This board houses a number of people who refuse to accept fact over fiction. If you present fact that they can't logically argue against, a Fox News talking point is presented instead. If you decide to take the time (a waste of it, really) to debate the talking point and they again, can't logically argue against it, insults or a change of subject are then presented. It's almost comical how predictable the pattern tends to be.
Those people will never accept that what they know is not 100% true. There is no argument or fact that will change their mind. It must be that their brains just aren't wired to accept an alternative to what was learned first.
