It’s easy to let the rhetoric of the left drag you down. They go as low and dirty as they can at every opportunity. We all get caught up in it, but when you stop and analyze the tactic, it gets a lot easier to stop taking the bait.
Surely you’re familiar with the common notion that the left is the side of feelings and the right is the side of cold calculation. There’s some truth in that.
When we correctly assess that the left abandons facts to support their feelings, we often make the mistake that they are doing so from a lack of intelligence. It might be more accurate to state that they are countering conservative pragmatism with liberal sentiment. It’s actually quite clever.
Feelings, in many ways, are the opposite of logic and calculation, and the left has weaponized that opposite against the right.
So, when you see that someone on the left is ignoring facts and projecting their feelings right over the truth, it won’t help to get upset (even though it’s easy). Instead, the only way forward is to try and find a way to connect their sentiment with our pragmatic proposals.
It can be tricky to do, but when it’s done correctly, it makes the conservative point of view much more palatable to a hyper-sensitive leftist. This video is one of the best possible examples. Candace Owens douses all of the professor’s feelings with her facts, but it is her temperament that keeps him in the conversation.
This is truly remarkable when you watch it from the right frame of mind.
