That’s when you find out it’s not about belief, it’s about tribalism. It’s essentially a religion (or a cult).

Their friends are idiots. The people they look up to are idiots. It’s extremely difficult to separate someone from their “tribe” because that’s where they feel safest.

You can use logic and reality with them only until they run back to is their faith.

Americanism is a new religion. Good luck reasoning with it.
