I was at a thing talking to a Hillary lefty and the subject got to Trump there and he (there are a couple of Hillary supporting nominal XY's apparently) gets going, something on the order of:
"Trump is a racist"
"Why would you think that?"
"It's obvious"
"Why?"
"He wants to deport mexicans"
"You mean uphold the law?"
"He can't ban muslims"
"The guys doing the shooting and knifing and blowing up stuff all over the world? heavens why would we want to keep them out"
"You cant ban a religion"
"You can ban people from those countries"
The problem I think, is there are people who accept everything on MSM as facts, and those who know it's a lie. Operating from two completely disparate data sets with nearly no intersection on your basic Venn diagram.
This is a result of the elimination of critical thought in education. The emphasis has quite purposefully turned to a conditioning that information supplied from a position of authority must be Truth. This is a fallacy, and one easily detected by those not willing to ignore the man behind the curtain. And if you can't agree on what is factual, what common ground can there ever be?
Walking around in a city these days is a lot like being Roddy Piper with truth sunglasses in "They Live."
