Lol thats hilarious.... thanks for the insult comming from a person of your interest, stature and back ground I can take that as a compliment.Your Dunning-Kruger schtick is tiring.
Often one who is idealistic makes a mistake of trusting the words of those they believe in without question nor further thought. Manipulating emotions to gain a movement is more done by those who have been been systematically biased their entire lives. Often with a us verses them mentality.
Far to often they use their position and influence to try and force their opinions and bias on those around them.
Those who ignore the competence of a leader who sways laws based on emotions and opions will end up in tyranny.
The use of words by a politican who changes a law on emotions is nothing but a manipulator. Those who follow those changes without question are taken advantage of and most often loose the very thing they are trying to protect.
