The last election cycle and the conservative party is not reflective on intelligence. (Granted the party has had and currently has vocal people who are 1. aren't well educated and 2. are incredibly intolerant 3. a mixture of both)
Politics relies on playing on people's confirmation biases and it works. Trump is not the only one who did that. Politicians won't debate fact because they can be wrong, and also they can be proven wrong. (From there their opponiate can harp on that and use people's confirmation bias to discredit)
- TallGuyShort 9y ago>> the party has had and currently has vocal people who are 1. aren't well educated and 2. are incredibly intolerant 3. a mixture of both Hmm... once again the conservative and liberal parties sound identical to me. OP didn't say anything about conservatives.
- pmarreck 9y agoAs the other reply stated, I did not mention conservatism at all, you read that into my comment somehow though, which is itself interesting. I should relay my bias, however meaningful or meaningless, that I am still shocked that the candidate who scored the lowest of all in factual accuracy according to all the factchecker sites (note: not "lying" as the left often claims, which requires intent; but simply not being factually-accurate) is now our President. I did see a lack of critical thinking on both sides of the aisle, though.
