re: visiting conservative-land, politics

I like to ask my friends to really Get Inside the heads of these conservatives who Bought In, Years ago.
I like to ask Them to imagine growing up in a World where the Truth was Curated, people were Expected to Conform, and ever since then, Non-conformity has been the best way to distinguish yourself.
But they were punished every step of the way for Non-conformism. Now, of course, we're breaking free from that era, but many people want to go back to a News Caster telling them The Truth, and their world can be Simple again. Which is never gonna happen.
So, they shut down. The world is awash in new information, and they're Illiterate. There's Real Truth to be found, but it's big and messy and requires a major re-evaluation of values and lifestyle and beliefs.
This is what Obsolete Humans look like.
