ANY reasonable application of logic "blows out their whole stupid argument."
It still doesn't stop him, though.
Same exact thing with his stupid "staged event" theory.
But he still keeps going, because only he can see the "TRUTH".

You'll have to explain yourself on that one, since I can think of several cases where such is not the case.
You DO know the meaning of the word "eclipse", right?
It's not conditional on the apparent size of the obscuring body.

Leave the critical thinking to the men.

How does a lunar eclipse (where Earth's shadow blocks sunlight hitting the moon) ever happen if the sun and moon are what, a few thousand kilometers above Earth? How can Earth EVER stop light from reaching the sun if both sun and moon are that close to Earth?
Do flat earthers then just dismiss the photo's of those eclipses as being somehow faked, part o ...[text shortened]... cy to hide the flat earth truth from the poor unsuspecting slobs of ordinary human civilization?
Something about forgetting his medication.
Originally posted by sonhouseThere is more to it than that. I think a few flat earthers probably did vote Trump. But so did many many other people. My concern about Trump, however, is not just about Trump, but the way he has been enabled by all those in his party and much of the media. The way truth has been thrown out the window. What I want to see is what happens in the next election. If a single republican that currently holds a position and has not yet spoken out against Trump or outright resigned manages to get re-elected, then, I will know, that all hope for humanities rationality is lost. Basically, it would appear that partisanship beats rationality. That basic human problem is what lead to the holocaust and most major wars. It is also what lead to Brexit. It is even partly responsible for terrorism and the problems of religion.
You don't think the nutters are the ones elected him?

Flat Earth or not, it still doesn't negate the plight of humanity. The environmental and sociological concerns remain.

Originally posted by karoly aczelIt appears that for many people, partisanship is more important than things like environmental and sociological concerns. We see it every day on this forum where people defend positions for purely ideological reasons ignore the facts or logical arguments in favour of a goal. This is not unique to republicans, but does seem to be more acceptable to those on the right. Many on the left are guilty of it, but less blatantly so.
Yeah right?
