What I find so remarkable, Kay, is that whereas I find my liberal friends have “different opinions,” they find me - now that I am a Republican - “stupid.”
These are the same folks who thought me brilliant in college and who hung on my every word...
I am, after all, quite convinced that the lefties are the most closed-minded people on Earth.
A group of people who feel destined to rule...
They are being told they are smart, we are stupid. I remember working in a bookstore back in the early 80’s. I had noticed the new books were mostly pretty liberal. One day the bookbuyer had a salesman in, and since we worked in the same office I heard some of the discussion.
The salesmen said he’s heard that some people wonder if any conservatives write books. He looked at the buyer and said Of Course Not, pause, conservatives can’t read!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. I found that so offensive, as a conservative. Soon after I got a better work opportunity and left, never looking back.
Obviously the Publishers and their salespeople decided conservative ideas were so stupid they didn’t deserve to have books they might agree with.
After I left I watched the rise of new publishing houses, then amazon, and the explosion of great books by and for conservatives. The old publishers failed in the quest to snuff out conservative knowledge. Not nearly as smart as they thought they were, eh?

Actually, dear Golux, this will prove to be a valuable asset. Using the "cover" of stupid, YOU will come out the winner. Consider all of the "stupid" people in history who were victorious.
I have, after living 68 years, discovered that "stupid" will, in time, reap a far more satisfying reward.
Try not to gloat too much when it does.
