Do you carry a portrait of a racist in your pocket at all times? Check your wallet. People can attend events for different reasons. I oppose the statues, but the free speech advocates who were there are not really about the statues so much as the point about free speech.

A small theory on cognitive dissonance and TDR: people are so offended by their caricature of Trumps personality and class that it overshadows the capacity of highly educated people especially to critically appraise his actions and weigh the available evidence on any issue.

1/ Scott, I know I've been clowning on you a lot for this take, but out of respect for the books I liked as a kid, let me explain why this comes off so braindead.

2/ We both know that language is a cipher, and that confirmation bias leads people to interpret speech in different ways. Particularly when it comes to any topics that are political in nature.
