It's just no point talking to him. I'm reading the Righteous Mind right now and he's a perfect example of the absolute inability for people on the left to differentiate between people on the right. He thinks he's talking to Conservatives who watch Sean Hannity. There's no difference between us and them for him.

    Definitely applies to Conservatives as well and the point isn't that Conservatives have a perfect grasp of how the left will respond to a situation or an ethical question -- they get things wrong a lot as well -- but what he finds is that the left is amazingly bad at identifying how conservatives will respond.

    I'd definitely recommend it because first of all it's just fascinating but also gives you a valuable insight into how the left thinks which I'm hoping will help me improve how to frame messages for them.
