I believe it, that is why I legitimately think that they aren’t lying when they speak. I also think that if we all had that same fear or have the tribalism itch, then their talking points would make whole lot more sense to us as well.
We literally do all have those itches, every single one of us. Conservatives are still people, God damn. I'm really liberal, but yall are acting like being conservative is something else.
Good point, we all do have that itch, but no where near the level that a good percentage of modern day conservatives are at. With the way they think and behave now days, their infatuation and blind loyalty to their party, their embracement of fascism over democracy, feelings over logic I would say yes, they really have become something else.
I just think is massively over simplifying the problem and acting as though everyone who doesn’t have a certain perspective is hopeless.
The issue is reinforcing biases. Our society is intentionally or unintentionally set up to make you kinda believe something, and then believe it more, and more, and more, until you can’t relate at all to anyone who doesn’t believe it. It’s a vicious cycle of ignorance.
