Interesting. The subliminal influence is something that advertisers use, right? Do opinion writers use is too, do you think?douche wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2026 9:31 pmI think you just answered your own question. You say that you see left and right opinions (some based on logic, others not so much), and some of them you agree with and some of them you don't. And that is the difference.
It's not that anyone is telling you outright what to think, it's subliminal (Inadequate to produce conscious awareness but able to evoke a response).
Because the world is FULL of people who simply take everything at face value, follow the crowd and drink the Kool-Aid.

Gil, it comes down to the most basic concept -"you are what you eat", meaning you are what you consume. You then eminate that. Ever get behind someone who eats too much garlic? YOu can smell it because it emanates from them.gil wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2026 9:59 pmThanks!

What you read and watch do the EXACT SAME thing to your brain. DOn is exhibit A. He (or she, not judging!) CONSUMES Trump outrage content. The result? It's always on the tip of his tongue, always in his thoughts. He ingests trump rage bait - then emanates it, as is evidenced by him constantly dropping (emanating) Trump into convos that have NOTHING to do with him. Seattle's political landscape has nothing to do with Trump - but yet - because DOn is so obsessed with Trump - he can't help himself. The far left is the same way - they sit around watching and reading anti-Trump rage bait - so that is what they emanate - to the same degree.
Ever notice how it's not Trump voters who are obsessed with Trump, it's the loony leftists and folks like Don. I voted for him and rarely think about him - except to shake my head in disappointment. I don't watch any US news - but I see people's reactions to them. I recognized it in myself years ago and that was when I cut it off - now I see the symptoms in others - always consumed by fear mongering (OMG HE'S NOT WEARING A MASK! OMG HE'S NOT VAXXED!" to the outraga content 'OMG TRUMP IS A NAZI!"
If you do not consume that stuff - you don't emanate it - just like the garlic scenario.
The fact that no one hated Trump until he ran for office - and then they were told to by the US media - should be the most obvious proof of my position. It should be understood that this is not in DEFENSE of trump at all - this is simply pointing out that people that sit around and consume TDS from The View, and CNN and the whackadoodles on the left - DISPLAY IT THEMSELVES. It is unavoidable. What is truly sad is they cannot seem to realize this phenomenon. There is no awareness. There are folks that think "OMG Trump is the best - he's saving the world!" but I do not know anyone like that and there is no one on this board that seems to think so - meaning the vast majority of Trump voters are moderate, we can think for ourselves, we critique Trump - he gets no free passes. But to people who consume the outrage - they'll never, ever admit Trump has done good things and they'll never acknowledge all the insane BS the media has accused him of doing - all the things that have been blatant lies. Zero accountability.
You are what you consume. Once you understand that - the world makes a lot more sense. You also understand why simpletons like Don can;t help themselves by randomly bringing up Trump - they are programmed to by what they consume.
Again - no one was doing it until 2016 - and then he took on Hilary and it all began. Just the mere fact that hasn't been acknowleged by the TDS crowd quietly proves my point. How come he wasn't racist when he was on the Apprentice? That's right, because CNN and the NY Times weren't telling you he was. Simpleton's won't do that math because it exposes them and the failed logic of their TDS. WHen you bring things like that up - they cannot defend their position - that's when they turn to "OMG, YOU'RE RACIST!" because they have to change to convo or else they have to admit they have gotten it all wrong.
Remember what I said - Don doesn't have any opinions of his own - he has OTHER people's opinions he hides behind - as is evidenced by the 98% of his posts being cut-and-pastes of OTHER PEOPLE'S WORDS.
Game, set, match.
Re: Recall Charges Filed against Seattle's Village Idiot
I have a slightly different take on the "you are what you eat" analogy. It seems that people who watch The View, for example, already have a certain leaning. People aren't watching that versus show versus FoxNews without political and cultural preferences already in place. If that is true, it's just a matter of reinforcement. So it's more like "who you are determines what you decide what to eat, and then the "future you" becomes more like who you already are."auroraave wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2026 3:00 pmGil, it comes down to the most basic concept -"you are what you eat", meaning you are what you consume.

I'd suggest a couple of things that were definitely negative about Trump prior to 2016, that I certainly took into account when I voted against him. There is the "Central Park 5" case. There is the Obama "birtherism" thing. And the housing discrimination in his family business (arguably that was more his father than the future president, but Donald Trump was a defendant in at least one lawsuit).
