Going into conversations with the staunch belief that you are correct and that evidence is ad hoc. You can either convert to my way of thinking or be foolish.
Nuance that changed my mind could never change theirs when it’s spoken from my mouth. It’s actually deeply frustrating for me and makes me feel like I’m not being listened to no matter how much I try to validate them until the anger is pushed down in my mind. The incuriosity that they might be wrong, the ignorance that the world may not be as it seems to you, or the lack of awareness of what a persuasive argument looks like makes me want to detach from a person. I try with active listening to be able to see other points of view so when I don’t get it in return it sucks. It just so happens that’s also how libs talk to lefties on some “Bernie is my abusive grandpa” shit.

Fantastic way to sum up their thought process. I’ve rambled inanely about it in the past, but there it is, just in two sentences. They refuse to consider that their position is an incorrect one. I wish I knew how to get people out of that mindset, because people like that are the prime target for grifters and con artists.
