      Your brain is broken.

      The irony of this post pointing out what the right is doing using a boogeyman and a poster coming in here to back em up.

      Zero self awareness all the way down.

      Being slow moving to get shit done and actively destroying democracy is two different things. Don’t get it twisted.

      Your both sides argument is evidence that you lack the critical thinking to see that what the current administration is doing is unprecedented. If you have evidence where left leaning parties have done the same on this scale then please show me the evidence.

      Otherwise my suggestion for you is to take a look at where you are getting your source of information and ask yourself “Is this an opinion piece? is it backed by evidence?, is the evidence by a reputable source and stands the scrutiny of peers?, are the arguments against the evidence also supported by its own evidence and therefore logical conclusions can be drawn?.” Do these things and you will be better in this huge ecosystem of misinformation that we call today’s internet.

      Edit: I will add one more thing, it’s okay to be wrong. So many on the right seem to wind themselves up into a pretzel just to make the facts somehow fit their twisted reality. All you need to do is accept you were wrong accept that fact, thank the person for educating you and move on.

        The people who wrap up their world view under the cloak of religion can’t admit they were wrong because that would have to mean their faith was wrong.

          Not all of them. Islam has as one of its core tenets critical thinking. I tend to find the extremists of all religions to fail to reflect and admit wrong. I would agree the whole blind faith that alot of religions wrap their belief system with creates an environment that does not nurture critical thinking.

          So I would argue that its not every religion nor everyone who believes in one of the religions.

          I am an atheist btw I just have been interested in how religion or religions impacted critical thinking and have talked/ researched a few things.
