So many right wingers now are just chumps who don’t care about the truth. A guy I used to work with (an intelligent and (I had thought) reasonable guy) is convinced that “democrats want as many undocumented immigrants in the country as possible.” I asked him where he got that idea. I asked him for any evidence to support his claim. He had none, of course. But he wouldn’t budge an inch from his conviction.
That is just one typical example of the types of false beliefs that people who watch/read right-wing propaganda hold. So many of their views are the product of propaganda and have no basis in truth. But they don’t care.
That makes them chumps. But they don’t see that. “I’m nobody’s chump,” the guy said. Well it’s staring you in the face; I don’t know how you can’t see that you’re a chump. You have false beliefs. They’ve been pointed out to you. You have no evidence for them. These ideas can be found nowhere but in right-wing propaganda. You’re a chump. But they don’t see that they’re chumps. It doesn’t appear that they ever will.
Unfortunately, they vote based on these false beliefs. Right-wing media are destroying our country.
