It's never been about following the evidence or maximizing the number of true things they believe or minimizing the number of false things they believe. It's about circling the wagons around their shared conservative interests and fighting off the relentless liberal hordes. The end justifies the means in their view.

It's whatever people want to believe is true. And I thought he was stupid, but it's his listeners that he believes are stupid...and he's right.
And they embrace this "truth" and will die with it in their arms.
