Here is a fun one with leftists, but for different reasons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIOePg4K0vI
But at the end of the day, this may help. It's a little more scholarly and less biased than the slate article: https://www.businessinsider.com/psyc...elf-control-10

Lots of gullible idiots, like the OP, who are SO willing to believe garbage like this, and even willing to spread it, hoping, desperately, to validate their hateful views.
Sad, but it won't work on those who understand the threat, and read widely from legitimate sources to stay well informed.

He has alien DNA?
He's pretty clearly, like his hero Donny, not altogether there...

It seems funny to me how some people here always mention "news from credible sources". What's considered a credible source? Yeah I know the diagram chicks likes to post but who the hell really knows the people that came up with that diagram. Let's all remember that there are a lot countries that limit access to any news that only states that the government is doing a good job and squash anyone that goes against it. Really why does anyone ENTIRELY believe anything they are reading or hearing?

You sound confused and cornfuzzled, Waggs. That's exactly where conservative media wants you to be. Trust me, Faux News isn't news of any sort. It's straight up propaganda. I'm probably pissing into the wind here but there's a reason that the Washington Post and the N.Y.Times have been awarded Pulitzer after Pulitzer.

Yes, you really can’t get more accurate, in depth reporting than NYT and WaPo. Reich-wingers despise them because they report the facts, which is their mission.
