5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    With the depth of information available these days, it's hardly worth arguing at all - everybody has access to more facts than they can deal with, you'll never "open someone's eyes" with a surprising truth that hasn't been analyzed and spun into oblivion by both sides. At this point, it's mostly coming down to biology first, and current economic position a distant second: some people are just wired conservative, some are wired liberal, and the rare ones that aren't pretty much pre-destined to one or the other are swayed more by their own current circumstances than anything else.

    some people are just wired conservative, some are wired liberal,

    Your terminology is incorrect. It isn't liberal versus conservative. Its liberal versus illiberal. White supremacy is not conservative, its illiberal. I mean literally, illiberal - an illiberal democracy is one in which the electorate is not the same group as the population. And that's been the goal of the GOP even since the voting rights act was passed.
