In this very thread, to you in fact, I admitted that I was wrong and even argued with my fellow left of center people that the thing I was wrong about actually mattered (if only a little). I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm perfect but everything is relative and you've got some nerve telling
me that I'm the close minded one.
In fact, look right here:
It's been explained to you
ad nauseum what the protests are about and you flat out
refuse to incorporate it into your thinking on this subject.
I update my opinions on things based off of good arguments and facts. The right leaning people on this board, to their general discredit, seldom present me with either. You gave me a youtube search term that I pulled up and re-listened to and then I updated my opinion. I bent over backwards to try and work with you on this. In this thread. One other person cited a part of the Constitution that I was unfamiliar with as well and I admitted that I was wrong.
Your argument of "aww shucks, people are saying different things so I'm just going to keep saying platitudes on the board that add nothing to the conversation" has never been a good one. I understand people see this different ways. I disagree that it makes it impossible to get to something resembling the truth and I disagree that it removes our responsibility to actually think about things. In addition, people will disagree on every topic that there has ever been or ever will be. So bringing it up is a waste of time, it adds nothing to the conversation. I've pointed this out to you and you continue to bring the same point with no updates or refinements and expect it to matter. It doesn't.
I'm going to paint with too broad of a brush here when it comes to Conservatives and ingesting difficult information:
