This is what scares me. These are English words, they're strung together grammatically, and they're certainly spoken confidently. But they don't make any sense. What does FB's size have to do with whether it promotes freedom of speech? Why would growth indicate criminal intent?https://twitter.com/YahooFinance/status/1187011255917150208 …
It seems like there's no longer *any* pressure on public servants to defend the arguments they're making, or to even make them *appear defensible,* so long as the target is right, the speech is charismatic & the phrases pattern-match to the verbal attire of the political tribe
What scares me isn't just that it's a farce, what scares me is that I actually think a large number of people listen to this **and genuinely believe they've heard a coherent and well-supported argument.** It doesn't stand up to a moment of reflection, **and it doesn't need to!**

Totally agreed.
Agreed, the choice of rhetoric is indefensible. With politicians who must publicly appease their constituents, rhetoric is what we get. It's the hero we need not the hero we deserve. The problem is: tangentially she's right, she just doesn't know why. Buy Bitcoin.
1: Honest reporting of beliefs 2: Straightforward lie (convince audience) 3: Motivated reasoning (convince self) 4: Bullshit (theatrical performance of "having arguments in support")
