Because he's an asshole. A grifting asshole to be specific.

I feel like I would never get along with anyone who has an attitude of "I believe X. Change my mind." I can't imagine anyone starting a conversation that way is not an asshole.

i used to think it was a cool argument style like 6 years ago (i was probably 14) til i learned he was a nut and the change my mind is because of the republican (and religous) fear of being wrong not because he ever wanted his mind changed

i almost took the pill tho i luckily saved myself using critical thinking and not really caring about politics. i just wanted to hear a "smart" guy talk.

Oh i get it now. The person in the photo is an asshole in real life. It only took me a day of wondering why would someone be an asshole for not liking a meme template 😅
