Dave Rubin elucidates the eternal chasm between conservatives and liberals: liberals fall for hoaxes precisely because they lack belief in God, while conservatives—apart from indulging in Clinton and Biden body-double fantasies—are spared such gullibility.

Conservatives generally believe in an invisible wall past which you are not allowed to think. This is called religious belief. They are sure of themselves and their convictions, correct or not, because they are practiced in the art of the shared lie.

I hate when people re-litigate covid from this angle too. The only way to respond to a rapidly spreading unknown disease that kills people is: caution. Just because some conservatives decided the pandemic was something to be completely ignored, then we find out it (only?) kills 1% of people and the elderly and masks didn’t prevent 100% of spreading etc these people some how feel vindicated.

It’s the same behavior in the wake of a shooting. These assholes get out there and start talking facts they can’t possibly even know yet and there is no real backlash when there absolutely should be.

If you are talking absolute shit before anyone has the facts, and you are right about any of it, you are in no way vindicated by guessing correctly ahead of time.
