Can A Progressive Be Convinced By Facts?

No, and neither can conservatives if it is about a subject they feel strongly about.

There are reasonable people who are amenable to facts, but in my experience they are small in number compared to everyone else who is not moved by facts.

Emotion is the most successful method of arguing, but it only works if you can put forth a sufficiently moving emotional argument.

What a stupid thing to post.

I suppose only clear thinking folks like you are capable?

You’re assumption that Conservatives can be closed minded is close minded. Ergo you must be a closed minded Conservative.

“feel strongly about” and facts do not mix. Please post some of your Facts Conservatives don’t believe.
And post some Facts Progressives dont believe.

Might be easier to follow RWR, regarding folks believing things that simply aren’t so”
