Not really, or at least that isn’t primarily what’s happening now. I can’t speak for everyone but I take issue with their blatant refusal to acknowledge facts as facts. Opinions are by definition subjective. Facts are not.
For example, if you repeat Trump’s lies when he says “I never said ‘lock her up’.” then that is not an opinion, that is a factually incorrect statement. There are tons of ways to prove that he did in fact say that on multiple occasions. You don’t get to hide behind ignorance when you’re wrong about an objective fact. It doesn’t stop them from trying but it doesn’t change reality either. That’s the kind of thing people get shit on for most. Not policy disagreements or whatever else conservatives want to pretend they’re being shit on for.
i remember the days of “you won’t change their minds by shitting on their opinions!! we need to respect their viewpoint!!!”
yea. look where that got us…
We constantly shit on their opinions…
