So, here’s the problem. Facts don’t make people change their minds-especially when it comes to politics. Sigh…

I’ve said this before, but nothing makes people change their opinions, not even facts. Opinions are everything - they are the sum of who we are, and directly challenging them, with facts or otherwise, is an attack we will not tolerate.

The only way to change an opinion is for the person owning it to want to change it. For a very few, the desire to be right is strong enough that facts can make them want to change even dearly held opinions. For most, this is not the case.
