Does that mean being an ideologue is inherently false... or not based 100% on fact?

To me, it just means that an ideologue as I see it is someone who only sees one side of an issue despite the existence of opposing information. While the definition appears more expansive, it would lump the people who look at the pieces more carefully in with those who always see only one side. In this sense, the word ideologue has no useful meaning. As a result of what you said, I think I'll just avoid the word from now on!
If you feel like it, here's the introductions verse. https://voat.co/v/introductions

Not trying to dissuade the use of the word. If it makes sense to you and with whom you're communicating, then use it. Honestly, I'm not sure I've ever used the word organically in a conversation which is why this question intrigued me. Thanks for answering my questions.
I saw the /v/introductions but don't feel like posting one, but thanks for being helpful. I like this community so far even if it is a little sparse at times.
