    Democrats 8.5 times more likely to believe that you can kill granny by breathing on her, that the world is ending any decade now and that history began Feb 22, 2022.

    Modern conservatism/populism is a set of contradictory notions. The reason why is that they exist to achieve the goals of big, corporate America by using fake, smokescreen reasons.

    You have to get people to believe blindly that a set of contradictory notions are true so a faith and propaganda based ecosystem is necessary.

    Liberals are generally more discerning than conservatives. They demand a source for everything …

    I’ve always said the right is more drawn to authority figures. It starts at church, with preachers/priests. Then look at AM radio personalities.

    The nature of the left is too fractious to be drawn by authority figures. That’s why attempts a left wing media personalities and news networks more often than not fail.

    Democrats 8.5 times more likely to believe studies which themselves caution that they should be taken with a grain of salt.

    The right believes people, the left believes text written by people.

    Based on the tendencies, both will be worshiping the same AI overlord.

    The funniest part of this thread is that the too hot liberals have proved the OP wrong by believing a link to RAW STORIES.

    From the abstract linked in the OP:

    This working paper has not been peer reviewed.”
    Carry on.

    So liberals didn't fall for Joe Biden's flat out lies? Or do they only care about things like this when they think Trump's family is involved?

    I've never seen a poster here dismiss Joe Biden s gaffs as being true ... But there is a world of difference between saying "debt" when you mean "deficit", or getting a guys name wrong in a personal story ...verse Trump saying he 'won the election by a lot' and you guys nodding your heads in unison to that and every other lie he tells.

    A keen observation. There are definitely no righties that take a text… like, say… The Bible literally. Nope. It’s all those radical fundamentalist Bible thumpin’ leftists.

    You are right in one way, there is a difference between believing a lie and knowing a man is lying but accepting it anyway because it is what you want to hear.
