DIANE!! Tsk tsk. I was entertained by your article here, but ... can you have already forgotten your own assessments of our Democrat friends? May I remind you? https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/scientific-discovery-liberals-are

The left is the product of their upbringing. How many Democrats do you know who grew up in Republican households? The answer is probably none, and for a good reason. You can't intentionally trade truth for fantasy without realizing it. Just can't be done. So growing up in a Democrat household makes you accept the fantasy, and you will believe any lies you're told. It's environment, plain and simple. We have a friend, exceptionally smart, who grew up Democrat and hates Trump with a passion, even though Trump's policies have made him pretty affluent. He doesn't care for the truth, even when his bank statement tells him he believes a lie.

We're all human, and prone to errors. What's not being done in this conversation is separating policy from human frailty in executing that policy. The Democrats believe in the criminal acts they condone, otherwise ANTIFA and BLM would not exist. MAGA believe in Trump's policies, even though his execution may be less than perfect from time to time.

There's a world of difference there, and it will always be present as long as we're a free people. Part of the cost of a Constitutional Republic. You have the right to be stupid and make dumb decisions...
