Good stuff from Helen Mirren.
Reading Albaby's patient, civil, responses to Limbaugh/Fox/tea party/trump cultists, it dawned on me that the echo chamber is real. They are not able to accept fact based positions that are contrary to what they wish were the truth. After participating in a discussion they dismiss the facts they could not refute and revert to the Fox talking points for the next discussion.
To that end, there are probably a few
'litmus test' questions one could ask to determine if a person is "even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective".... whether or not a person is able "to see beyond their own beliefs."
One such question might be:
"Did Donald Trump lose a free and fair election in 2020?"
some other litmus questions?
