For me the biggest leap backwards for republicans is when they decided that truths of science and logic were debatable without showing proof. They turned their backs on the simplest of scientific facts like the man made part of global warming, chemistry, and have now come to the conclusion that our planet is okay by doing nothing more than what we are doing now, which is polluting it. They don't see the income inequality which is math and pretend that it is those who have little are to blame. Funny how that works when the institutions of government create unfair opportunities. They fail to consider that women who birth these men, are equal to men on foundational levels, biology, and continue to treat them and those of color as second class citizens when we all share the same DNA and other genetics generally.
The republican party has moved so far away from logic and common sense just to justify their obedience to dirty energy, the nra, and right wing nationalism, kkk. So if logic or science gets in the way of their narrative then the logic and science are the problem. Much like a child who insists that a square peg will go into a round hole. How can the tradition of being a republican be so encompassing that folks will go to any length to pretzel the logic to fit the narrative? To the point of irrationality and dumbfoundeness. Is the loyalty to something irrational that important?
I think it goes deeper than that. I think people see that they are cornered on their belief but will not let it go because they would have to admit they were wrong probably for the length of their lives. That is too much to ask a perfect person to admit they are wrong. We see it with trump who would tell a lie automatically in just about every situation as a knee jerk response than admit he had gotten it wrong. Well the people who are still republicans are no different. They have the same weakness of character and have yet to come to the understanding that it is most like the nature of human beings to be wrong. Because when we admit we are wrong we usually find the correctness and then apply that to our lives as we continue our quest through life toward perfection in our trial and error way.
