It is like when I try to argue with my teenager who is upset and not thinking reasonably. Talking to progressives is just like that. They can’t and won’t listen to reason. Unlike progressives, however, my son eventually calms down, and we can then have a reasonable conversation. With them, you cannot.

And there are those who may understand the truth, or have a lack of evidence, but don’t want the status-quo to change; and therefore, will defend their position until the end of time.
