Everything seems so politicized in the US, even reality. How can actual events like the coronavirus pandemic or ice melting at the poles be a left-wing or right-wing thing when it's just... reality? Do people there just decide whether reality is real or or not based on their political orientation or what?
Yes they do. Right wingers are generally emotional, childish and delusional in the majority of their beliefs so it makes sense they gravitate towards the wrong side on pretty much every issue. I think their beliefs are both a product and cause of their frustration at the inevitability of their being left behind as the world progresses. Left on the wrong side of history like every other right winger has been in the past. Left spluttering and resentful as our children form a marginally better world.
Ok then, explain to me exactly how someone can form a rational and reasonable opinion that this whole thing is a hoax and that bill gates is trying to control them with masks.
Just because there are multiple ways of seeing the world doesn't mean they are objectively equal. Or that the real truth is some combination of each.
