However His (Trump's) pilots thought the world of him which is not always the case for a corporate pilot so at least there is that. One thing I did like about his presidency was the way the country was being managed; unlike the disaster we all see now.. You can stop after what Joe has to say or continue to listen...
I spent a long time last night talking in fellowship with some great friends. There was about 12 of us. We were extremely diverse and represented a large sample of world views.
I truly enjoyed the sharing of our thoughts and ideas, and I learned something very important.
When you share your world views, the only thing that you are doing is stating what you think and believe. If you are uncertain, then you may be able to take away some knowledge and may develop new beliefs, if what you are told aligns with what you already believe, but no one walks away having changed what they already believe.
Life experiences may create a pause, a void of uncertainty, or completely change what you believe, but it is truly a rare occurrence that one changes what they believe to be true, simply because of what someone declares as a truth. Unless they greatly trust and admire the person that is trying to persuade them that their beliefs are faulty.
If you listen closely to what Rogan is saying, he stresses that most people believe Trump because how things "looked'. Not necessarily of how things actually were or are.
People that love Trump will see him dressed in ermine. Those that are not fond of Trump will see him as a naked ass.
Beliefs are personal. It is hard to see clearly when you have the sun shining in your eyes and you are surrounded by darkness. Both situations leave you blind.
