Do you think people on GAG who are always trying to convince others of their political beliefs are driven by a seed of doubt?

Like, they are really just trying to convince themselves that their political beliefs are right due a little doubt. It is not a liberal or conservative thing. It is a human thing.

Yes, I think that is largely correct.

No, I don't agree with that.

I think the left-wing nut jobs that constantly post political propaganda are completely hopeless. They are demonically possessed and evil to the core. They can't be helped. That said, if I see lies I post truth and evidence. I'm not trying to persuade anyone.

Yes. Otherwise they'd be psychopath.

The nature of the internet is arguing though. And the first rule on internet arguing is never show weakness, never admit you're wrong about anything. It's always 100% all the time. Lest someone gain ammunition to use against. You.

It's not about what is actually right. It's about being right. Never let pesky facts get in the way of an assertion.😆

The problem is, in my opinion, people are so entrenched in their views, you can’t talk to them.

I'm really no different. I can’t claim to be above it.

it is mostly liberals tht are doing this. They cannot defend their position and their whole identities are tied to ideas that are really ludicrous. It is hard to reconcile that so they try and push their ideas on others to validate themselves.

We see a lot more MAGA trolls.

Yes, lots of them are just like that.
