And you should avoid like a plague making hasty generalizations, particularly in imagining how the deaths of your fellow Americans would benefit your party, rather than our nation. That is pure evil. Shame, shame on you.
Avoid also Marx' Dialectics, it isn't helping you make rational decisions.
Normally you would be right but conservatism is a regressive ideology that excludes all but like minds and gets smaller as you go along--the expulsion of Liz Cheney and those like her is a prime example. So not only is it easy to draw conclusions but because the current type of conservative demographic is well defined there is no fallacy in doing so.
As for pure evil, it's conservative's willingness to believe any lie told to them so long as it comes from one of their demagogues where the evil lies. You won't wear masks, you won't get vaccinated, you won't do anything that might stem the tide of this virus all because your demagogues told you not to do so. There was no critical thinking involved in any of this...just lies spread by liars and conservatives are more than willing to believe them because 1) it's what you want to hear and 2) it comes from a trusted source no matter how warped that source might be.
So before you run around pointing your crooked finger at evilness in others look at yourself and how that label might actually better apply to you.
