So Nothing?

Thats for sure, especially among mindless idiots from both sides of the political spectrum.
This is indeed true - as is its opposite: nothing transforms people into very inquisitive citizen super-sleuths more than when the other guys are in power. Standards of proof? Poof! Gone. Disappearing necessity of presumption of innocence. Mere rumor and accusation serve as substantive, conclusive evidence. Whistleblowers move from non-credible, rat-tattletale-weasel-liar territory to sacred, revered, protect-at-all-costs wisdom-of-Solomon sage.

It’s a magical thing, this unbending tribalism.

Ironic in that you are a prime example.

Standards of proof? Poof!
