[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 351526, member: 3907"] There are some people who have so much of themselves personally invested in their political views that they become completely unreasonable when challenged. It seems that a factual, logical challenge is even worse for people in this camp because they can't mount an effective argument against it. Because you debunked their story with facts, it put them in the position of having to admit either that their side was wrong, or that the other side has merit. I find that people are increasingly unwilling to give the opposite side any credit, regardless of what the opposite side is. I have found myself just not discussing politics at all with broad swaths of people. I have fairly firm and settled views about things, but I'm not willing to put friendship at risk over them so I'd rather just keep it to myself. DDD, I agree with you. It is very sad. Sigh...
