It's probably powerful to you because it's something you want to believe, but to others it just sounds like more dramatic fake news from the liberal elite media. It all just goes to prove that people are now so divided in both the UK and USA that productive debate seems impossible. It's a very worrying prospect because, as I said in another thread, the only alternative to debate settled by voting is ,historically , war.
Here's an interesting question for you. If you won an election or vote after a campaign and public debate but were then told that it didn't count because the losing side insisted on their view, how would you feel ? What would be your next move ?
