I think one of the key problems in conservatism - heck, maybe I would even say politics generally across the spectrum.
Far, far too many people are just slaves to their confirmation bias.
They start from a myopic place of conspiracy theorizing and then fall prey to nutters who “make a good point”.
Then, it’s off to races — the nutty crazy person once said something that tickled you on a PodYouRumbletiktok.
So, so many examples of this. Candace Owens. Yeesh, it just depresses to make a list.
Think for yourself. Have principles. By all means, be skeptical of government: It’s a core conservative principle. But falling in love with loudmouth morons because they once - or twice or three times - said something like that makes you clap like a trained seal?
Well said!
Yes, very well said.
