At Yale, we conducted an experiment to turn conservatives into liberals

    I believe I understand what your point is. Do you?

    You side with the group who have been convinced people who support the current President can't think for themselves.

    Think about that conclusion.

    The President's election win was a shock to the "system". It didn't follow conventional lines. Despite herculean efforts by the media, and by the Republican Party itself, people weren't persuaded to follow the "company" line.

    Do you think that displays independent thought?

    If liberals don't live in fear, then why are they so worried about Trump?????

    I'd say teaching impressionable kids in schools and universities across the nation fake hateful rhetoric against conservatives while not allowing them to respond in kind is not only worrisome but Marxist actually and therefore, downright scary. Our young people are being brainwashed and those who try to fight against it are being ostracised and bullied by their peers. So not only are they for all intents and purposes being stripped of their 1st amendment rights by teachers and professors who they've been taught to believe, they've become afraid to speak up knowing it might turn downright physical.

    But thank goodness there are still some bright people like Ben Shapiro and Anne Coulter out there who are determined to expose those so called educational systems for what they really are.

    So if paranoid is what I am because I have a brain, knowledge about what's happening, and a fair amount of common sense, then yup, guess you're right.

    This thread indicates that Conservatives tend to discuss the issues, while Liberals tend to discuss the posters.

    Counterpoint: I think that capitalism is an all-powerful god of death and decay, the ultimate combination of paranoia and communism

    So, liberals do live in fear.

    Which makes this stupid study worthless.

    No. It's the con that did it. All the bragging about how wonderful he is and that he "knows more than the generals" and Is the only
    person who can solve America's issues. This country's democracy is on the balls of its ass under this guy. He is divisive and has no empathy or compassion for those less fortunate than us. He gives his wealthy cohorts
    a huge tax reduction at the expense of the working middle class, does not keep his promise of better, cheaper healthcare, does
    nothing for our bankrupt Social security and Medicaid institutions as he promised. The only thing he is an expert at is the con.
    Is he going to NK without discussing with our experts? Is he sending a delegation to lay the groundwork? Probably not, because
    he doesn't confer with or listen to anybody. He has slashed environmental regulations so that big business can take advantage to make money. He is slapping tariffs on imported products without conferring with experts on the subject and accepts advice from nobody.
    He is behaving like the autocrat that he is. That campaign speech last night was moronic.

    Not all liberals live "in Fear." It is the Trump base who should fear as he leaves them out in the cold.

    They needed a 'study' to change conservatives to liberal because their weak ass arguments can't, their ideology doesn't stand to scrutiny, and so they are left with brainwashing and other voodoo science. Liberals are pathetic...

    The significance is only in that it is yet another thing that shows just how bigoted and arrogant these pseudo-intellectual elitists are.

    Yale was, keyword was, a great university; that day has passed.

    Check these out: https://www.google.com/search?q=cam...rome..69i57.1720j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

    Its become little more than a bastion of radical leftist hate, suppression of dissent, repression of free speech, and oppression of free thinking.

    If one's degree says Yale and the date on it 2010 hence, then they are in possession of a very expensive piece of toilet paper and this "study" is a reflection of that.

    No scientifically inclined person would generate such incredibly subjective dribble, with such inadequate data collection, if they were in possession of an degree of significance.

    We were happy to see a good jobs report on Friday, from 313,000 new jobs to the labor force participation rate climbing back to the 63%. I was really pleased with the black and Hispanic unemployment rates. According to news reports, "[a]t 4.9 percent in February, Hispanic unemployment is just a tenth of a percentage point above the historic low." And that's how you turn Hispanics into Trump Voters.

    Zogby poll showed Hispanic support for Trump at 39%, Hispanic support for President Trump is closely related to job growth.

    Looking ahead to 2020, President Trump around 40% with Hispanics means he carries New Mexico and Nevada, as President Bush did in 2004.

    "La economía" re-elects President Trump.

    35 States - GOP
    15 States - Dem

    Please please Mr. soldier man...save me from the really scary man with a long beard who wears a diaper on his head !!!

    Princeton University is another example of a liberal college. However, many of its graduates don't continue to hold the liberal line as they
    arrive in the real world and experience the experience. Many Princeton graduates are Republican. Young people are liberal in general and change as they grow unless they grow up in a Trump base household and are never exposed to other ways of thinking.

    Sheeples live in fear of immigrants and Muslims and the Dark Government taking their penis substitutes (guns).
    Rational people are concerned about a petty self aggrandizing egomaniac running (destroying) the Country.

    You obviously don't understand the difference.

    Sheeple live in fear of Freedom, liberty, guns, Christians, bibles, white people, work, accountability, common sense, tax cuts, and not being able to kill their unborn babies.

    Rational people are concerned about Communists, Marxists, Socialists, Democrats, and unwashed hippies in positions of power.

    You obviously don't understand the difference.
