One of today's conundrums is whether to compare politicians and political activists to Winston Churchill's definition of a fanatic or to Talleyrand's description of the French Bourbons after the restoration of of the monarchy in 1814.
Churchill said:
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
Talleyrand's description of the Bourbons was:
"They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing."
Pick your political party. These statements seem to apply to both of ours!
