    Ever talk to someone about politics only for them to come to a dead stop? They reached the end if their script. I’ve had so many unwilling conversations with right wingers regurgitating what they just heard without actually thinking about what they’re saying.

      I don’t think it’s just right wingers, I’ve seen people that just regurgitate information in most social groups I’ve been in, including lefty communities.

        Information is fine. A lot of people just regurgitate talking points and clearly have no idea what they mean. I call it bumper sticker politics, and both sides are guilty of it (“Go woke go broke!” “Corporations aren’t people!”). If your entire belief structure can be boiled down to one sentence that you don’t even understand, you are not helping.
