Of course it
should be. But the tendency today is for both sides of most arguments to believe in the "obvious truth" with an almost blind faith and no evidence whatsoever, and any evidence to the contrary is just "made up" or "lies" or worse. And sadly in many cases this applies to BOTH sides of the argument.
I frankly would consider it wiser to just flat ban politics entirely. It won't happen of course, but there's just no way to have an intelligent, calm, and rational discussion between somebody who believes black is white and white is black vs somebody who believes orange is green and green is orange. The only time you will get those calm and rational discussions is between two people who agree that black is black... or at least they both agree that what they are calling black is actually black in both of their eyes.
And even when you find two people who agree on that, there will always be somebody else who points out that the emperor is naked. Whether he actually is or not.
