Everyone should care about facts. Anyone who doesn't should be ignored in serious discussions.
It is possible to care about facts but consider more ambiguous situations. Personally, I have been fascinated by how we should talk about and consider ambiguity. There's no logical inconsistency there.
I should note that while there have been some comments on what I've said, no one here has claimed that they believe that if the situation were reversed, Harry Reid or Chuck Schumer would have acted differently, or should have acted differently, than Mitch McConnell.
I lose a debate when the facts suggest an outcome I suspected was unlikely to transpire has only occurred two out of ten times the scenario manifested in the past?

See here is the thing. To many Republicans, this won't matter one damn bit. They saw John McCain as a "loser" because he "couldn't stop Obama". These same people applauded Trump when he verbally abused McCain and then **** all over his legacy. These are the same people who joked that "the angels are pissing on McCain" when it rained during his funeral. So, yeah, her endorsement likely won't flip anyone.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Yes, I care about those affected by COVID and I am thankful Trump initiated the "racist xenophobic" travel ban when he did or it would much much worse (if Biden were in charge).
Yes, children shouldn't be separated from their parents, Obama never should have started that...and parents with children shouldn't come into the country illegally or sell them to coyotes either..
Yes, I care about minorities and am glad Trump gave them the lowest unemployment in their history, high wages increases and initiated criminal justice reform, fully funded historically black colleges..
How about you? Care about the cities being looted and burned to the ground? Small businesses being torched? Elderly with COVID sent back into nursing homes? Small business owners, police officers being assaulted and murdered by rioters?
But you keep your head in the sand...nice and safe in there
If you ever read what I have posted in the past you will see that I have spoken out several times about the looting and riots. I have spoken in several threads in my support of police but still feel the need for reform. So you have either read what I have posted the past few months and ignored it or You speak with no knowledge of what I have said in the past and make assumptions. Either way your statement does not fit the facts.

A little bit of history my husband told me about over dinner
This Is How FDR Tried to Pack the Supreme Court
Dr. David B. Woolner, senior fellow and resident historian of the Roosevelt Institute and author of The Last 100 Days: FDR at War and at Peace, says it’s important to note the timing of this bill, which took place during the Great Depression. “We were in the midst of the worst economic crisis in our history,” he says. “Roosevelt’s response to this economic crisis was to engage in a series of programs designed to manage a capitalist system in such a way as to make it work for the average American. And because he wasn’t particularly ideological, he was willing to try all kinds of things.”Over the course of the Depression, Roosevelt was pushing through legislation and, beginning in May 1935, the Supreme Court began to strike down a number of the New Deal laws. “Over the next 13 months, the court struck down more pieces of legislation than at any other time in U.S. history,” Woolner says.Hoffer says historians disagree about what happened next. Some argue that Justice Owen Roberts had shifted in his opinion of the New Deal before the election, giving later New Deal acts like social security, the National Labor Relations Act and other economic regulations his vote on the Court. That shifted the majority to favor federal welfare and regulatory enactments. Others contend that the threat of adding justices to the Court was enough to swing Roberts' vote.
In the end, Perry says, two members of the Court switched to a pro-New Deal position, known as “the switch in time that saved nine.”
“And FDR eventually packed the Court the old-fashioned way,” she says, “through attrition, naming nine members.”
