So they have no capacity to think logically, not even a tiny bit? Or do they just have no capacity in remembering stuff?

[-] TheHighRoad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They are literally brainwashed. I do not know what the solution to that is.

They don’t want to think. At all. Just listen to what they’re told by fox or Facebook and get comfort in hating some group(s) “ worse than them “ while they believe they’re better than most people. They’re fully delusional.

Nah, worse than that. The root of the conservative pathology is self-hatred. They fear that they are worthless, shit people. A person who believes that they are better than everybody else can sit smugly in the corner and be superior in peace. Conservatives need near-constant reassurance that other people are worse than themselves, hence the performative cruelty they crave.

They are also too cowardly to live freely, so they end up hating actual freedom and those that enjoy it because they hate themselves for allowing their freedom to be robbed by their ideology.

They are terminally uncurious. Explaining to his cult individually that he has said things himself they can listen to is baffling to them. They only hear it through their filter of choice.

I think you are giving them far too much credit. Just as there are short people and tall people and skinny and fat, there are people that don't have a lot going on upstairs. When I heard that 50% of people don't have an inner monologue I was astounded. I thought it not to be true. That someone had to have fucked up. Seeing all this play out, it makes way more sense.

It's a real problem if you ask me. The older I get the easier it is to notice in people.
