Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    As an uninvolved party, after reading the thread, I understand that you feel frustrated and misunderstood. But I’m sorry to say that I feel like the failure of reading comprehension was on your part more than theirs.

    It seems like the majority of people who responded to you argued that there are not two evils, but two parts to the same whole evil.

    No one, that I saw, claimed you were saying that the Democrats were not evil. But the disagreement was that you see the Republicans and Democrats as two evils, while your opponents see them as one.

    Whether or not you agree, that seems like a logically coherent belief to hold.

      As an uninvolved party…

      Sigh. Not uninvolved anymore I guess.

      When one guy stopped calling me names and arguing against points I wasn’t trying to make, I backed down and listened and then acknowledged that he had a point.

      I’m not rehashing the argument again. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t go into my post history and throw things back in my face. I don’t know what the etiquette is, but it seems rude.
