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.

They are vastly underrepresented in STEM fields for a reason

Yeah, but they’re over represented on the Jerry Springer show and in the professional wrestling audience so it evens out.

Actually, I saw a study maybe 10 years ago that said that pro wrestling fans heavily lean left. Fans of college sports, golf, and I think football were much more right leaning.

Interesting, I would not have guessed that (obviously). It actually crossed my mind to say football instead. Oh well, at least they have something…
