First Problem With Modern Day Political Discourse … No Absolute Truth!

First Problem With Modern Day Political Discourse … No Absolute Truth!

Lindsey Williams, Chaplain to The Elite, has laid it out so perfectly right here saying something I’ve seen as a huge problem but yet to find the words to express:

Here is the first problem with modern political discourse – too many people want to “win” arguments instead of getting to the greater truth of the matter. Discussions become brinkmanship. Opponents launch into immediate attacks instead of simply asking valid questions. They assert immediately that their position is the only valid position without verification. When confronted with rational responses and ample evidence, they dismiss everything instead of pondering what you have handed them. After this line is crossed, there is no point in continuing the debate. It will go on forever.
