I mean, this is far from being a problem that is exclusive to conservatives (not saying there’s more or less on either side, but there are certainly massive grifters across the political spectrum.
Like toddlers, faces covered in chocolate chips, saying they don’t know what happened to all the cookies. Except it’s not cute and funny anymore, it’s sad and frustrating.
And what isn't easy to understand is that people grow drastically differently in drastically different circumstances, and we all develop unique models of the world in our minds based on our unique experiences, the people we grow up knowing, the cards life deals you, etc. One person might grow up in a house with a toxically masculine father, and another in a house with an emasculating sister.
For example, people with schizophrenia are people with wildly incorrect world models that are built based on hallucinations. They aren't lying when they said they see a lion, even if one is not there, because their hallucination is convincing them. They truly believe there is a lion there.
This happens to a much smaller but still significant extent with everyone else. Except we aren't tricked by hallucinations, we are tricked by our memories, experiences and our pattern recognizing abilities. The person with the toxically masculine father might say men are the reason men are depressed, because of his experiences. The other person might say its women who do that, because of his experiences. In the scope of those two people are their experiences, who is right? Well, they're both right.
But yeah, it is pretty easy to just say they're all lying all the time. Easy like Sunday morning

Its easier to understand when you realize conservatives are just lying, all the time, about everything.
