Like FOX News and Republicans, it permits a freedom not available to most people.
They can stand back, in their other reality, and criticize everything that is wrong in the world and never have to accept any responsibility.
Whether it be immigration, drugs, taxes, guns, food stamps, foreign policy, or whatever, they find a way to blame someone else, usually the liberals and the Democrats. They do not have to offer any solutions ever.
For example, they can stand back in their bubble and criticize Biden and the Democrats for the present problems with immigration and never mention the role of the last Administration or their own support or silence.
Drugs are caused by liberal policies in the inner cities, mostly with Democratic Mayors, and they have no responsibility to solve the problems because it is not part of their reality. They can find example after example of proof to validate their points. That is sufficient for them.
The same with guns. It doesn't matter how many people are killed with assault weapons. They have a right to bear arms, according to the 2nd Amendment. That is the end of the argument. They have nothing to say about the people that are killed. Their only concern is about their guns.
Those people on food stamps are dependent on government to survive and are created by liberals and Democrats. If there is hunger in our country, they have no responsibility to help feed the hungry because they live in another reality and hungry children are of no concern to them.
They can stand back and criticize others and offer no constructive ideas of their own. You can do that if you are a Republican or part of FOX News. When you live in an alternate reality, you can make shit up.

(21,739 posts)This has been a Trump tactic since his famous trek down the escalator. "Obama's nuclear arms deal was a total disaster". "Hillary is a crook". "Biden is senile". And on and on. No substantiation ever. Just blanket accusations based on his own fantasies. Now, all Repukes think that is the formula to follow.
