It never ceases to amaze me the fallacious thinking that most people have. The lack of common sense that most people display.
Emotions are normal. They get stimulated by action. You separate children from their parents, you get anger. You raise taxes? you get anger. You debase someone? you get anger. You lie? you get anger. You are unfair or unjust? you get anger, etc. etc. etc. Some of these actions are needed and can be explained and the anger ebbs but these actions are not the norm but the exception.
Having said that, party's are both using these actions to stimulate even more anger, even more dissension, even more disunity. It is fallacious thinking because stimulating these negative feelings just makes things worse and not better. It makes solutions more difficult to obtain. Aren't solutions what we want and need? You are not going to get solutions if the problems are made worse.
What is even worse is that it cannot be expected that a normal person will always be able to control his emotions and use rational thinking. A normal person is not generally the solution to anything.
That is what a leader (a president) is supposed to do. He is the one that is supposed to be a stopper or at least a break in fallacious thinking. He is the one that is supposed to the rational (the adult in the room). Nonetheless, he is doing exactly the opposite. His fallacious thinking is the highest of all. He stokes anger, he continues to debase the opposition, he continues to do actions that enrage feelings, he is unjust as he demeans everyone that disagrees with him (even his own people).
Fallacious thinking is not a solution to anything, especially when it comes from the top as it grows exponentially as it filters down to the common man.
Is a fallacious thinker the answer for fixing the problems that the nation suffers from. Is more anger, more fear, more disunity, and more unfairness going to Make America Great Again?
These words have become the biggest word Con ever ideated. They sound great but they are empty words.
