Source of Confusion

AITOOW can offer guidance to the millions of liberals who are soon to become suicidal with another Democrat loss in the Presidential election. The reason "your" world in no way comports to the "real" world is that like most people you choose to surround yourself with like minded people. No big difference there. The difference is in how you act. You are a bunch of opinionated loud mouths. You misinterpret this cacophony as unanimity of opinion when in fact it is merely a result of good manners on the other side. You see they don't want to be drawn into a verbal war with you so they just tune you out or humor you. You misinterpret this as agreement and then are bewildered when the election is not the landslide you anticipated. I hope this elucidates what must be a frustrating conundrum. Then again if you weren't always trying to shout down someone you could actually listen to their viewpoint or (brace yourself) reflect on the state of things. Not in order to change your opinion but rather to gauge its popularity. But, maybe you know the answer to that already and can't accept it.
