Applying Logic To Politics

Apparently, almost no Republicans are concerned about their party’s abrupt shift from conservatism to delusion.

A friend and I talked about this the other day, during which discussion she said that progressives don’t have a lock on truth.   This, of course, is true.  But I told her, “All these issues that are based on facts, rather than opinions, are either correct or incorrect.  This is a law of logic formulated by Aristotle 2300 years ago (“non-contradiction”).

“For example, there either was or was not significant voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Both cannot be true.  Since 30 different judges and the hundreds of people who certify the elections at the state levels found no evidence that there was, in fact, significant voter fraud, the idea that all these people, to a person are either misinformed or corrupt, is preposterous.”

Someone just sent me a meme he’s published to the effect Biden is killing the economy, as evidenced by the rising unemployment numbers.  But all unemployment numbers fell in February and March, and were unchanged in April.

Frankly, this irritates me.  Before publishing something like that, can’t you simply look it up?
