... and there's not a thing you can do about it. To try to comprehend their compulsive focus on things like this is nearly impossible, if you yourself are not wired that way. My wife has often said... 'If I can just get [right wing person] to read this, maybe...' Doesn't work that way. They do not think or process info the same way. To a degree - a very tiny degree - I can give them somewhat of a pass, as there does appear to be a genetic component at play, at least with some % of them. And the fascist movement began targeting these folks, beginning 50 years ago, because they had that genetic propensity.
