That would be because, by and large, conservatives are fucking stupid

That's what happens when you tout that learning and education is bad and for the devil.

It's a huge swathe of masses who envies the knowledge of others and fears that they do not understand. Rather than admit their faults they double down on "learning is for dummies"

Don't get me wrong, there are many learned republicans, but the smartest ones are the ones who get elected. They fuck everybody else over for their own gains while being worshipped.

No chance of that. They can't see themselves as stupid because they did their own research.

Where are you published?

“Not that kind of research!”

Oh, so you looked some shit up. Got it.

I’d say lazy more than anything. If you asked one about what is actually in the bible they’d get all offended over having to do the work of reading it in order to defend it. They’d just sink into staunch reaffirmation without lifting a finger.
