 imo they think with their heart in a lot of cases and can't separate fact from the story they got told. the left leaning friends I have are wrapped up in one of these narratives and have a bit of ends justify the means attitude about it:

-orange man bad, fascist, Hitler must be stopped
-they honestly believe they are standing up for a marginalized group
-save the climate, save the planet

All rational talk of economics, math, authoritarianism, inflation, can't navigate to their heart 
 creeps me out 🧟‍♂️ 
 agreed, me too, guard your heart  
 bro… with brain chips, mRNA, and this kind of thinking, I’m high tailing it out of Babylon
