12. Not "belief" but "know"
Tue Feb 23, 2021, 09:14 AM

There’s a big difference between the “true believers” -- whether Trumpists or, let’s face it, some Liberals, who simply suck up what their sources tell them to believe; and those of us (I include most people at DU) who want facts and trust facts and are skeptical until the facts can be examined.

Unlike the Trumpet “believers", you and your friends are, for want of a better word, “knowers.” We err sometimes. But generally, we practice the State motto of Missouri and ask “show me.” (Except, yeah, I know, MO put Josh Hawley in the Senate because the voters didn’t practice what that motto preaches!)
