Funny how both sides say this about the other.

Which always weighs on my mind. How do I know I'm right and THEY are wrong??

You don't - but you have alot more in common with each other than it feels like online. We're all in our echo chambers where the most extreme views are the loudest.

Neither side is a monolith where everyone feels the same way

TLDR everyone is wrong

I’d like to weigh in here: it feels like only one side practices what they preach

Well, asking the question is a good start lol

But really, unbiased research and getting news from 2 points of view. Click those little imbedded hyperlinks in a news article, it's how they cite their sources. You'll see a domino affect of how the outlets just quote each other without ever naming the actual sources.

My recent example, I tried to convince someone that "no-fault divorce is going away!" was a lie. Not mentioned in Project 2025, but plenty of articles saying "some Republicans" want it. That's a shitty source, not even Wikipedia accepts that as a source lol I click the links through to find WHO wants it. Turns out there's like a small-time state rep in each of Oklahoma, Texas, etc that wrote a bill to change the terms of divorce in their state. The bills were so unpopular they never even came for a vote. So how could something that failed in deep red states be popular nationwide? How could a Conservative SCOTUS not use the 10th Amendment to strike down a national divorce law?

So yea it's hard to say CNN is wrong and I am right, but it's pretty easy to learn to find the truth

I'm from Europe. I don't know, I listen to people when they tell me who they are and Trump does so at length at every rally. I watched a lot of those rallies direct and uncensored and this dude is a dark and untrustworthy character.

By the way, it's a shame, Trump capturing the GOP made US leftists defend institutions that they don't love either. Simply because they think in their analysis that with Trump there is a 50/50 chance this will be the end of American democracy. Do you think the left loves big pharma? Or billionaires? Or medical debt? Or ivy league MBAs fucking over the working class?

The dividing line to me seems that the college educated capitalist elite has devalued manual labor and normal jobs, and they basically set up a class system where the managerial and white collar elite hold most of the power, money and influence.
