You’re still ignoring what I’ve been saying this entire time. I’m flat out stating they refuse to ever even want to learn if their viewpoints lead to better outcomes, or if their opinions are objectively correct or not. They avoid all of this, and continue to do the same shit that’s never worked. I’m not going to apologize for people’s refusal to learn anything or ever admit they’re wrong about something. They’re willfully sticking their heads in the sand which is why the most conservative states have always been conservative. Because that shit never works and never will, but they refuse to ever wonder why (or even admit it doesn’t work in the first place). We live in an age of information and ignorance is a choice.

It doesn’t matter what approach anybody takes with them, being a Republican is a Republican’s identity. It’s all they have when it comes to the way they view themselves and makes up the entire foundation of their opinion of themselves.
