Subject: Why FDRs lie*
"New research suggests that the spread of misinformation among politically devoted conservatives is influenced by identity-driven motives and may be resistant to fact-checks. These individuals tend to prioritize sharing information that aligns with their group identity, regardless of its accuracy."...

.....The researchers found that Republicans fused with Trump were more likely to share misinformation than other Republicans, particularly when the misinformation was related to sacred values. Identity fusion with the Republican party also predicted a higher likelihood of sharing misinformation, regardless of the values involved.

FDRs - " showed resistance to interventions against misinformation, even when the misinformation was perceived as implausible by other Republicans."

Hence Albaby's inability to reason with FDRs.
