Wrong again. My criteria for waco would be anyone who exhibits most of these traits, some of them excessively; - those who are in denial that they exhibit of any of the traits listed below - intentionally misrepresents, distorts &/or engages in outright lies - uses vile, repugnant & calumnious rhetoric - is unwilling to stand up to their own peers when they engage in illegal, unethical &/or clearly inappropriate behavior - projects their own inappropriate behavior onto those with whom they disagree - revises history to fit their ideology - considers their far left or right POV's to be "centrist", "moderate" or "mainstream" - when confronted with overwhelming evidence contrary to their POV, they, obfuscate, alter the parameters of the debate, ignore the facts, &/or attack the messenger - cherry picks "facts" out of context when the overwhelming evidence from that very source clearly points to the opposite conclusion - buys into tin-foil-hat conspiracies - finds facts useful only when they support their POV, but can ignore all facts that run counter to their POV - attacks, ridicules & marginalizes anyone with an opposing POV - expresses unsubstantiated opinions as fact - can't grasp that their inability to provide even minimal credible evidence for their unsubstantiated opinions (stated as fact) is clear evidence that opinion is baseless - is incapable of grasping their POV is wrong in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary - continues to hold reality defying opinions despite being aware of clear evidence to the contrary - considers anyone with an opposing POV to be an extremist - can't tell the difference between an opinion & a fact - engages in baseless personal attacks - repeats thoroughly discredited lies as fact
