A good while before I left, most folks on the opposite side of the argument had stopped being thoughtful or even consistent in their processes, leading to obvious absurdities and hypocrisies. It's gotten worse since then.
A lesson I took from an old, beloved professor: "There comes a point where you stop arguing and start preaching."
Here, we have a question of why Trump, a man not known for his nuance or deep knowledge of American culture and history, watched the events of Charlottesville unfold and decided to spend the bulk of his press conference both-siding a rally organized and attended by explicit white nationalists and neo-Nazis. We've seen that even a group purportedly there without any business with white nationalists nevertheless has tie-ins that should be downright shocking to its supporters. Instead, they're just deflecting from any serious consideration of it.
Not much here to be too thoughtful about anymore. Y'all have changed in many disturbing ways.
