Harvey Discussion with MAGA co-worker

[reflection]

50. Well done.

Many times, I explain that the free market and socialism are both tools, and that certain tools are good for certain jobs. There is nothing inherently evil about either one of them, and you just have to analyze the problem to see which tool (or both tools, or something else) would be better to fix the problem. Living in a Southern red state where people are all about their tools and are happy to have every kind and variation known to man, I sometimes can get some traction with this analogy.

I did like your logical progression though. There's nothing more satisfying than politely walking someone toward a conclusion they would never have arrived at otherwise. If they can reason themselves to that point, a seed will be planted and might take root. But otherwise, most people will not reason themselves out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
