They have a very simple defense
"Fake News"
Fake FUCKING News
It's their ultimate shield against a fact based universe ..where there are no objective truths that are verifiable ..just personal ones they have faith in

(25,857 posts)I recall reading something from a couple who totally opposed abortion but "reluctantly" allowed a treatment for their very ill child that had depended on fetal tissue. If they truly opposed abortion, they'd have refused the treatment. But hypocrisy wins every time.

This is your brain
This is your brain on a constant diet of FAUX news and hate radio.
Any questions?

Second:"objective truths" Objectivity is a philosophical concept of being true independently from individual subjectivity caused by perception, emotions, or imagination. A proposition is considered to have objective truth when its truth conditions are met without bias caused by a sentient subject.
It is evident here that the emotional is on the part of the poster of this statement. Who is emotionally attached to an unknown tissue in a women's uterus but totally unconcerned (hatred?) of children in cages.
Third: Democrats, Liberals, Progressives may have emotions which may be empathetic, BUT they are very far and away under the sway of Science, Science principles, facts and logic.
I say a significant FAIL on the original statement to be of any substantive logic or proofs.

(11,683 posts)Read it several times, too! Thought it was a line I have heard often from The Right! That we are somehow the ones living in some fact free, alternate overly-emotional reality of "situation relativism."
Got it! It was your words and I am totally in line with that!

Willfully stupid is not me.
