Reply to comment by iiioiia in Our stated political beliefs are irrational when taken as a package – the don’t appear to form coherent wholes. But we should be skeptical about whether these irrational political beliefs are really beliefs by IAI_Admin

I suppose I could form strong beliefs like Republicans do, based on what Fox News says. I mean why trust my eyes when I could just trust talking heads. Remember, critical thinking is a tool of the left, you should skip it unless you want to be woke. There is no room for thought on the right.
Facts slide off Republicans like Teflon.

Trusting either may not be wise.

Is this to say that all people on the left are good at critical thinking, or even a majority of them are?

What does this even mean?

Perhaps you should give the rules on the sidebar a read.

Well, you are incorrect once again.
I'm genuinely curious: why do you do this? Granted, it's surely plenty of fun, but still. It seems to me to be contrary both to your implied desires as well as your literal words.
