It depends on what links you choose to click on. Some people's idea of research is finding information that coincides with their beliefs. Unfortunately, that is often misleading right-wing sites.

I have a buddy who is into all sorts of CT. He also gets his info from the internet but he doesn’t vote, fortunately. I looked at a couple video clips he sent, briefly. The stuff he believes amazes me and I avoid going into any detail with him.

This morning was, the Demoncrats tried to put a law into the corona relief package to make saying the pledge of allegiance to the flag illegal and fine people 20 thousand dollars for saying it. Another one was that the Obama administration sold migrant kids to sex traffickers. I am afraid she has gone off the deep end because she believes this crap and much worse and posts it constantly. I gave up responding to her cause get this, she thinks I am brainwashed by the evil Democrats and she fears for my everlasting soul. Ahhhhh.

To some magazine that professes that we are being manipulated by the MSM about Covid. The message was short but I got the idea. I’m sure there’s much more than that in the magazine. She had sent me some old pictures a week before and I’ve been meaning to call her and thank her for those but now I’m afraid to call her. I’ve managed to keep any conversations away from politics. I know she’s a trumper, she was a card carrying Tea Partier. I think I’ll just write her a letter thanking her for the pics, that’ll keep things from going off the rails. There is no way you can get thru to those types. She’s in her seventies, her husband in his eighties, and both would be in bad shape if they got Covid.

you aren't an expert by any means, and just because you 'researched' everything, that all is true and so forth. This is the height of arrogance and ignorance all rolled into one. Like that old saying that is still very true, the more you learn, the less you know.

I've been in IT since 1975, and so went through multiple generations of hardware/software, like quite a few of us have here on DU. Amazing the sheer amount of changes in several decades, technology-wise, and thus, like a lot of us, when someone claims to know stuff because of her vast 'research', I laugh.

Something tells me that this lady is very biased and very opinionated, and obviously viewed her 'facts' from only one side, while ignoring the other less desirable facts she discovered.

What a waste of time to talk to such a person (another trump supporter), was she some random person walking by on the street who happened to be just there for the TV cameras? Where are the Biden supporters on camera supporting Mr. Biden?

I am sick and tired of the whining, moaning, ranting, bitching, and raving that everyone of these trump supporters seem to sprout at every opportunity when allowed to vent.
