I like your reasoning. I’m a libertarian myself, so I get it.

But I held my nose and voted Democrat the last two Presidential elections because I think Trump is a uniquely dangerous person. I hate the “this time is different” argument, but I actually think it applied this time.

A plan?

Hmm. Interesting argument.

Maybe people believe that it will save a starving child in the future. Like, some future where politicians finally listen to them?

Morality is not subjective. It is not (or at least should not) be based on emotions.

Of course. But one can hope for insight and help in answering it, no?

But, given that Trump will very likely be as bad or worse, why give him the chance? Just to be able to make the statement?

If no, it’s not okay to take drugs to make yourself better, then why would you let your doctor prescribe you meds? I wouldn’t want to take meds for no reason. (Or worse, meds that make me worse off.)

Does heroin make a person better?

ADHD drugs improve people’s ability to focus and concentrate even without effort on the part of the patient. So that’s a counter-example.

Would it make a difference if you were taking the drug to makeup for a deficiency, or if you were taking it to surpass normal ability?
