These people need to be fed this nonsense. They are literally addicted to the narrative.

They get quite angry when you ask, say, for the exact quote where Trump told people to "inject bleach".

They can't find it, they realize he never said it, but then they're mad at you for somehow "defending" Trump by asking them to consult reality instead of the TV.

I think it's true that they are literally addicted to the narrative and rely on it for some kind of high. And then you're crashing their high with facts, so they hate you too.

No, that's not it.

They think he said it, and how DARE you question that he did. You might as well be asking them to prove that water is wet - you are making a RIDICULOUS and unreasonable standard of proof, telling them to confirm it.

This happens all the time. Ask a "conservative" where the weapons of mass destruction were in 2007, or what they were? Ask a democrat in 2016 why they would vote for Hillary Clinton who voted for the Iraq War, and why Trump would be worse?

"People" accept what they hear on the propaganda box, their programming, as absolute truth, because if it wasn't true, why wouldn't anybody point it out to them? What??? YOU point it out? What do YOU know, these people are paid millions of dollars a year, and nobody questions it and surely somebody would if it was false.

And when it's proven to be false "well, nobody could have known... EVERYBODY thought that." "It was an honest mistake." "Well there was very good evidence, but it just turned out to be wrong, who wouldn't think.."

They are incapable of realizing that what they hear on the propaganda box is really propaganda. You might as well be telling them they are like any German was in 1939 but that's what they are.

He didn't of course, but then again, who can tell ClO2 from NaCIO? They both have chorine in them . . . duuuuuh . . . right?

Yeah, I remember pointing out to my FIL that the esteemed Robert Mueller found no Trump Russian collusion. it didn’t matter. He just continued on stating that yes, there was Russian collusion, you better believe there was Russian collusion. No evidence. No evidence needed. It was part of the way he viewed the world. And so I believe that people like this need a simplified story that comports with how they want to view the world, a view that provides them comfort. This is the need that the MSM proaganda machines satisfies. The alternative would have been to question the sources which provide this comfort, and if their 24/7 bleating of Russian collusion was wrong, and if they were so convinced of it, and there wasn't any in reality, then,…..aarrgh. No. no. You better believe there was Russian collusion.
