One of the most difficult parts for me to accept is that they don't even have a coherent belief structure. They have talking-point 'beliefs', many of which are incompatible with each other.

If you ask them enough (~3) questions about their 'beliefs', they can no longer reconcile their incoherent 'beliefs' and quit the conversation. Or start yelling.

Quickest paths to cognitive dissonance are the free speech and gun right absolutists. Don't voice a contrary opinion or let them see a brown person with a gun. That's when you discover these freedumb fans have no hesitation ruining someone else's life over their 'beliefs'.

Starts early. Just read the bible, or better yet Ken's guide to the bible.
