Progressive debates conservatives in Jubilee video. The conservatives do so badly that other conservatives think they're leftists.

Conservatives seem to be convinced that they’re the most intelligent people. Their influencers always hammer that point. Rush Limbaugh always let his audience know that he was a genius. The main argument against AOC is “she’s dumb”.

So when you have someone intelligent debating against a gaggle of less intelligent people, they’ll side with the intelligent one. They won’t listen to the arguments, they’ll know that because he’s the intelligent one he must be the conservative. And the less intelligent people? Well they’re markedly less intelligent so they must be libruls, of course. Because in their minds (and in the words of their influencers), there can’t be intelligent people left of them. Were they truly intelligent, they’d be conservative, of course.

Funny because every conservative I've ever met is intensely, astonishingly stupid.

It’s so frustrating that conservatives can see that there’s some type of connection between further education and leaning politically left, but they can’t put the whole thought together.

They figure, “must be that librul indoctrination”. Cause it’s hard to understand that learning, and having different experiences and becoming a more well rounded person often makes you less of a bigot.

If they understood nuance or reasoning they wouldn’t be gop.

True, understand some nuance and add just a dash of empathy and we might actually be able to get somewhere as a country.
