People’s exposure is increasing over time
Individually, sure, but not in aggregate. That’s my point. You’re ignoring how there are always new people who have not yet become politically informed.
My point is that the conservative is feigning that they have liberal views as a way to justify conservative views, this is a common occurrence.
Right, but what I’m asking you is why you think that’s a “common occurrence” when you’ve neither observed it nor had it reported to you by conservatives.
Yes, but you’re wrong. In aggregate political sophistication isn’t increasing. That’s my point.
There are no “mountains of evidence to the contrary.”
“Everybody who disagrees with me is lying” is a view that’s not particularly sophisticated.
Right, but who is even one person who is doing this?
