Among the more frustrating reasons that America suffers a seemingly unbridgeable political divide is because the left fails to recognize their sometimes scared beliefs are not rooted in logic or facts. Pointing out the contradictions between following the rule of law and sanctuary city policies proves unfruitful. That’s because social justice warriors are acting on pure emotion, nothing more.
In this Western Journal report, the insight of famed economist Thomas Sowell provides an intellectual roadmap that can effectively render the emotion-based arguments of liberal extremists null and void. In a 2005 Fox News interview called “Thomas Sowell: In The Right Direction,” the acclaimed thinker proposed methods to ask questions that would produce “aha” moments in even the most stubbornly illogical left-wing radicals.
In the in-depth interview, Sowell emphasized the civic discourse problems plaguing conservative and liberal Americans and outlined key questions that would help close the gap. In a watershed moment, Sowell opened the floodgates to a new way of thinking about the ideas of the left and right. His insights are incredibly different from the sometimes nauseating talking points that go back and forth between the two major American political parties and their mouthpieces.
As Sowell brilliantly noted in his engaging talk, there are no complete and total solutions, only trade-offs. If you want to know how to disarm liberals who believe their opinions are facts, watch this Western Journal video and arm yourself with three amazing questions.
