Impaired Reason

 Warning: Political Ideology May Impair Your Ability To Reason Steve Stewart-Williams

 The news isn’t all bad. The researchers also found that individuals who engage in more analytical thinking are somewhat immune to the reason-impairing effects of ideology. Admittedly, the impact of analytical thinking was modest and inconsistent. Still, the finding does show that reason can sometimes prevail.

Well, if that's the best I can hope for, it's still worth it to try.
