    You apply that standard evenly? If so, I have some great policy and reality-oriented questions to fucking ask you

    My entire point is that no one can be entirely objective, but I try to be, so sure, “fucking” ask me anything.

    This is literally the same Boomer shit that dribbles out of right-wing Facebook chuds. Like, word for fucking word.

    I seem to recall a pretty big guy in the conservative circle make it pretty big off the whole “facts don’t care about your feelings” argument that you’re peddling here… I’m blanking on his name.

    The reality is that millions of people are feeling more pessimistic about the future than ever. Work backward from that. Do you think that they’re all part of some conspiracy against you or that maybe, just maybe, these feelings are real, are justified, and that there’s some sort of gap in the data collection process that’s accounting for the discrepancy.

    You are not a member of the intelligentsia, shepherding the uneducated prolies towards something they don’t know they want; people aren’t dumb. If things were actually as good as the current administration says they are, every single poll of the past four years wouldn’t show such a large discrepancy between real and perceived conditions.
