@bastardsheep not quite.
The conservative misunderstanding isn't about black and white but about magnitude. They are basically histrionic, nothing could ever be just a little off, everything has to be magnified a million times, and the same for good things: they think the economy is going to shoot to the Moon when really it might just be improved by a few percent.
Histrionic.
It's not that it's black and white, it's that every illegal immigrant is obviously a threat to the entire world order and must be treated that way!!!
I think it's important to understand this in order to counter them.
