And I doubt you'll find many who agree with your assertion that it's not important to get facts straight and discuss things in a true way. I get that we're in the post-truth era, but it seems like poor form to spread misinformation or, in your case, call any highlighting of that misinformation unimportant. Stopping the spread of misinformation is at least equally important to bad prognosticating about future events.

It's not that things can't lead to future events, it's that most people who use the slippery slope end up at events that are not logical or remotely likely results on the present day action they're trying to warn against. You can do it better without a clunky and outright stupid slippery slope. I mean, you actually said political violence of antifa might lead to acceptable religious violence. Have you never read a history book?

Huh?
