Liberals and leftists may believe this, but the sad reality of our species is that we're not a logical creature, and at the end of the day, we care far, far more about interpersonal perceptions and feelings than we do about consistency or logical, fair argument.
And this is really serious, we have to understand this better. We have a minority of the population running roughshod over entire nations and constitutions and even the social contract because the only way we know how to engage with them and fight them is with consistent, good-faith debate, meanwhile on their end, they care far more about aesthetics, appearances, skin color and accent, superficial attitude and beliefs than they do being called out for inconsistency.
This is the Kayfabe Crew, they willingly and knowingly will believe things they know to be untrue because it's more important to them how they feel than what they know. They have made this choice and our inability to engage them on this level has created walls that will keep us from having success.
Let us all remember and mourn the days that Tim Waltz was calling them "weird" and making more political waves for it than years of statistics and data and debate, before being muzzled by the democratic party for not being a boring shade of inoffensive grey.
