True. And you also wanna make sure you take the right steps to ensure if there is any false information that is being accepted as gospel is quickly extinguished before the flames or the smoke causes more damage

Thanks for this.
How does your belief in raw power show up in your family? Surely, when resolving disputes with family members it's not the only strategy you use. My question really is about how you're thinking about the relationship between raw power in the realm of politics/governance and raw power exercised through interpersonal, familial relationships. Is there a fear that by rejecting epistemology in and of itself (or at the very least substituting a new framework--my 'facts' are no better than yours--in place of the old) in the realm of politics we risk creating a similar disposition when building with people we know and love?

Maybe.
I think that may be the purpose of some sites including lil bios of the writer at the bottom of articles to kinda give a glimpse at who they are and what they are into/agree with

Freedom doesn't supercede truth. You may not believe in physics and gravity, but you're not throwing yourself off the George Washington bridge to test whether you'll fly because you know where you'll end up.
We have had close to 40 years of reaganomics and the wealthiest Americans have never controlled so much of the country's resources. Yet, Republicans want the rest of us to keep believing that something will eventually trickle down, despite evidence that their policies don't work.
This is exactly what that article is talking about: the lack of logic in conservative reasoning and the denial of facts.
To further the referee analogy, it's like being ok with the fact that the referee should call the game in favor of the home team, or being ok with the game being played without one. Soon enough, a slide tackle from behind, an elbow in the face, or a facemask become part of the game. I don't know of a single match played this way that didn't end up in a full blown brawl.

I don't agree with the need for an arbiter.
The disconnect here again is that you're pointing to biases, which in my opinion are also dramatized in that boldened part. The crisis here is dismissing institutions, science and flat out creating lies. That's what you say the right is forced to resort to because of the liberal media?

Ever heard of libel laws? False accusations? You don't have the freedom to speak falsely against people.

The the vote for the formation of the commission failed in the Senate because a few GOP Senators wanted to stick it to Obama. Obama created the Commission through executive over. This move pissed off progressive. The commission would not even exist without his actions.
Why do you misrepresent events like people were not alive during the same time period?
Furthermore, Simpson-Bowles unpopular enough when it came up to vote. It failed the vote to even get to Congress.
And it's policy recommendations we're torn apart by economist because a lot of it was not good policy. It was being bipartisan for the shake of being bipartisan.
So Simpson-Bowles commission was created by Obama and their recommendations didn't even reach his desk.

Been kinda disappointed with my friends and some of their political views lately. Watching the world series and I said something about Puig being the only black dude on the team and they were like 'nah he's Cuban'. Then I mentioned how it's funny that bush is a 'good' guy now and he's like well he is when you look at what we have in office now. Smh and this guy went to Stanford. Just kinda illustrates how people aren't aware/don't have time to learn up on the system
