The dilemma of being a right-wing kook...

[brooklynite]

You hate Chris Christie because he's a RINO and a tool of the "Establishment Party", so you're happy he's in trouble...

...but you hate the New York Times and the "Liberal Media" so you can't trust the story about Christie...

...and you hate the "DemocRATS" for benefiting from Christie's problems, thus setting up the election of HILLARY!, so you don't want him to be blamed...

1. They are largely or completely immune to cognitive dissonance

They can do all of those things simultaneously and not even notice there are any conflicts.

The same way they can worship "the Prince of Peace" and happily advocate turning the entire Middle East into a glass lake with nukes.

2. Fanatics, by their unthinking nature, just accept paradox and move on

Pointing it out isn't going to trip them up.

3. I used to get really frustrated with them until I read Dr Altemeyer's book

Once I realized their true nature authoritarians got a lot easier to deal with.

Now I avoid arguing, I just ask them innocent questions until they get pissed off and shut up or leave. You can tie them in knots with a little Socratic dialog.

What's most interesting is that you can ask them why they are pissed off and they can't tell you that either.
