Re the gullible: Part of their philosophy is having extreme contempt for anyone with general intelligence challenges, as well as against the highly capable whenever they have lapses. It's become so bad over recent decades it's now the air we breathe.
In fact, they're now itching for these unfortunates (and their defenders) to slowly die off in ways that encourage the victims to blame themselves, so that that's how history will record it. Darwin Award winners, haha. This is how they can, seamlessly, vociferously defend democracy in words while ruthlessly destroying it in actions.
Their problem with democracy is a conflation of the sane moral right (of 1 person = 1 vote for representation, i.e. the public's sifting out of conscious liars and unconscious incompetents just as much as making group policy decisions, given an adequate free press etc.) with an insane functional right (of incompetents to directly control and run things).
I had one older man recently explain to me that one person's truth is different from another person's truth..... his way of evading, mentally and conversationally, problematic facts that made his position on the open border ridiculous.
This is basically what liberals mean when they say "it's nuanced!"
Translation into English: glib symbol manipulation can have the gullible thinking black is white and cats are dogs.
