I am so tired of this type of logical fallacy that tries to discredit a person’s current position on the basis of an ancient position held 10, 15, or 20 years in the past. The critic denies the person the right to change their mind.I would hope people change their mind on subjects as they mature, learn more, and ponder the subject.
Ronald Reagan moved from being a Dem to a Rep.Norma McCorvey (the Roe in Roe v Wade) is now Roman Catholic and active in pro-life movement.
It would be a sure bet that every critic who uses this ancient v modern comparison to discredit someone likewise has opinions that have changed over time and that they would be embarrassed to reveal.
