They probably lack the capacity for that kind of introspection to develop a position. They just repeat what other people tell them and then believe it because there's a sort of logic to it. Testing something for veracity once it's past the coherence test is beyond a lot of people. Lots don't even make it that far. Conservatives have an entirely different system for evaluating things, it starts and ends with what the man says it is.
Ain't that the truth. Until we can educate ourselves out of this, we are completely fucked.
And the right has been aware of this for decades and (in the US at least) has systematically sabotaged public education in order to prevent this type of thought.
Which is just so collosally stupid and short sighted.
