    It’s exactly this blind following and absence of critical thinking or pragmatism that is causing the world to become so dangerously polarised.

    it’s also why nobody is likely to change their minds about the out come. It’s also very likely that even if some of the republican jurors are convinced, that there’s at least one that won’t be, without regard to facts or rule of law, or… you know evidence. (They’ll probably scream something like it’s their god-given-duty to stand for trump. Because you know he’s the second coming of christ or something.)
