Please provide some specific examples.

I would consider myself fairly critical and I don't have your problem. Mostly because I can understand different needs, interests, and contexts. For example, I usually don't hold small talk to the same standard as technical discussions. If a friend or SO says something I perceive as "patently false", does it bother me? Depends on the context of the discussion. I allow people to express themselves. Is that open mindedness? Not really.

Most people, or at least the ones I interact with, really aren't as unintelligent as you describe in this post.

I would say some regular culprits are viral internet memes that say something crazy. My SO and I are ideologically aligned, for the most part, so are both right-wing. I don't know if you spend time in right-wing internet silos but there are a lot of [redacted] memes that go around claiming something wild that are almost always false. Maybe it's the same on the left, I have no idea.

Used to, I would explain what's going on, which I'm fine with. At a certain point, she became tired of the explaining and decided that I "never agree with her." So, now I have to ignore them, because I'd rather not fight about it.
