That’s the problem: reality has nothing to do with their views of the world whatsoever
Conservatives exist in a world of emotion. Facts exist to support emotion. If the facts don't fit the emotion, they are discarded. I don't know about you but I'd call that stupid. Idiotic. That's how toddlers are.
We need to stop treating these people like reasonable adults because they are not. You wouldn't let a toddler hold office. You shouldn't let a conservative, either. The toddler would do better, because they're usually not so cruel and often have potential to grow.
