       For me personally, I tend to notice this when the person is quick to speak negatively about politics. I mean, we’ve all experienced this. The person talks about how the other party, the one that opposes theirs, is so bad and how the people are complete idiots. And they talk about their political positions and how correct they are. It is All or Nothing Thinking run amok. One side is completely good, which is their side, and the other side is completely evil, and things are painted in such a way to make this seem to be the obvious reality. And no one can disagree with them, you don’t and I don’t, because we know if we do, they will bite our heads off too. Their tongue isn’t bridled and their heart is deceived. I get tired of having to seemingly agree with such persons. However, you cannot disagree with them because they are not open to others views. They have already decided they are absolutely correct and there is no hope in even getting them to try to see otherwise. Their positions are severe. They are too strongly opinionated. The pride is seeping through, and the person can become even tiring to be around.
