You’ll never get him to agree, because his entire worldview relies not on facts but on controlling the conversation.

It’s immaterial to him if he is right or not.

Reactionaries are inherently anti-intellectual, because it allows dim dipshits to hold court and have their ideas treated by their fellow regressive peers as the equivalent of that of people who actually know what they’re talking about.

It’s so much easier to “know” things when you can make up whatever bullshit you want or can cite another boot-licker who is also using motivated reasoning and magical thinking.

Do you think he cares that Republicans tried to have a Fascist coup before?

Or that Regan was flooding inner cities with cocaine?

Or that the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by a Democrat?

He doesn’t give a fuck, because all he cares about is projecting the appearance of being correct. The actual facts are irrelevant.
