Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

Consistent with other studies, we find that American conservatives are more likely than liberals to hold misperceptions. Visual inspection suggests stark ideological differences. Conservatives tend to claim more falsehoods are true, while the number of truths believed is modestly lower.

And I've often thought about ideas of "who is most susceptible to manipulation?" in terms of large, easy to discern groups at great length. But it is a much more nuanced discussion to be had. I didn't think it always was such but it is.

Highly religious people are the least likely to change their views.

I feel almost the opposite in a way. I thought Hillary's positions were insane back in 2016, and I supported Trump over her during that time.

Trumpism before the First Term was a cool, risky and dangerous thing to adopt, it went against the establishment. After Trump won the first time and became the establishment, supporting him became much more "safe", and no longer worth fighting for in my eyes.

You're still a liberal in my eyes, as are many of the Modern Trump fans.

Just blind denial. Especially when Google and Youtube are a thing. People film ICE harassing regular people all the time.



But things might look different from his high horse.

Speaking Vanilla Ice, Andrew is an anchor baby, perhaps we should send a tip to check up on him, just to be sure. I mean he's from what Trump called a dangerous drug state. If he has nothing to hide then there's nothing to fear.

I've talked about this at length but I'll spell it out for you, now that you're taking a break your fake persona.

My mom came from Colombia in the 70s. It was a process that took about 5 years. But she came and wed my dad, who brought her in on a fiance visa. And then they married. It was arduous but by the letter, and she didn't even get her full citizenship until about 1990. There is no "anchor baby,." I came after. The very idea makes her sick to her stomach.

So yes. She is sickened by the thousands/millions that have poured over the border either being given what she fought for for so many years or being fought for by third parties to give them later on -- after successfully having illegally snuck in long enough without having being caught.

Danngggg there's an almost 20 year gap between myself and Andrew, no wonder our views are so different.

Good evening everyone, you're watching Technodrome First, my name is FuentesWolfLeonardo, we have a great show for you tonight, very excited to be with you here on Saturday. We have a lot to talk to about, lots to get into, BIG SHOW.

Our featured story tonight is how the Nick-Tucker interview led directly to the ongoing Andrew Sdp Feud and how Israel is most likely involved.

Honestly it makes sense for generational gaps to have different views on the world. People in their late 30's and 40's were born in the 80's and experienced life before the 2000's.

You young Gen-Z kiddo's in the 2000's or very late 90's were exposed to a very different world and social media landscape. Like it blows my mind people were born AFTER 9/11 for example.

I'm sure some older people felt the same of us all being born after Vietnam.

Some of us instead having childhood landmarks of the Cold War, Berlin Wall, and the Challenger shuttle exploding, among others. Or for those a bit younger, perhaps 9/11 and war in Afghanistan, Columbia shuttle exploding, the Great Recession, etc instead...

Today's kids...well, a global pandemic at the top of that list.

By the time we were in the late 80's or 90's all that stuff felt like ancient history like you'd read in history books in school. It's hard to believe 9/11 is now over 25 years ago, to put it in perspective kids of today are reading that in their "history books."
