Liberals are also assholes, but this article chose to come to a biased conclusion that involves MAGA Republicans.

“ Republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and deny the results of that election. The dividing line is the denial itself: the willingness to hold that an election was stolen in the absence of evidence. That single belief turns out to be a genetic marker. Everything else travels with it.”
He doesn’t seem to be talking about conservatives or republicans broadly; seems like he’s focusing on a much smaller minority of people in society with very specific and fringe views. Perhaps it is “bias” to lump these people with the rest of conservatives.

Do you seriously buy the "explanation" that "liberals vote so much more by mail-in" that both Pennsylvania and Georgia flipped even though Trump was largely ahead in both?
Two states that, btw, were won by the Republicans in 2024. Which should give some food for thoughts too.
I think Trump is both crazy and senile now but I also think he may be the only US president to have ever won the elections three times.
Now I do also believe that, even in the face of cheating (probably by the same who then guided senile-Biden's auto-pen for four years), republicans should have accepted the defeat instead of trying to launch an insurrection.

Yes and there is nothing suspect about liberals voting more by mail. Demographically it checks out.
Complains about biden auto pen and biden are kind of clearly fake given Trump mental state.

You've identified yourself on the metric. I'm trying to decide if that's a result of self-reflection, or its absence.

Conservative vote is literally "cruelty is the point" and "empathy is bad thing" vote. That vote was motivated by explicit wish to harm and by masculinity being defined as "manly man is asshole" ideology.
Liberals are big tent of "not like that" that encompasses also assholes, but, crutially, not only them

I didn't notice any obvious markers, weird prose, or meandering in this one.
