Wow its like they want us to be stupid - Lemmy.world

That’s literally the whole point. I actually had a functional (as functional as it can be) conversation with one of these far right “Science is fake and evil blahblah” people recently, she outright said it.

^(paraphrased as fuck)

“So you think we should not know anything about how the world around us works, or have any access to information except for the whims of some arbitrary pastor?”

“That is our natural state, Adam and Eve knew nothing and they lived in bliss. Eve ate the apple and doomed us to the misery of knowledge”

Yet she supports teaching what’s in her book, just not other things 🤔
I really think even outside of religious circles that’s the problem with the right. This obsession with “thinking is hard” mentalities. I can’t even send an article about something to some people, completely unrelated to politics, without being accused of being political because it has more words than a Facebook meme.

It’s funny. I’ve had more republicans stop telling about stuff other republicans are doing…

… because it makes them uncomfortable.

Okay, but you know what makes more people uncomfortable? All this bullshit being done by a political party they vote for.

If that makes you uncomfortable… maybe don’t vote for them…

Single issue voters who aren’t particularly evil BUT don’t mind extreme evil in the service of their single issue. Basically all Republican “single issues” also have some organization spending billions to convince those single issue types that “Yeah we want to genocide trans and whatnot but if we don’t literally overthrow the govt a Democrat will KICK YOUR FUCKING DOOR IN AND SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE TO STEAL YOUR GUN/BIBLE/WHATEVER”
