The Great Debate
Politics have shown
that a strongly worded argument
based on an opinion
manipulated
with fear and anger
will win a debate
against facts
almost
every
time.

I liked the sentiment. One point, I found the 'based on an opinion', as part of the argument, not as powerful as it could be. Especially after the very strong 'manipulated with fear and anger'. Should it not be qualified or altered to make it clearer, biased, prejudiced, uninformed, ignorant? Just a thought.

Thank you for the feedback! Upon re-reading it I see your point. I will play around with it to try to make it say what I want a little more smoothly.
