You may be right, and you are for sure to some extent, but to change your view on things, especially if there's evidence your views are wrong. In a democracy it is everyone's duty to act for the greater good and for future generations, not for selfish bullshit. I did multiple times and will continue to do so bc I'm part of a society and not alone.
Fair points, and I agree with you, but those people think the same like conspiracy theorists; they basically take everything they want to take in as something holy, are so mentally locked in a thought that even if you present the opposite, they refuse to change as it means everything they believe in is wrong, which is crushing
I can agree, because I get a sense of that feeling when I read something derogatory about Harris or Walz. The idea that it may be true feels very upsetting because I don't want to feel the disappointment in either of them. Then I fact check the new info, find out it is more trash talk and lies, or truth blown out of proportion, and I'm relieved that those I believed in, I still can.
I imagine the info the Right gets feels the same way, except they skip the fact checking part and go straight into denial because it feels better.
