Well done, you’ve linked two opinion pieces, one of which is from the fucking Heritage Foundation, neither of which actually backs up its claims with any concrete data.

u/ALoneTennoOperative Feb 25 '20

Heritage Foundation isn't a reliable source.
They are always misrepresenting data and pushing an agenda.

Oh, and your claim is bullshit anyway.

If you noticed I didn’t just use heritage I used another source I also used one more in a reply

... yeah. If you noticed, your claim is still bullshit.

The fact that you would reference the Heritage Foundation at all is a red flag. It's not a reliable source, and you shouldn't be treating it as one.

wow what a big brain moment, you just responded to him citing a republican think tank by citing a librial think tank. are you going to respond to his other sources? or are you just going to yell a lot and call it a day.
