    Sounds like a convenient excuse to just abandon any standards of evidence whatsoever, as is happening here.

    If you can’t provide any evidence whatsoever that a person or group says something, and they reject that characterization of their beliefs, then why should anyone believe a word of what you’re saying?

    Oh right, because of the power of tribalism. Gotta agree with all the bullshit or you won’t be accepted into the in-group. Which is the actual “same game MAGA plays.” The anti-intellectualism, tribalism, and lies are right out of their playbook. We can’t really get through your wall of misinformation for the exact same reasons that you can’t get through MAGA’s misinformation, because on a certain level, you don’t even care if the things you’re saying are true or not.
