Not really. Where does it say anything about a deterrent which isn't used doesn't deter?

People can hold whatever opinion they like. Even you. And me! Mine is that some opinions are misinformed. As proved by you categorising them as defective. Trust I have cleared that up for you, although I somehow doubt it.

In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats. In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991

Two people can see the same evidence, material and information and come up with two different opinions and that is okay.

Opinions are just that a different perspective of 2 people seeing the same thing differently which is fairly normal in everyday life! Now what I personally find very unnerving is when facts (generally a yes/no type answers) get moved into the grey area!! Many political examples include: classified documents, laptops, sexual relationship, email deletion etc! People in positions of power just lie, lie and lie again and that is seen as acceptable! Very difficult to parent the next generation and beyond! All the above enabled by money and influenced by the media!

You understand this perfectly well and are just being pedantic. The practicality is that if people are not convinced that something could be used then it won’t deter. Nuclear arsenals deter not because they aren’t regularly used but when they were the results were catastrophic. They were used. Just enough to deter. Walls don’t deter on their own. If machine gunners are going to kill you if you try to climb over then they will. Otherwise people will try to find ways to get over, under or around them. This is a very silly, pointless conversation.

Untrue. There are many opinions that I might disagree with but can understand and respect. There are others based on misinformation. Two different things.

Trump being the worst example in modern times with the serious idea that “alternative facts”:exist. Thus giving him the freedom to declare what’s true and what isn’t. That’s really scary.

Silly and pointless compared to trying to convince people on a Crystal Palace fansite that a presidential candidate in another country isn't a good choice? OK.
