Probably not common in a 2-party system but Trump still got a higher % of votes than uhm... Hitler.
I agree though, if Biden works out well and Trump doesn’t get reelected in 2024, you didn’t do that bad at all.
Any book that makes you believe Socrates, the founder of western philosophy, one of the greatest critical-thinkers and intellectuals who walked the earth, is like fox news and Sean Hannity should be burned together with its probably christian author.
“
If the news you bring me does not have the truth, is not good or useful to you, me, or the society, then, why bother telling it at all?” -Socrates
His crime in the eyes of the athenians was refusing to acknowledge exclusively the gods approved by the state and “corrupting the youth” by telling them ”To find yourself, think for yourself“, to think for themselves, rationally, which was a threat to believers.
His greatest lesson to the world was the Socratic method, dialectics, exactly what discussions on any level nowadays usually lack, the desire to find the truth through reason and rational critical thinking. Does that sound like Sean Hannity to you?
Maybe in the US but in monarchies that is actually a well-recognized advantage and one of the few roles the king or queen has left. Downgraded to be a national mascot.
