11. Here's my take

garnered from living among them (SW AZ until I move later this year; I can't take it anymore): they live in an alternate reality where Bill and Hillary are murderous drug dealers, red don was a great president, Biden is a bad president, we need to be terrified of "illegals", criminals, etc., taxes are theft, doing anything to help others via government action is socialism, there is no income inequality, the Democrats cater to rich Hollywood elites and Bezos, hence Democrats are just as corrupt towards the rich as republicans with the latter's tax cuts, COVID is a plot by the Chinese to hurt the West, the climate is changing (they are forced to admit this because this area is noticeably hotter each year) but not from human activity, etc. etc. etc.

There is no talking to them that will change the way they look at the world. Fox and other RW media, their churches, etc. have re-wired their brains and they are GONE.
