Has anyone noticed that Americans make up any narrative to fit their worldview?

If a bridge falls down, racists and sexists will say that the bridge fell down because Cuban girls designed it, Communists will say the bridge collapsed because of deregulation, and Libertarians will blame the government for funding it.

If an actor sucks, racists will say he is a Jew, but if the actor is talented, racists will say that he is white.

If Steve Jobs failed, racists will say he is an Arab, but if Steve Jobs was successful, racists will say that he is white.

If politicians want votes, they will say that they are black, Indians, or homosexuals.

If a girl is successful, sexists will say that she is a tranny, but if she is corrupt, sexists will say that she is a female.

Fascists will say Trump can drive up the national debt because Obama did.

Nazis love the police state because they think tyranny only affects blacks, illegal immigrants, Jews, homosexuals, and Muslims.

Socialists think smoking should be illegal because it is dangerous, but pot should be legal.

Communists think voters shouldn't need an ID to vote, but Americans must have an ID to drive, drink, buy a gun, or check out a library book.

Nazis will say Ron Paul is a globalist because he supports immigration, but Libertarians say Ron Paul supports freedom because he favors secession.

Fascists will say stories about Trump's falling approval polls are fake news, but Nazis will say stories about Trump's rising approval polls are the truth.

Think.

Still narrow thinking gets you small out comes that needs to change.
