Which is, again, a problem of Conservatives (for the most part) not checking sources.

Conservatives of all ages from both the North and the South send glurge and warnings. Liberals across regions tend to send infographics. Some of them even have footnotes.<br /><br />Of course, all parts of the political spectrum can haz cute cats.<br /><br />Facebook memes tend to be more balanced, although conservatives still dominate in the bullshit department. I still get birther memes! There are of course sites and memes on the left that I haven't found to be credible.<br /><br />Demographically, you're incredibly rare - a McCain voter who switched to Obama.lovable liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616294696912710046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167210975362071658.post-18706235320322335522013-05-26T07:00:26.139-04:002013-05-26T07:00:26.139-04:00This is an incredibly laughable post.

Quite literally ALL the glurge I receive comes from liberals, who seize on every bleeding-heart story as an example of how love and kindness exist in the world and triumph over greed and impersonality. They show literally no critical thinking... it gets tiring debunking all the **** they post.<br /><br />Love and kindness do exist, and we don't need magical stories to believe in them, thank you very much. The main point is that whom you receive glurge from depends more on YOUR social circle than any political trends. Your post shows me more about your own biases and lack of wide exposure to myriad political demographics than it elucidates any trend regarding glurge.<br /><br />FWIW, I am an independent and voted for Obama over Romney (but McCain over Obama).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167210975362071658.post-46893715213490454382010-02-11T17:01:58.629-05:002010-02-11T17:01:58.629-05:00I guess some of us do think that we can save the r...I guess some of us do think that we can save the rainforest, whales, Haitians, shelter dogs, etc. by just clicking on a link.lovable liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616294696912710046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167210975362071658.post-53756765952993364602010-02-11T13:18:56.528-05:002010-02-11T13:18:56.528-05:00Don't kid yourself, liberals fall for glurge t...Don't kid yourself, liberals fall for glurge too, just not the sort that targets conservatives as much. I got a chain letter the other containing a really drippy dog story from a liberal. If it's about cute lovable little kitties and bunnies or some missive about saving the environment with a sappy glurge story, there are going to be at least some liberals falling for it. But it is undeniable that conservatives do fall for chain letters of pretty much any type, glurge, political rants, scary warnings, there is a real problem with conservatives and chain letters.Caprihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217822565079058459noreply@blogger.com
