Someone who gets shot and then doesn’t remotely reconsider their views — not even just to come to the exact same conclusions — on gun control isn’t “complicated”, they’re just stubborn and ignorant.
I think it's incredibly hard for people to reconsider long-held positions when new data challenging those positions presents itself. It can take ages being hit over the head repeatedly, before the eyes will open and the new or opposing data can be fairly evaluated. Making then wrong by calling them ignorant doesn't mean shit to their process.
I don't understand the story about the basketball player. Is she a biological male who had surgery or a biological female that had surgery. I never saw the they/them ad so I have no context. If I can't understand what is being talked about I'd think many others can't either. Stop hiding behind words.
I can understand Dyer's dilema. 95% of shootings go unremarked upon, as they are handguns. Someone shoots an AR and its' confiscation time. Yet a felon gets caught with a gun and they are out of jail the next day with a PR bond, and we allow crazy people to keep guns.
Honestly “Trump has some good qualities but Kamala has a lot of bad ones” is just a typical poorly informed voter.
I’m not denying we have to win these people but I’m tired of pretending the problem is anything other than that the average American voter is just a typical dumb a-hole

There’s being hit over the head and then there’s being shot by a literal gun.

The author should have asked Ludwig more about the autogynophelia that led to the transition. That is the unspoken part of the trans debate.
