This is kinda the underlying problem with modern political discourse. One side has gone so far off the deep end that there’s genuinely nothing of value that they are adding to the conversation. “The Jewish Space Lasers are manipulating our weather” just isn’t a position that is worth entertaining.
That being said, it’s still worth reading the literature of the enemy, even if it’s just to know what kinds of ridiculous statements they’re holding as truth. If you don’t know how your opponent’s worldview was constructed, what hope do you have of deconstructing it?
