I agree with everything you said, but it doesn't seem to resonate with the masses based on voting patterns here.

They don't need to have a serious conversation to succeed. Their supporters visit their site, get their dopamine hit from being told their viewpoint is correct, and they feel empowered to lash out at any dissent so the cycle continues.

They're the equivalent of a left-wing Fox News, but get very angry when that is pointed out.
