Part of it is because truth is sometimes like the elephant being described by a group of blind people. There are so many different aspects to focus on.
Certainly true, and if the leg guy and the trunk guy and the tail gal are all doing there best in good faith to learn then share the truth about that part of the elephant, then that's the way we reach consensus. But if the TFH folks start out with the claim that the thing in the room is radioactive, arose by spontaneous generation, is from Andromeda Galaxy and is an emissary of Yahweh, those two groups of "seekers" will not have a meeting of minds, without any common ground in what used to be called REALITY and FACT. Sigh...
Seems like #8 is the kicker here. Trump losing in November doesn't fix this and it could make it worse. These folks live in such an information bubble that it's inconceivable to them that Trump could lose next month. If he does lose. it'll have to be a conspiracy in their minds.
Agreed. We need to make a serious effort to know the enemies of science, fact, of the Good and of the Right, the latter, collateral damage when the TRUTH is put to death.
