Something children are left to learn how to do on their own. Now, more people don't know how to do it. They just assert options as though they are fact or regurgitate talking points that are easily refuted. They don't lose arguments because the people they are arguing with are stupid Trump supporters. It doesn't matter if the words they are using mean they are objectively correct.
My life experience makes whatever I say valid. I don't care that this line of reasoning is fallacious. I don't know the difference between a valid argument and a fallacy. I'm smart. I said words. I don't even know the fundamentals of reasoning and I don't want to argue because I wouldn't know the difference between winning and losing either way. So, arguing is a waste of time for me. I'm just going to assume I'm right. And then I'm going to take that and project it on to my opposition and assume they they are just assuming they are right. That way I don't have to defend my way of thinking because if I'm not using reason then I don't ever have to be wrong. Reasoning is for people who do things is don't like.

reasoning and zealing verbsnoungroups
1.1 Introduction to the noun group
At its simplest, we use language to talk about people and things. We do this by using words in a variety of ways, for example to make statements, to ask questions, and to give orders. The words we choose are arranged into groups, either around a noun or around a verb. They are called noun groups and verb groups.
Noun groups tell us which people or things are being talked about. Verb groups tell us what is being said about them, for example what they are doing.

The number of people whom Sidney Powell, Trump-appointed author of the "stolen election" and "voter fraud" narratives, felt could believe that what she was saying was true.
Lawyers for Powell told a federal court that "no reasonable person" would conclude her unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election were statements of fact. Taking it a step further, Attorney Albert Watkins, representing Jacob Chansley, the Q-Shaman, said that his client and other Capitol-storming defendants were "people with brain damage, they're fucking retarded".

"Thala for a reason" is a satirical meme originating in India among cricket fans of MS Dhoni, mocking the extreme adulation of his fanboys who attribute everything to him. It implies that Dhoni's luck is involved in every situation where the number 7 appears, his jersey number, and is humorously used to poke fun at his fanboys. In short, it highlights the excessive admiration for Dhoni and mocks the tendency to attribute his success to divine intervention by saying "thala for a reason" whenever number 7 or anything Dhoni-related appears.
Person 1: "Did you know that India has won international cricket tournaments 7 times?"
Person 2: "Thala for a reason, right? Because his lucky number 7 is always at work!"

There's a mysterious third kind. That no one really understands. It happens when your shlong decides to take matters into its own hands. No reason boner. It baffles scientists. No reason boner.

Dan: This morning I was having breakfast at the midtown diner. The bagel was delicious and the coleslaw couldn't be finer. Got a weird look from the waitress, when I asked her for the check. I looked down and realized I was 100% erect! No reason boner! I like coleslaw but not that much. No reason boner.
