    Big errors in your thinking.

    First is thinking you’re going to win with an inflated sense of competency. Pretending like you’re above it all is going to mean failure.

    The reason for that is because of your second failure in thinking that “they’re all conservatives”. They’re not. Just like I’m not liberal even though I’ll vote that way. So what are they?

    They’re no less smarter or any more dumb then you or me. They have different values. Majority of them are not just conservative or Republican or even right wing. They’re just people mildly paying attention. So saying ‘you should know just google it’ missed the fact that this opinion will lose every ounce of power politically.

    Why your line of reasoning fails is it shows how you’re not willing to accept that all those people really do respond to certain messages over others. The left fails at creating content and winning social victories which are the foundational blocks to winning the bigger victories. Stop acting like you’re too big brained to understand what every single person has known for centuries. Messages should be easy to understand and digest to maximize its reach.

    Everybody keeps calling them stupid. They’re not. I would even bet on average they have a much greater understanding of current events than people on the left. This is because the right has more surface area and easier to digest content, slogans, media, efforts than the left. We all see these simple slogans and think what a stupid message. Meanwhile it still rallies them to create city crippling convoys where those idiots are still on bridges today. We keep confusing their messages and politics as stupid without realizing it’s really just purposely simple whereas we’re all regulated to corners of the internet with barely anything to spread expect comments like “welp those idiots sure did it again, they usurped power while we passively watch”.

    If they’re winning victory after victory and usurping power then whose the real idiots

        Thanks for proving my god damn point lol

        That’s actually really funny you showed how right I am on this.

        Also status quo and sub groups within society isn’t any mind blowing revelation. It’s just people fail to apply it to politics for some reason even though it explains so much of it.

          They have higher social intelligence.

          If that was a fact then conservatives would have more empathy for the poor, for immigrants, for people in jail … for everyone who has less than they do.

          But that’s not true, is it? Conservatives want money and power and they will beat the living shit out of anyone they can to get it.

          You sound a lot like an anti-vaxxer, convoy supporter … so right up the Conservative’s alley.

          Keep on keeping on, so that when they come for your job and home you won’t even see it coming.

            No but hear me out. Republicans are more social than the left. The left are composed of people who feel more for minority issues. This often is because they themselves are rejected from more popular mainstream culture.

            Most right wing groups are culturally frat bros and cheerleaders throwing keg bush parties. No matter where you go in the world. As adults they’re chaining boats together and throwing keg parties and reminding everyone about their glory football days.

            They are executives and others climbing the social ladder which puts them in a class where social order is important. Hence why they are more effective at spreading information and changing the culture.

            They are more inline with the dominant culture.

            The left is made up of sub groups within society. They are not a dominant culture. It’s why they’re more inline with minority issues. Socially they don’t even like each other.

            And this is why the left fails. They fail to engage because they do things that nobody cares for but they lack social awareness to realize this. They’ll go block traffic while the right is throwing a boat party to gain support

              I think you’ve made up a definition of the term ‘social intelligence’ that supports your way of thinking but isn’t factual. That’s called confirmation bias and you are rife with it.

              Have a good day and goodbye.

                Seriously.

                You think social intelligence is a made up term. If it isn’t and you just claimed it is in order to dismiss me, wouldn’t they mean you are what you claim me to be?

                    Which is a vapid statement without an actual reason behind it. A response that lacks social intelligence. And I am using it in the right way
