BillsFanNC Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The power of making friends with your ideological enemies Even presenting facts or arguments that directly conflict with people's core beliefs or identities can actually cause people to cling to those beliefs more tightly after they've been presented with contrary evidence. Political scientists like Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler have been studying this phenomenon for over 10 years and call it the "Backfire Effect". And when the people whose minds we desperately need to change are racists and fascists (or socialists and communists, for that matter), a strategy that actually backfires and pushes more people towards those beliefs is the last thing we need.

B-Man Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 New Segregation Signs Pop Up in Leftist Establishmentsby Megan Fox .......(no, not that one) A long, long time ago, Democrats had a lot of fun with signs. They posted them everywhere — on drinking fountains, in restaurants, in clothing stores, you name it. There was a sign for every scenario for telling people with dark skin color what to do and where to go. These Democrats, like Bull Connor, just loved their signs. Those signs made sure that "colored" people knew their place — which was far away from the white Democrats who hated them. Those same Democrats turned firehoses and dogs on the Blacks who dared confront them on their bigotry and hatred. Over time, the Democrats have successfully whitewashed their involvement with their deeply racist past. They managed to blame it on Republicans (as usual) and Republicans haven't been smart enough to fight the myth, even though the majority of the opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was overwhelmingly Democrat. But that's old news. What are the Democrats up to today? They're going back to their roots and have gotten back into the sign-posting business again. They're putting up signs in every cafe in the land to let us Deplorables know we can't sit with them. They're trying to be sneakier about it this time. The signs don't say "TRUMP SUPPORTERS GO AROUND BACK" or "DEMOCRATS ONLY." Oh no! That would be too obvious. {SNIP} Let me interpret that sign for you, you low IQ dunce. These signs are to let you know, you hateful lover of law and order and restraint and decorum, that you are not welcome here. Contrary to "all are welcome," you will notice that one group is decidedly missing. You. You think abortion is murder, so you don't "stand with women," even though half of those babies being killed are girls. You favor legal immigration, so you don't "stand with immigrants," which means allowing anyone including ISIS to just sally over the border willy nilly as they please. You believe in traditional marriage and that children should not be denied a mother and father and so you do not "stand with the LGBTQWTF" crowd, even if you have no ill will toward them. Just the fact that you believe children have a right to their biological parents makes you a "hater." You believe in biology and know that chromosomes don't change because you want them to. This makes you "anti-science." You who believe that Black Lives Matter burning down cities and hurting people resembles domestic terror activities means you don't like black people and so you can't get a latte in this establishment, you cretin! And Allah forbid you should not believe the rallying cry that Islam is a "religion of peace," even though it is drenched in the fresh blood of the infidel daily. YOU do not stand with "all" religions and so you are not welcome to do business with the super virtuous people inside this establishment. This establishment wants you to know they stand with "Our Community" and not yours. Got it?

IDBillzFan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 New Segregation Signs Pop Up in Leftist Establishments by Megan Fox .......(no, not that one) You know the unfortunate thing about this: the next time BLM and Antifa find it necessary to destroy buildings and set things on fire, the businesses with these signs in the window will get destroyed and burned just as easily as the one without it. Standing with your community sounds really nice. Until your community burns your business to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
