“Why do so few get this, especially on FR as supposedly “conservative” website?”
Because they don’t want to “get it”. They are thinking emotionally, like liberals do. That’s why logic doesn’t seem to penetrate. You can’t argue logically with someone who is clinging to a notion because it pleases them emotionally.
Ridicule is just about the only thing I know of that can counteract that. You have to fight emotions with stronger emotions.
Well, this government thing is strong stuff - you could almost call it a stronghold. I mean if so-called “conservatives” are so emotionally attached to that which is really the opposite of what they are calling themselves, then it is strong medicine indeed - strong delusion and confusion.
It’s a pretty good explanation. Certainly explains why so many uneducated millennials are emotionally attached to Crazy Bernie whose message is totally emotional but who in fact wants to take all their money and have all power over them. Insanity. Hitler. Same as it ever was, I guess. Nothing new I suppose.
I’ll say it again - Lord, help us.
