That's a difference between left and right. Conservatives value in-group loyalty more than truth or consistency. They fall in line. Feels good in their brain.
This is an effective strategy, at least unless whatever objective reality they're rejecting catches up with them.
Conservatives are dishonest. They don't care about truth or consistency. Their only value is in-group loyalty. They will say anything in pursuit of that and personal power.

In the King James Version, this is translated as:
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I don't understand what he wants the pedestrian to do. Not cross at all? Wait until there's no traffic?
Management are assholes and idiots.
Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.
But if I've learned anything from history, it's that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.
Right? I often like being around people. I don't want to do it in the fucking office
Honestly, many conservatives have such bad empathy this might move the needle. If it's not happening to them, they don't understand
My current partner I got to try FromSoft games. Sekiro did not go well for them.
I'm mostly the same.
I often think about one time a friend invited me to play "DND". I get there and it's revealed it's not DND, but a different RPG. I was like "ok hold on..." and spent like 20 minutes skimming the book while we all ate pizza and settled down.
By the time we started I knew the rules as well as everyone else, which was admittedly a low bar.
The authors are (typically) trying to write the rules in a way for you to understand. It's not a puzzle.
Of course, being familiar with the genre helps immensely.
One friend sort of explained it to me. It's anxiety. They were afraid they weren't learning fast enough, or were playing badly, or other people were judging them. Fear shuts down the brain. You're explaining to them, "You can take three actions on your turn" but they're not hearing you - they only hear anxiety-fear-screams
Every time this happens, it's worse the next time. It's one more example of "humiliation" on the stack. Even if no one else thought there was anything amiss.
Whenever a chat bot is aggressively presented on a website, I like to ask it how to disable all AI features. Often it will tell me to click on menu options that don't exist.
This is jamming up my heuristics. I don't trust anything coming out of Florida , and certainly not when a trump ally is involved. But also fuck Altman.
