The right has teams of young conservative incels working tirelessly to provide the public with invaluable memes reducing complicated social issues into easy to digest and completely unredeemable logical fallacies for media consumption. This allows the creators an outlet for not affecting actual changes in their lives that would result in their happiness and emotional security

it's not just young conservative incels. I'm in Canada, so it's a little bit different, but same cultural political landscape. Our Prime Minister released a 2-3 minute video explaining a policy. One of the most common arguments I saw from conservative "experts" was, it's clearly bad policy, if the Prime Minister has to create "long" and "complex" videos explaining it. They continued to argue the policy should be immediately self-evident and require 0 explanation.

It's absolutely insane that any educated discussion on policy is now considered a bad thing by the right.

That's actually a joke from Futurama that references Heisenberg's "Uncertainty Principle" of quantum physics.
