The difficulty of convincing the left of any common sense
position is they ,at least the older baby boomers, are heavily invested
in the idea that they have changed or saved the would by their behavior
of the last 40 years.
I fear many of them would risk mental
instability if they faced the fact that things they take the most pride
in have been disasters for the world and the US. The Withdrawal
of support for South Vietnam after the war was over caused so much
death in Southeast Asia, anyone who advocated it should live a
life of penance in the hope of undeserved forgiveness.
If I were in their position I would find it almost impossible to admit my error, as apprarently they do.
