Do Not Get Into Political Arguments. It’s Not Worth It.
Yes, that is easy to say. And no, I am not saying that having an opinion is wrong or that sharing it is off limits.
But there is always someone who will argue with you. And the sad truth is that no matter how wrong they may be, there will be a ten percent truth buried in their argument that they will throw out as an anchor. And that will get you every time.
This is a lose lose situation.
Learn from MAGA. No matter what argument you make — and yes, that is an absolute — they always come back with “Well, Biden.” And somewhere in that response there is that ten percent truth.
If you counter it they have their one fact and you lose. If you throw your hands up you lose. If you say something considerably less polite you lose.
In the film WarGames, the computer WOPR — also known as Joshua — was asked to play tic-tac-toe after nearly launching a nuclear war. Running through every possible scenario it reached the only honest conclusion available.
WINNER: NONE.
That is the conclusion you should reach before ever getting into a political argument.
