Kremlin-backed media is parroting Trump’s attacks on the Bidens and pushing his fantasies of a deep state coup
The particulars of the Ukraine scandal make a natural fit for the Kremlin’s playbook for destabilizing western democracies: sowing distrust of authority and turning corruption into a “both sides” problem, encouraging citizens to resign themselves to grift and propaganda. That Russian media has jumped on stories that paint the scandal as a deep state coup — a theory that Trump himself has dangerously expounded during the Mueller investigation — is predictable.

Why can't you just accept that Dems are just as dirty as the GOP, and probably dirtier than Trump? - SIGNY
Not that the following story will change your mind, but I do have many decades of experience with many, many Trump voters and I have come to conclusions about them, conclusions they would feel are unfair if they knew. On with the story (where you substitute the word "GOP" for cult and "Trump" for UFO. You will get the idea as you read):
When you're evaluating persuasive arguments about something strange, there are two perspectives you can choose, the inside one or the outside one.
Say that some people show up at your front door one day wearing funny robes, asking you if you will join their movement. They believe that a UFO is going to visit Earth two years from now, and it is our task to prepare humanity for the Great Upbeaming.
The inside view requires you to engage with these arguments on their merits. You ask your visitors how they learned about the UFO, why they think it's coming to get us—all the normal questions a skeptic would ask in this situation.
Imagine you talk to them for an hour, and come away utterly persuaded. They make an ironclad case that the UFO is coming, that humanity needs to be prepared, and you have never believed something as hard in your life as you now believe in the importance of preparing humanity for this great event.
But the outside view tells you something different. These people are wearing funny robes and beads, they live in a remote compound, and they speak in unison in a really creepy way. Even though their arguments are irrefutable, everything in your experience tells you you're dealing with a cult.
Of course, they have a brilliant argument for why you should ignore those instincts, but that's the inside view talking.
The outside view doesn't care about content, it sees the form and the context, and it doesn't look good.
So what you're saying is ...
A man comes to your door when you're sick. He explains that illnesses are caused by little animals that are so tiny you can't even see them. He makes a complete but confusing case that he has made these invisible creatures visible by using something called a "lens" and bending something called "light rays". He explains that he can kill these invisble animals in your body with a medicine.
Your shaman comes to the door and tells you this man is crazy, and that you need the holy smoke to be one with the gods again, and reverse the curse that has been put on you.
What do you do?

Dear daughter and I happened to be following an Amazon Prime van. She noticed a few gizmos over the back doors of the van; I realized they were a small camera and a small floodlight. The camera had a 360 lens. I explained to dear daughter that the camera could see and record the delivery person all the way from the van's back door to the customer's front door. It would prevent customers from claiming that a package had never been delivered. It would also prevent employees from stealing. I explained that Amazon pays its employees like shit and treats them like shit, and therefore some employees might seek to boost their pay with theft.
It's too bad that the camera system can't stop porch pirates. Theft has become rampant in our neighborhood, with people coming in from other neighborhoods to steal from porches, cars, and houses. Sunce this is CA, and most of these people are Hispanic, it's unlikely that they're Trump supporters.
Jeez, get a grip.

Why wont the trolls accept the fact that defending against a wrong doesn't work, if you don't address the facts as they exist, instead of pointing to other wrongs committed by others. Wrong doings that in most cases is nothing more than propaganda.
I actually don't need trolls to answer the question, because it too will be bullshit and I won't be reading it. Instead just let me say, shoo troll.

Better not tell him he's gonna have the shittiest retirement on Earth, CC.
He knows "WAAAY" more, dude. With those credentials you might be in real trouble...
Guessing when he retires he'll still be trying to fix his porch.

SECOND, if you haven't figured out my point, all you're saying is that when confronted with a narrative with compelling internal logic, but that is at odds with the narrative that you've already learned (which has its own internal logic), you reject the unfamiliar in favor of the familiar. That's all that you mean by "inside" (when you follow the logic of the other narrative) versus "outside" (when you stick with the narrative that you're familiar with. Even if you don't explicitly know what your internal logic is, it generates a "gut feeling".)
Limiting yourself to either reaction is pretty silly. The question is HOW DO YOU HANDLE FUNDAMENTALLY NEW INFORMATION?
DO you handle new information?
We are taught from our first moments what to look for and how to see things. Literally, how to see things. When you give something a name, you make it a "thing". There was a neuroscientist who did an experiment on his daughter ... he never used the word "blue" to describe a color just to see how long it would take her to natively see it. IIRC, it took something like five or six years before she realized there was this other color.
Our culture gives us a filter to sift experiences. That filter extends to abstract things as well ... how nature works, gravity and electrons, how humans behave, how people are SUPPOSED to behave, money, society...
Sometimes, we see the same things in an entirely different way, and whole new picture comes into focus and it makes crystal clear sense. HOLY FUCK! moments. Those moments are blessed; it's called inspiration. Like the guy who saw the world map and thought that Africa and the Americas once fitted together.
But most of the time, it's kind of an intellectual slog.
When someone shows me a new way of looking at something, I don't trust it, but I do try to understand it. If I react negatively to it, I have to ask myself WHY. What assumption is it countervening? Is that assumption wrong? Has my assumption failed to predict or explain past events? Does the new way of looking at things work better to explain and predict the world? Does it make sense? How does it impact other things that I know? Sometimes I reject, partially or in whole, what I'm hearing. Sometimes I accept part of it. However, I've been exposed to so many new PsOV that I no longer freak out when I hear them. I have a large mental warehouse called "interesting if true" and I can pull those pieces out from time to time and see if they fit the picture puzzle that is the world.
