Most people change their political ideologies as they go through life, experience new things, and continue to learn. This is natural, and the vast majority of these folks are perfectly honest and sincere.
On the other hand, there are people like JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and, of course, Donald Trump, who are simply opportunists. They would try to convince you that day is night if they thought it would further their careers.
They count on Americans to accept things like the following: Last June, we obliterated Iran’s nuclear weapons capability. Now we have to re-obliterate it.
There is a huge audience of American fools who are thinking: makes perfect sense to me! When we get finished with this war, we’re gonna f*** it up again!
Within the realm of political punditry, I’ve always wondered if people like Rush Limbaugh actually believe what he told their wildly receptive American audience. Is he really a hateful moron, or was he, just like the televangelists, just another career actor, looting the bank accounts of our nation’s idiots?
There Are Legitimate and Illegitimate Reasons to Shift One’s Political Views
Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%. To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.
Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.
This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.
If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy? Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?
I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
