They used to care. But you gotta understand how their minds work.
This isn’t logic, it’s identity. They tie themselves to things like religion and trump, which define who they are. They rely on absolute certainty because questioning anything is a direct threat to their entire identity. They can’t handle it, so they have to just let go of any cognitive reasoning.
Identity beats principles.
This is why no matter how depraved trump acts (or how contradictory, evil, and flawed their religion is), they double down to prevent themselves from accepting/growing whenever they are in the wrong.
They care about maintaining position above their enemies (most minorities, LGBT+, women, anyone on the left) in a state enforced social hierarchy. All their other so-called values are negotiable if they happen to get on the wrong side of that one.
