    they do this all the time, ignore all the overwhelming evidence and only focus on one thing that looks like they can dismantle. Not in name of a legit argument but because of an intense chauvinistic and reactionary impulse to defend their worldview.

      The silent downvote is probably the most pathetic part. I got a comment removed for being “uncivil” - The comment was me pointing out someone was dodging the question, literally just “answer the question”. Its such a deep part of a part of these peoples character, that challenging it is seen as rude, apparently.
