They have gotten to the point where they have stopped trying to convince the world or even a majority in the United States. Their total focus is in convincing each other. They actually now believe there are two completely separate but equally valid realities which can be achieved by VOTING.

Don't like global warming? Vote for the people who say it's a hoax and it will BECOME a hoax. They really believe EVERYTHING can be controlled by their special powers. Their mind over matter wills. They believe they can create reality through their worship of themselves. To top it off, they are SUCKERS for their own rhetoric.

Conservatives are best described as being like a private club of people who put shit in their hair. Amongst themselves they compliment each other on how they part it and the fine art of achieving the proper color and texture but when they go out in public all everyone sees is a bunch of shit heads.
