He told them that they had won the election, but that it was being stolen at the Capitol right now. That is perfectly normal and nothing wrong with any of it. He told them to go peacefully protest. Bernie Sanders told people that the republicans were deliberately killing people with their policy on the healthcare bill at the time. One of his supporters went and got a gun and shot up a bunch of republican congressmen and politicians at a baseball game, and specifically quoted Bernie and his statements as the reason why he did it. Strangely, I never hear any democrats talking about how Bernie Sanders LED an insurrection. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Do we focus on the average day.. where nothing happens or that one time when it was abnormally cold, hot, rainy, snowy, etc? Research shows that we irrationally focus on that one day out of 3650 (10 years) as an example. Quote

impartialobserver Posted June 26, 2024 Report Posted June 26, 2024 Just now, CdnFox said: Of course. as you say, human nature to focus on the unusual rather than the usual and so as a result.. the media in an effort to get clicks, ratings, and revenues.. focuses on the unusual. If their story was that thousands stood there, yelled, screamed, but mostly occupied space, who reads this? Additionally, folks crave style over substance. So they focus on the unusual and add dramatic flair.. this gets you ratings. ESPN radio did a test study once. For 3 days.. the hosts did nothing but break down games, stats, etc. No opinions. X player rushed for 105 yards, 45 of which was on 2nd down, and so on. Ratings went down 85%. The next 3 days.. they did nothing but "hot takes". Lots of opinions, predictions, social commentary.. Ratings more than recovered. Quote

It depends on the CONTEXT of "fighting." If you're talking to an armed mob wearing body armor and invoke drastic illegal repercussions as reasons to fight, it is entirely clear that physical violence is the subject. Quote

Context matters. How does that context matter? The folks Trump was talking to were at a peaceful rally. They were not a mob, nor "armed" anymore than you could presume about anyone anywhere else.

impartialobserver Posted June 28, 2024 Report Posted June 28, 2024 Politicians use words such as fight, battle, conflict, war. etc. but do not actually want their supporters to engage in a violent, armed conflict. It is also interesting how politicos decide when to be so literal and when not be. Its like they are cherry picking.. nahh.. that can't be. 2 Quote
