I'm Loyal to Nothing Except the Dream

Facts stopped mattering when the left pushed for years in the education system that truth was for the individual to decide for themselves. When critical thinking is no longer a priority, and each individual is not only told you cannot evaluate what others say, but is actively shamed and even attacked for doing so.

Yep, relativism is great while it’s your ‘truth’ that is in the ascendant.

This ban isn’t a ban on Muslims, it is a ban on poor Muslims. The Muslim countries that The Donald does business with are conspicuously absent.

I think it’s probably more accurate to say that it’s a (temporary) ban on people from failed states. (I’m not going to debate how much the failure is the fault of the West or the US in particular).

@Nicholas_Mitchell

You would do well to force yourself to read more stuff that you disagree with, and practice coming up with logical arguments about why you disagree with it.

This applies to all of us, I fear.

@codinghorror, back to increasing the turnout: I was surprised to discover that voting happens on a weekday in the US. Surely the easiest change would be to move it to the weekend? Or is there something I’m missing?
