Here is the first in a series of questions. First, I will throw up a question for Liberal Democrats. Then I will throw up an approximation of the same question for Conservative Republicans. In that case I will strive to adopt the viewpoint of a Liberal Democrat. The idea is to encourage those who read this blog to examine their assumptions about their own beliefs and the beliefs of others.
The first question is for Liberal Democrats, and there is a good reason for that. If you are a Liberal Democrat, I would like to know how you would phrase this question and future questions for Liberal Democrats so I can pose an approximation of the question for Conservative Republicans. I am not a Liberal Democrat, and I want to make certain that Liberal Democrats think the questions I pose for Conservative Republicans are just as challenging as those I pose for Liberal Democrats.
Question 1
When it is obvious you angrily distrust about half of our political leadership, why do you trust our leadership with the power to run a Socialist state?
Note that anyone is welcome to comment. That includes posing answers, adding a bit of sarcasm, and/or suggesting questions. If you consider yourself neither a Liberal Democrat nor a Conservative Republican, you are still welcome to provide the “moderate” viewpoint. In addition, anyone is welcome to suggest how they would phrase the question for a “moderate.” While we are at it, we may as well gore everyone’s ox.
