They do seem to seek out validation for the programing that was administered to them by leftists. They don’t know how to do anything else is mostly likely why. They never learned the critical thinking skills needed to take conversations to a higher level nor have they ever been introduced to them having lived in such an insulated world of ignorance, prejudice, falsehoods, and all-in-one narrow minded narratives. Any introduction to anything above their already low standard of comfort, immediately gets answered with a blast of sophistry and callow responses in the interests of sounding like they are taking the high road. When the inevitable occurs, i.e. the false intellectual facade that they have erected comes tumbling down, then they switch to the name calling, demonizing, and very uncivilized behavior(rudeness, violence of one degree to a higher degree depending on the insane state of the person or group involved).
You’re exactly right DW. They went to college and learned the ways of their masters—how to think, talk, act like them. They’re fed a steady diet of a distorted view of the world and are told that this is the “correct” way to think. After all, why would you be paying so much money to be lied to? I think many of them continue to think this way because to think otherwise is to admit that they were duped....as if the deep fat fryer in front of them doesn’t say that to them daily.
