A hard lesson I've had to learn is that liberals and even leftists are not really all that smarter than the average population. They are not significantly less prone to media illiteracy. They are not significantly less prone to susceptibility to propaganda. They are not significantly less prone to social media addiction. They are not significantly less prone to reactionary tendencies. Rather, these trends and symptoms are a result of a a political and media environment preying upon a generalized human trend towards emotional outbursts, subjective biases, and pattern recognition that can be taken advantage of. The saying is not "advertising only works on conservatives." It's simply "advertising works." The fact that liberals and leftists, by and large, trend more towards more scientific and positive moral outlooks doesn't actually mean anything. We would do well to understand that having facts on our side means fuck all towards our ability to not fall prey to harmful ways of thinking and being, that we are not more human and less worthy of derision than people we disagree with, and to do away with the hubris that liberals know best and that everyone else is a low-information troglodyte who just needs to shut up and fall in line.

The quicker we get rid of the egos we have because we got some fucking college degree and agree with scientists, make a concerted effort to fight against media illiteracy and social media addiction, and start approaching people with empathy and compassion, then we will constantly be in situations where we are losing layup elections because we are alienating folks who should be on our side, like the poor, or Arabs, or trans people.

She doesn't even have a real degree.
