- Find outgroups to blame your personal failures and fears on.
- Personal anecdotes are more reliable than evidence, but only the personal anecdotes that support your already held views.
- Academics and experts are all bought and paid for, therefore unreliable.
- Regurgitate the slogans and talking points that dear leader and their media cronies put out.
- Under no circumstances do any self-reflection regarding why you keep voting for a party and movement that has consistently failed at the one thing you and they claim they're good at (economy/spending).
- No self-reflection on why you consistently find yourselves duped into parroting very obvious conspiracy theories.
What's crazy is how much of a broad sweeping statement you make about people who vote Conservative. Like, insanely broad-sweeping.

What are you hoping to accomplish with the above statements? Just make fun of people to make yourself feel better?

Maybe you could actually ask some questions to try and understand versus just needing to make yourself sound superior? The arrogance and ignorance combined is truly a unique mix.

And this one blows my mind. Worst GDP / Capita in the last 10 years, yet you think someone who votes Conservative is wrong?
