How anyone in their right mind, with even a shred of moral fiber and a sense of decency could even consider voting for Republicans these days, is almost impossible to comprehend.
They're just evil. Racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, steal-from-the-poor-and-give-to-the-rich, theocratic loons.
It truly boggles the mind.
@kel Yeah. One would still think they'd have basic skills for critical thinking, which they quite clearly don't. No Bayesian inference at play.
They just seem to be against everything that any normal person would consider good and just.
And if they truly believe they're in an existential fight with EVIL, that itself suggest cult-like thinking.
@Kryptos It is indeed very akin to a cult, but that's the information space that they live in.
That said, they love their kids, same as we do. They want to succeed, same as we do. We work with them every day toward common purposes in personal and professional spaces. If we could focus on those things more and our stereotypical divisions less, perhaps we could get through to some of them—or at least convince them that we aren't EVIL. 🤔
@Kryptos I agree to all of that, but the thing that really gets me is just how amazingly stupid so many of them are!
