Responded to his shitty Biden Crackpipe meme with the :citations-needed: episode criticizing the Biden response to this absolute shitshow of racist misinformation. His initial response was “I don’t know what reality is anymore”. When I suggested it’s clearly not listening to :live-tucker-reaction: shit. He is like “but my property rights”.

      The response "I don’t know what reality is anymore" is really good there. It's incredibly difficult to deconstruct their ideology because it's so incoherent and based upon an assumed confusion. It's based around a detachment from any source of information other than learned gut instinct. So often it feels like they believe in nothing at all and it's all a game they play in their head, because nothing in reality is reliable anymore.

      A lot of the time evidence doesn't even matter, they feel it's correct and that's good enough. Like how my family doesn't care JFK was a Democrat, he feels like a Republican to them and JFK Jr definitely feels alive too. They're alienated from all sources of reliable information including their own eyeballs.

      A lot of time their ideology can be boiled down to something as simple as "I'm not gay and refuse to be perceived as gay." And then you're just stuck, because leftist politics are inherently gay to them.
