    When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don’t care about engaging with reality. It’s a deflection tactic.

      Yup. That’s exactly why he’s voting for Harris this time around. All those bad faith arguments.

      No, but it took a while to get him off Fox News. He didn’t vote in the 2020 presidential election either (or maybe he voted for some other republican jackass. I forget.)

      He grew up thoroughly republican. It’s taken a while to break the brainwashing, but it can be done.

      They will never even look at the source. It goes beyond simple lack of curiosity, their brain has created a sort of defense mechanism that will prevent them from ever actually comprehending that they could be wrong about something. So they will do everything to avoid being in a situation that could lead to them learning something new.

      Because nothing is more important than never being wrong about anything, ever.
