The Thought Process of Political Discourse

I spent some time this week pondering the human thought process. Theory One is that while some people prioritize reason in their thought process, others prioritize emotion. Theory Two is that everyone thinks emotionally, but different emotions are priorities.

 This might explain why some of your friends and relatives believe strongly in things that are appalling to you (and vice versa). Further, it explains why you cannot convince them that they are wrong, no matter how much you argue with them.

 Are with this information, I feel that I have a better understanding of Trump supporters. And also the Bernie or Bust people.
