But appeal to authority is the MEANING OF TRUTH for liberals.
Liberals do not believe truth to be self-evident. They believe that truth MUST be spoken by a "qualified person." That could mean anything, but NDT is "That science guy who sounds smart on TV" so to a liberal his insane opinions about social civics are dogma.
Its part of their mentality. Truth is true, no matter how self-contradictory, if its spoken by a "qualified person."
"We need to remove the police to make the streets safer" becomes completely TRUTH to a liberal when AOC says it for example. Conversely it doesn't matter how many studies, how much empirical, quantitative evidence you present to the contrary. You are not AOC, you are a vile Right Wing racist, so to a liberal NOTHING you say is true. If you say 2+2=4 and prove it, they will slap the counting coins you used to demonstrate right out of your hand and say "NO! Its 5, because AOC said 2+2=5, thus its five, racist."
They are dogmatic lemmings to their very core, and the perfect psychological make up for a fascist state. Which is what the Billionaire elite are trying to set up, a fascist state based around rule by the self-appointed wealthy.
China is the model they are trying to follow. China is basically a lawless free market economy combined with a murderous fascist government that is communist in name only. Its ruled by the richest people in the nation, who's qualification to power is their asset portfolio and social connections. Yes Xi is at the head, but he is the figurehead of the system which is built in exploiting global hyper-capitalism, and embracing predatory trade as their mean weapon of war.
