You know I genuinely noticed something quite alarming about politics: Conservatives’ stances are eerily close to my first draft uneducated analysis of a situation… when I was still a child.
When I was the age to get “The talk” I inquired as to why people who didn’t want to get pregnant didn’t just not have sex, and it was calmly explained to me why that was dumb as hell.
We’re dealing with people who have the political leaning of a child with no compassionate education.
They’re all just reactionary. They see a headline that says “algae farms being used to fight climate change” and think “dumb liberals using algae to do what algae does and thinking it’s going to save the planet.” That’s as far as they go with their analysis.
Or they see headlines about DEI programs and think “that’s actually racist against white people by giving minorities an advantage” without considering the underlying problems of inherent minority disadvantage in the numerous interconnected socioeconomic systems.
Conservatives are reactionary, not smart enough to be analytical, and unwilling to learn. Problems are literally too complicated for them to understand.

I can definitely see that. Good observation!
It’s full of people who throw temper tantrums
