George Will has left the building

This is why he wins, you realize.

There is no conversation about anything else.

Advertising works because most cannot be bothered to grasp beyond a soundbyte. The emotional only hear a name. If advertising says nothing intelligent; that is irrelevant. Many cannot be bothered to notice.

Speedy alka seltzer. Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Communists in the State Department. LSMFT. Unfortunately many never hear any more beyond that sound byte. How many are so foolish as to plug their computer into a surge protector? Protector and protection sound alike. So it must be same? Only an expression (a soundbyte) is sufficient to prove knowledge for so many adults who are not officer material.

How many will use 'nationalism' to justify their feelings. How many American soldiers were sacrificed in Vietnam and Mission Accomplished due to that emotion? Vietnam. Communist. Must be evil. Sddam. WMDs. Must be evil.

How many in Britain could even name their EU representative? Somewhere close to none. What remains is an emotion from which most people decide. Then later they may google "What is the EU?" Or, as one immediately concluded, EU must be a dictatorship, based in evil globalization, from which Britain is liberated. Donald Trump agrees. So it must be true. Knowing anything beyond that was irrelevant - can be ignored - to adults who still think like children.

How many remembered many reasons provided by George Wills for his conclusion?

Unfortunately your observation is extremely accurate.

You feel anyone who doesn't agree with you could not have possibly looked at facts and come to a different conclusion and must have had their judgment clouded by emotion. Silly bunny.
