Do you think that will ever happen? I used to be that way when I was younger. As I got older the truth was more important, realizing everyone makes mistakes and isn't perfect. I have no problem admitting if I'm wrong because I see it as growth to gain the knowledge for the next time around. I have noticed that the few lefty people that are around me can never admit they are wrong, arguing or making excuses to try to justify their thoughts or actions. On the other hand my conservative friends have a much easier time saying hey I screwed up or i was wrong. These are people I went to preschool with and grew up together, we mainly had the same life experiences I just don't see where they veered off the road.
I don't know why I'm this way, but I came out of the womb kicking and screaming for truth and justice. I actually welcome being proved wrong because it gives me a chance to grow in my understanding. That's always a good thing....as the saying goes: It is better to be slapped in the face with the truth than kissed with a lie.
The pain of wading through cognitive dissonance is preferable to living a life of lies.
It's why people like my 89-yr-old mother will NEVER leave the Democrat party. They just have too much pride invested. It's sad that people would rather support something they know to be wrong, than to admit they were wrong in believing it.

I am a HUGE skeptic. I ALWAYS have to have a plan B and go over it multiple times to look for the flaws.
I wonder how many of us are INFJ personalities? We are hard-wired for truth and authenticity.
Does it count if i'm 50% INFJ and 50% INTJ? On any given day I flip between them a lot I think.
I feel that most of us are advocates, but most of us that do deep diving are analysts or logisticians.
Whoa that’s me. Interesting. It would be super curious to see who else on here is!
Here here! Well said?
I have the same experiences. It’s always the incorrigible who veer towards the left.
