[GOP Poet]

Great post and yes to elaborating on how and why ESPECIALLY their history and I submit 'philosophical' premise to begin with (although many have no idea of the origins of their 'belief system.' (I call out belief as my experience with many is their 'belief' is a knee jerk conformity rather than an fully conscious chose that includes any thought whatsoever. Studying undergrad work at one of the most toxic, waste dumps of this liberal school thuggery (The Evergreen State College), I watched it unfold on a multitude of spectrums. I could write a book with all that I saw there way back when. And I was no conservative when I was at school there. In fact that experience is what made me see the insanity of it all and the brain washing.

Many of my peers did not get real jobs EVER after graduating and mocked those that did. They were the second generation of the SJW before it was taken over completely by the ignorant and easy to con general population. Often they went on to do research for the Democratic party and their multitude of 'non profits' that do research to support their causes. (Say hello to employment to the likes of Soros and his machines.

“This is why conservatives don’t tend to express the same emotional hostility as the Left; a deeper grasp of the world’s complexity has the effect of encouraging intellectual humility.”

I think you’re right. A programed knee jerk conformity that requires neither intellectual capabilities nor any humility or respect for others. Total selfish emotions are the easy way. Those emotions are easy to manipulate.
