    I’m no more logical and rational than the guy living on the street corner - in fact, it seems to me it’s the people who claim logic and rationality who turns out to be the easiest to fool with this right-wing bullshit.

      That is called the Dunning Kruger Effect, but it is a fact those who lean right tend to have brains with a larger emotional center and thus think more this way while as you pointed out, claiming they are the rational ones. Even when you bring the facts to the table, they do not sway as that is not how you engage them. Got to be emotional engagement and that is something the rational people like myself often underestimate.
