It makes sense. It makes so much sense.
How can you follow an evolving political situation if you struggle to understand and track how stories develop over time?
If Fauci says one thing about COVID and then, 1 year's worth of research later, he said something different that is going to completely confuse these people. They are literally incapable of understanding how stories evolve.
That's hard for me to empathize with because that seems like something fundamental to the human mind. It seems like something that everyone should be able to do. But apparently that's not true.
I even see it a lot here in comment threads. People can't connect ideas and context in things that they're responding to, and totally miss the entire point. I used to think they were just trolls but now I think it's truly poor reading comprehension.
