This is about as dumb as claiming that the US is not a democracy, because it’s a republic. The level of ignorance required to make these statements unironically, is staggering.
It’s not ignorance - it’s a worldview where truth isn’t real. Claims are not evaluated because that’s not what claims are for. They’re just how you perform loyalty to the ingroup, which is the only thing that has ever mattered to people stuck in the tribalist mindset.
That’s all they think you’re doing. That’s all they think there is.
