Or in this case, the point where they stop sticking.

1. Alas! The hard truth comes up against ........what? Our inability to accept the hard truth. n/t

[KS Toronado]

2. I understand what you're saying & agree

Because Rs have a real inability to accept the hard truth.

[Silent3]

3. Republicans have a much, much worse case of this problem

But Democrats aren't totally free from not accepting inconvenient truths (just look at the number of people who react to every bad-for-dems poll as if it must have been rigged by the pollster, for example), or being hostile to non-tribe-accepted opinions that might have some merit.

4. Oh, I know, look how many of us are still unvaccinated.

I do so tire of the endless appeals to authority fallacies.

8. A saying by Confucius

"Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth." Let us hope.

13. Say good night Dick.

Good night Dick.

10. Someone in the WH said that during the Bowling Green Massacre a couple of years back

she didn't come across as too credible, so I think that's when they brought in their Rock of Truth, Kayla "Iwill never lie to you" Macanurney.

11. Yay! Non Sequitor!

12. The awful truth.

[Upthevibe]

16. Great cartoon

[Sympthsical]

17. Man, this has been all of last week online for me

And this week isn't looking much better.

18. It all starts with religion!

As Voltaire said:

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

or actually

qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste.

The nature of the absurdity is irrelevant to its power.
