Great explanation. Not sure how my theory fits into this, but here goes: Ego run amok and willful ignorance. Their ego overrides their survival instinct, making it literally impossible for them to imagine, much less accept, that they’ve been hoodwinked most of their lives. Any info that would support that they’re wrong is immediately dismissed, because they’ve gone too far down the woke-road to admit they aren’t as smart and clever as their posting history proclaims. These people have intellectual blindspots that conveniently support their nonsensical political beliefs.
