One of the most consistent things about Conservatives is not even having a surface level understanding of things until it happens directly to them.
You can tell them over and over and over again that the stove will burn their hand if they touch it, and they'll laugh and call you a snowflake until they do... and then they scream and say that NO ONE should touch hot stoves, it's just not right!
And then if you tell that the microwave oven over there will also burn their hand if they touch it, they'll laugh and call you a snowflake cause 'that's not a stove!'
