On the entertainment level, I have been banned twice by Breithart.com for my Disqus assaults
on the their 'journalism'.

Ohhhhhhh..... Congratulations sister!!!! Ohhhhh would you mind sharing more on that topic????

I've always lived on the East coast and have never traveled in the 'heartland' of Trump America. I have a genuine curiosity about these people and how they actually think.

With disqus handles I 'do battle' with the comments on Breitbart. I didn't express my 'left wing commie' views but rather chipped at their belief system, questioning their own media and values. It seems that most 'believers' have an easy time 'opposing' other's views but are less aware of the flaws in their own value systems. For instance, our dear SB is fully equipped to point out the shortcomings of Chinese society, but is perhaps less comfortable discussing why an individual chooses prostitution as a substitute for children and relationships where women have power.

Most of the contributors to Breitbart actually welcome debate. The site, however, is not amenable to criticism of right wing media funding. My comments about Breitbart itself (their clickbait income and loss of corporate advertisers) resulted in my being banned twice. In defense of Breitbart, I have also been banned from the NY Times before for pro-China arguments, when I suggested that the Times' anti-China position was a direct result of their inability to capitalize on the Chinese market.

As a 'libtard troll' on Breitbart, I was the subject of much abuse, but some thoughtful posters seemed to be educated and sincere about their conservative values. Reading them increased my understanding of their basis for their support of Trump. In many ways they were willing to tolerate the Trump idiocy if it could possibly change the slow descent in the quality of their lives and economy.

In a country where 95% of the population believe in angels and 92% believe in an afterlife, faith is endemic.

My 3rd disqus handle continues tilting at windmills.
