And as you said, there is no discussion about it. The facts and evidence contrary to its purported benefits is almost totally ignored. Seems every decision we make is based on politics rather than science…which in and of itself is truly laughable.
The big separation from the right and left is that the right owns that what we believe are informed opinions: the left says their opinions are TRUTH. Lost a friend today after trying desperately to change the conversation which for her was how Trump was evil and everyone who supports him is evil. And she couldn't figure out why I left. I tried to explain that both of us had opinions, but to her (and she said this) it is truth. Brainwashing, ala Karl Marx
