Because the article dealt with a serious academic analysis of the subject, not just some blogger's speculation.
And as the events of Jan 6 showed, very clearly -- the issue at hand is far from abstract.
- ShamelessC 5y agoFair enough. I agree; but I honestly have no idea what positions to hold anymore when it comes to the massive cognitive dissonance of a population of people who have been tricked into thinking they _aren't_ involved with the death of democracy. They refuse to give up and admit what happened was horrifying that day, instead endlessly deferring to whataboutisms and obvious defense mechanisms. It's just not good discussion; and it feels inevitable lately. Everything feels so broken.
