RE: You are correct...

You're not talking to REAL Republicans anymore - I can respect the REAL Republicans - I can disagree with them on economics but REAL Republicans like Dwight D Eisenhower - one of the best presidents was a REAL Republican.

I can respect them for being multi-dimensional thinkers who actually care about people. But that's not the monstrosity that has taken over. There is no - Democrat can marry a Republican these days. All the money blather is just that. It's now become - if you are a trump supporter - you're unfriended from facebook - you're a liberal - get out of my church.

And you can't have facts on your side when facts have become politicized. My friend is a religious fellow who believes the devil put dinosaur bones on the planet to confuse people. There are Trump fans posting daily that the earth is in fact flat and yes they are literally adament about it. Climate Change is a Chinese conspiracy (that was from Trump but you know where he gets all his information and it ain't from books).

You can't win an argument using a fact anymore. You can't win an argument trying to elicit an emotional response requiring people have empathy. And you certainly can't win an argument calling the other side names.

A racist doesn't think of himself as a racist either - and no matter what you argue - the whataboutism arguments will start. So if you say something bad about Trump - you will get "what about Hillary" - and on it goes. Each side preaches to their choir.

John Oliver on whataboutism. Critical thinking requires dealing with the specific issue and evaluating it - not defending your guy no matter. You never see a Trump supporter ever criticize him for anything. That's a problem.
