Reality is a team sport, to some people. They do not understand the concept of truth. They merely accept or reject claims based on interpersonal trust. All mouth noises following that are working backwards to perform loyalty.

This tribalism is humanity's default. Reasoned argument is a learned behavior. It is crucially important to recognize when people aren't doing it.
