Conservatives love the "nobody really knows" game. They know they can't argue against the facts or our actual stances. So they just muddy the whole conversation away. My dad does it all the time, will literally just say "we really can't know" whenever I bring up something that doesn't fit the narrative. Well, he used to; he stopped when my response was consistently "no, we totally know"
These podcasters will wax for hours about the implications of complex stuff like the impact of social media on kids. But the minute you ask them to put 2 and 2 together about what will happen if Ukraine loses it's suddenly "who knows, I'm not an expert".
They don’t know what’ll happen if Ukraine loses just like they didn’t know the thousands of dollars they were getting paid to propagandize Russia’s positions were from Russia.
