re: #50 Targetpractice
In this case, it’s more like:
>Liberal: The majority of rapes involve someone close to the victim, making a gun virtually useless.
>Conservative: Guns are magical totems which keep evil away even if never drawn!
My point is assigning a liberal or conservative bias to either statement is like saying “red is a liberal color” and “blue is a conservative color” — orthoganal to what the words actually mean.
Right now, they’re just being used as confirmation bias, projection, or utter fantasy labels — granted, mostly by one side.
