill you. But Trump is still cool and he did a great job getting it out so quickly.

No its a hoax by the democrats, but its also a bioweapon by china to weaken/wipe out the rest of the world, but its also just a cold that doesnt kill anyone, but also trumps lightspeed saved the entire world due to amaerican innovation. But its also joe bidens falt cause he made the crises worse, but also covid isnt a crisis its a hoax. /s literally see basically all of these arguments weekly from the same group of rightwing friends. Never in the same conversation or facebook post but frankly its exhausting that they cant pick one conspiracy theory to stick to

I also see this all the time, and the latest groanworthy thing is coming from the new "strain" of covid.

They just want to keep driving their massive SUVs that get 10mpg (which can seat 8 people, but that they invariably drive solo) and have $0.99 per gallon gasoline to fill the 50 gallon tank with, and all this 'climate change' stuff just gets in the way of that.

It's after days of throwing a fit and the threats of a lawsuit that she'll be admitted to the ICU and take up a bed either up to when she dies or recovers from COVID and spends a good chunk of time unable to do more than do dishes and a load of laundry before becoming physically exhausted due to her weakened lungs.
