The cognitive development part was educational, but the thesis is... Meh. Harris didn't promise to end the genocide in Gaza; she promised to keep doing what Biden did and believe that that would end the war (she refused to admit there even is a genocide), and there was very little Trump could've done that Biden isn't already doing. I also think you'll find that drawing the line at genocide does make sense if the formal operation you're doing includes anything beyond the next four years.
Well, Trump is going to get the codes to the nukes in two days, isn't he? He said "all hell will break loose".

Uh... None of these are quoting Trump, who just two days ago actually did something about Gaza.

Takes a bow
It's been two months and she hasn't woken up gasping for breath since. It was a mind problem, so I fixed it in her mind. The imagination is the mind's development environment.
Don't tankies struggle with basically all reasoning? Abstract or otherwise?
They're very good at excuses, fallacies, and mental gymnastics. Those are reasoning too. Just not very advanced reasoning.
Tankies' reasoning makes a lot more sense if you think of them as paid Russian trolls. Their paycheck depends on them understanding false ideas as if they were true.
Yes a lot of them do seem to be pushing an agenda, and they feel very trained on how to escape answering… anything. If they feel they are losing, they resort to insulting, and trying to make you feel foolish. Anyone with half a brain can see this coming a mile away, but the tankie carries on, patting themselves on the back.
I just assume there is no way to convince them of anything, because to even try is an absolute insult. Their opinion is the only correct opinion. Like, China is great, and everything bad is western propaganda. But, ask a gay tankie how they feel about China not having same sex marriage and their arguments start to fall apart.
If you’re even going to try to argue with one, just find out how to make them feel undesired in China and Russia, and then they fumble.
I think a preference to Authoritarian Personality would make a better connection.
