My experience is that they can't understand complex systems, and instead will view everything in a vacuum. This makes it extremely painful to explain anything to them that requires you to explain it in a systemic or abstract manner. This is very obvious when it comes to anything political or economic, where you will hear them repeat the same tired absolutist statements over and over without any regard for context aka "taxes are bad! taxes are good! government bad! government good!". The reason they do this is because they don't understand nuance or context so they just repeat on-liners without any regard for the bigger picture. They don't understand patterns, systems, contexts, etc.
What is the worst example of this you have ever seen (in general mind you, not just for politics)?
