I participate in a couple of chat groups that lean left. I've watched both of them have hours long discussions about politics the last two days in which they didn't discuss a single platform issue. I started thinking about it and my assessment of liberals is this: they want to appear intelligent and educated, but don't want to actually do the education part. Most of them think that if they just say the right buzz words, people will think they're informed. It doesn't matter what is actually said in a debate.
It only matters what headlines result.
Most liberals are pseudointellectuals. They are smart enough to have a good vocabulary, but possess zero critical thinking skills and never actually research politics.
They watch CNN or the Daily Show, believe what they hear 100%, and parrot this information to everyone they know with flowery words to appear intelligent. Worse, because they sound intelligent when they speak or else feign intelligence with their useless college degrees, they infect low IQ people they interact with with their terrible viewpoints like a disease.
The number of so-called intelligent liberals I've spoken with that have no actual idea how gas prices or the economy works is astounding, but they will call you a moron to your face if you try to educate them on it. Even if you do get them to listen and agree with you on one or many conservative view points, they magically forget the next day and go right back to being liberal idiots.
Unfortunately, Idiocracy is here to stay.
