Well, in this analysis you're going to see a textbook example of exactly that. On Zeteo's Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi Hasan asks Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson whether gay people could live equal lives in his America, and Doug offers a tidy answer: overturn Obergefell and let the states decide. Mehdi doesn't argue with it. He asks about one state that already has gay marriage, in exactly the right order, and the principle comes apart in Doug's hands. In this episode, Steve breaks down why the sequence did the work, and how you can use it yourself. -- To support us through PayPal (thank you): https://www.paypal.me/RationalityRules To visit the DEBUNKED card game website: https://www.debunkedcardgame.com/ To follow Steve on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RationalityRules To tweet with Steve on X: https://twitter.com/RationalityRule \-- Mehdi Hasan vs Doug Wilson | Mehdi Debates Pete Hegseth's Christian Nationalist Pastor Ally: https://zeteo.com/p/christian-nationalism-doug-wilson-hegseth Zeteo's Mehdi Unfiltered: https://zeteo.com/s/mehdi-unfiltered Episode 1 | Why Misogynists NEVER Say What They Mean (And How to Force Them) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRe10f1zupk -- 0:00 The Pastor Who Wants to Expel an American State 3:46 The Geometry of Denying Equal Rights 16:43 Dragging Answers Out of a Filibuster 22:32 The Constitutional Paradox of a Theocracy 28:37 The Art of the Interviewer's Persistence
