They know they are full of shit. The know they are lying.

They are just evil cunts that spread hate and lies to manipulate people.

I've said it before. There are only 2 types of right wingers. They are either stupid or evil. Sometimes both. But it's always at least one of the 2.

True, but I know people who are other categories. They have mental and/or social issues. The big social issue is tribalism - some go along to get along to survive in their social and work environments.

I know plenty of people with social issues that try to support others instead of being whiny conservatives and shit. Social issues are important to consider in how to address a lot of that stuff but the people themselves, at some point, need to take responsibility for acting out like they do.

That falls under the stupid category.

I know some intelligent Trumpets, and the mental gymnastics they make is a Simone Biles level event.

Maybe that's "evil" but they see themselves as "good" and doing the right thing.

I think it's a third category. "Brainwashed", or something.
