You can think our public education system for that, specifically the NEA. They were pushed through school learning What to Think instead of developing critical thinking skills. Therefore "Feeling" about an issue is tantamount to "Thinking" and is much easier for them.

That is sad. We never had kids due to my wife being unable. I had no idea our school system was teaching kids about how to feel about things, instead of how to use their minds, and their God given abilities.

When my sister goes back to visit her son, she is not allowed to turn on Fox news in his house. All differing views and opinions are strictly verboten.

I remember when Obama was POTUS, he laid down the law, and warned all good Democrats NOT to watch Fox, or listen to any AM radio other than NPR.

And they all did what they were told.

I believe some have gotten waivers that said if they do watch Fox, they have to do it with all the derision and hate that they can muster.
