In American Politics in the Trump era, I can't say I disagree...There are very few "undecided" people these days. Most people have an opinion on Trump by now so you aren't going to be influencing anyone and neither will I.
I typically post in the theology sections where the undecided lurkers are numerous... Just passing by this thread and felt like chiming in, but if my words help even one person make a choice for themselves, whether or not their choice agrees with me, then I'm grateful to have assisted.
I also find vigorous debate on any topic only hones my own knowledge of said topic.
But again, I get that it's not for everyone.. and most people prefer to preach their message to folks who will lap it up voraciously without question, instead of people who will challenge them on it.
Not me. I much prefer to have my views challenged as much as possible as it forces me to constantly dig deep, think about, question and test my views against as many differing views as I can find.
For me, I can't think of anything more monotonous, boring and intellectually regressive than "preaching to the choir".
Trump on the other hand?
He sure appears to get his energy, sense of self worth, and general personal affirmation by preaching to his choir as often and as long as possible, and avoids as often and as long as possible having to defend himself from anyone who wants to level a challenge..
He and I are polar opposite personalities in that, and many ways.
