Do you?
You're right I'm not trolling though.  Like me, you usually get your facts right.
We just have different core beliefs and different ideas about what the great battle or story of our time is, who is the villain, and who is the hero.
So we take the same facts and insert them into our stories in different ways.
Almost everyone else here is more agreeable and I suspect it's because their core story is simpler, at least regarding politics.  Take SkullRebelAlliance and JIB.  Both of them understand facts just as well as either of us, both of them certainly have stories to tell from their own lives, but politically speaking, both of their stories amount to just "leave me alone, government". Yours is all "we gotta take the press and academia away from the commies!" and I'm all like, "we gotta find a way to compromise with each other!" Their story just depends on them.  Our stories require others to behave in a way that pushes the story forward.  But you push mine backwards and I push yours backwards.
But it's OK! Neither of our opinions matter!
I'll buy you a beer sometime.  Maybe a mojito.
