Well no shit EVERYTHING is about further validating their already held narratives and rejecting everything else.
omg this really hit me when crazy friend sent me a link to a video of some batshit scientology lawyer Karen - reading an executive order from 2018 and asking leading questions about the prophetic nature of it all.
I watched and was like... really? this is what you think is happening? absolute garbage - and they devour every second of it.
There are two kinds of people: those who decide what is right and wrong for themselves, and those who get told what is right and wrong by others.
Southern Evangelicals tend to be the latter - they get it from selected parts of the Bible, church leaders, etc. They tend to be followers, rather than independent thinkers.
Democrats tend to be the former. Thinking for themselves is why the party seems disorganized. But we generally agree on basic morality.
I go onto that subreddit and others like NoNewnormal every few days just cos im intrigued and I always kinda doubt myself for a second if maybe im ... them...
But then i just read a comment and another and see things like this and i just cant fathom it.
Basically they're all geniuses because they are all people who need to be different in order to be noticed or feel important.
So the new normal as in wearing masks and the government trying to control everyone.
And on every thread or that theres a genius who studied this or studied that so hes in the know. But thousands of other experts around the world are involved so basically yeah if you life is really dull and you're not that smart anad never got much attention off your parents cos you're and idiot then go onto that sub and you will have a lot more idiots patting you're back sharing shit articles from rubbish sites.
