On many issues...we agree there is a problem, and we know what the end result should look like, we just disagree on how to get there.Of course, that isn't true. On some issues we can all agree there is a right and a wrong, but on other issues it's simply a matter of opinion. But convincing yourself that the world is simple and binary certainly does excuse you from having to do the heavy lifting of communicating with others, considering and analyzing other ideas or new ideas, and -- horror of horrors -- occasionally changing your mind or admitting you were wrong.There is a right or wrong on every issue.
There is fact, and there is opinion. Two different things.
Wingers confuse fact with opinion because they are intellectually lazy and terribly narcissistic. I'm always right, you're always wrong. I don't want to hear it. I will not even consider anything else. That's it. My side has all the answers. No listening, no thinking, just attacking.
Then they exist in their ideological vacuums, their echo chambers, and harden themselves further to their little worlds. The internet has been great for that.
