Consider for a moment if one of your most strongly-held political beliefs turned out to be completely wrong. Which one would you be the most comfortable accepting to be wrong? Which one would hurt you the most?

Post Body

Assume that your opinion is wrong, but as wrong as it can possibly be under realistic circumstances. For example, if you are a socialist you find out that socialism never works and is always just an excuse to institute authoritarian dictatorships. Likewise, if you are a capitalist you learn that real socialism absolutely works and only fails due to military or espionage intervention from capitalists.

What is a belief you would be the most okay with being wrong on, and which one would devastate you the most if you were wrong?

It is a little bit wild to me that the strongest article of faith in the Constitution is just the idea that the president would never just unilaterally ignore the rules, as though that hasn't been the trend of powerful leaders for literally millennia.

I don't know that any would hurt me to be wrong about.

I don't have the beliefs I have because I want to believe them, I have them because I've done as comprehensive a look at the world as I can and come to certain conclusions based on the understanding that I have.

If that understanding changes, my beliefs will change.

A lot of people's beliefs are based on personal values so there's not really a way to prove them "wrong" per say.
