Talking politics with a liberal is like trying to discuss religion with a bull-headed Baptist or a rabid Muslim. Believe me, working in show biz, one tires of it. I've come to realize nobody can make a true believer think logically or clearly. Emotional thinkers argue from feelings, not reality. They will insist their feelings are the reality. Since there is no evidence to back such claims, their voices rise, their comments become personal and belittling, and eventually they wander off to find someone of like mind to bind their wounds. Sometimes the need for survival will provide them a clarifying knock on the head, and occasionally a wandering progressive or religious follower may make it out of the swamp of pure blind empathy, recognize how badly they have been duped, and wander off, completely insane, to howl at the moon. This new state of mind is an improvement, for it allows hope back in the equation.
