      The mental gymnastics required to remain conservative is impressive. I think much of conservatism is letting your brain rot and buying into the conspiracy.

      I suspect some of these people were not dumb originally, but it’s an all consuming cult. I wonder if we should start treating conservatives like cult members and try to break them out.
