Who Luthered?

A common mistake many people make is believing that if only the "truth" were revealed, everyone in the world agree on a given topic.

This just isn't the case. For a large variety of reasons people have varying political viewpoints. It doesn't help the left, or the right, or the center for that matter, to simply expect that others will agree with them when those others are shown what the left/right/center believes to be the "truth". For example, time and again, I hear left wingers talk about how if only the american people knew the truth about Bush, then they would not support him anymore. Bush's reelection has shown this not to be the case. Bush's support only started to wane after he came out with any number of unpopular policies, not because people finally started figuring out the "truth" about this administration.

While this strain of thought in american politics probably goes back to "these truths to be self evident", I think there is a more underlying behavioral trait at work. Consequently, we need a good verb for this type of thinking. Therefore I am proposing "Luthered" as this verb, in honor of Martin Luther and his 95 theses. This way we can say, "those hippies thought everyone would agree with them when they had their protest to shed light on that thing they care about, but in reality no one agreed with them at all. Man those hippies luthered that issue pretty badly."

Sometime later, I will explain how propaganda* is good and those on the left should use it instead of Luthering issues all the time.

*I meant to say "advertising" not "propaganda", my bad.
