    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.

      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.

      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.
