The pearl clutching we see here often is from a failure to evaluate all the information and apply critical thinking skills.

It doesn't matter when the vast majority of this country are blithering idiots who get swayed by what some late night talk show host says.

It’s also the reason a lot of people have given up on live threads. Election threads are the worst.

More than a few eople ready to throw in the towel before cross! The day isn’t behind us yet and some people expect the President to be guillotined. Geez.

Not so fast.

You are making a critical thinking error. Since most people DO NOT use critical thinking skills nor care about logic, only perception and optics matter.

So far, today has been very bad for optics. The witness keeps saying what they dems want for soundbites, "quid pro quo." Yes, anyone with a brain knows all of this is logically and legally backing up Trump (the phone call in which he said "do the right thing") but that doesn't matter. Most people are stupid. The MSM doesn't can use the optics to move them... and that's all that matters. The dems just need a thin thread to move on this and affect the 2020 election.

TLDR; since most people are stupid the facts don't matter... optics do.
