They start with belief, then warp the facts

They start with belief, then warp the facts | Conservatives fundamentally don't care about facts. They believe in hierarchy, and that "facts" are just whatever upholds that hierarchy, regardless of what reality shows. That's why they always support Trump no matter what-in their eyes, he is by definition good, and therefore facts are true if they are pro-trump, and false if anti-Trump | image tagged in lisa simpson's presentation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Normal people start with "looking at the evidence" then decide their conclusions based on the evidence.

Conservative people start with an assumption about who is good and evil, in a hierarchy, and always presume that all facts must support it; Anything that makes top of hierarchy (trump) look bad cannot be true, anything that makes bottom of hierarchy (minorities) look bad must be true.
That is why JD Vance defended his "they're eating cats and dogs" hoax with "I'm warning people about the danger". He admitted that they didn't actually do that; To him, the danger is brown people existing.

Confirmation bias is not limited to the political right, and as far as 'making people look bad'. .
people make themselves look bad all the time without any help from others.

"They start with belief, then warp the facts." You have it all figured out, don't you. The lack of introspection on the part of 'progressive' ideologues begs belief.

You're literally performing a "no u" right now.

The lack of introspection on bot accounts begs belief.

Ad Hominem because you have no legitimate refutation. Because conservatism doesn't promote logic, only emotion and greed.

A "no u" argument doesn't make it invalid or untrue.
Emotion and greed isn't what 'conservatism' promotes. But you aren't interested in 'facts'.

The literal definition of conservatism is a hierarchical system where some people are served, while others are undesirables. Exactly as described. You on the other hand have presented no facts and no arguments besides "no u"

You 'literal' definition of conservatism is nothing like the common understanding of the the word. We don't live in Orwell's world, yet, that seeks to redefine the meaning of words and by which means control thought. Not yet. And it is something that 'conservatism' would find repugnant.

Thats exactly what it is: Maintaining the existing or traditional order. Which is exactly the hierarchy I described.

Nice projection. You, as a conservative, want to hurt certain people and uphold the hierarchy and believe it must exist. I, as a progressive, believe in equality and don't want to "ruin" things for everyone, I want to make it better.

Every accusation from a conservative is projection. Turns out the GOP was the secret pedophile ring all along!
