Even the more mature, intelligent, reasoned and objective on either side can make a pretty good case as to why the left is wrong or why the right is wrong and vice versa, so just how do we KNOW which is which? What criteria determines good reason and logic as compared to blind bias regardless the facts, reason and logic?
I am really not sure, but when we recognize all that influences our thinking and why, it becomes all the more clear why time spent in this kind of forum and/or discussing politics in general is about as productive as building a sand castle at the shore line with high surf...

So why do we bother I wonder? |

We know which is right by the Principles of Gods Teachings - and the Principles that Democracy is Founded Upon and Within. Democracy's foremost Principle is "EQUALITY"... The Bible speak of the Principles of "Do Unto Others as one would have others do unto you.
Those two points and principle factors, are nowhere to be found in the Right Wing Ideology, who wants to discriminate based on skin, ethnicity, gender, and lifestyles choice, cultural heritage, voter repression of those who do not look like them, and the slothfulness of the Right Wing Evangelicals who speak of God and God Principles but
will not honor and stand by or respect those principles, they want to condemn others based on with a claim of moral decay, when the very same things of moral decadence they condone among themselves.
These same Right Winger talk about patronism, while they condone and support the attacks on every aspect of the American system of Government and All its Departments and Divisions, and support insult and injury to the system of Justice, while they condone the long list of Russian interlopers who have interjected themselves into our Voting System and Social and Civic Society, and interlinked themselves with a numbers of the people within this Trump/Republican Administration.
We have a man who said he "grabbed women by the P___!", yet the Evangelicals have found no issue or concern with it. He has paid off sex workers and these same Evangelicals have no issue with it, yet, these are the same who has issue with Michelle wearing a sleeveless dress on occasions, or Obama wearing a taupe colored suit. These are the same Right Wingers who saw no issue with Melania plagiarizing Michelle's Speech and claiming it as her own. The list is long
It's not hard to know which is more American Supporting of Democracy and God Based Principles.
