There is an advantage in this form of understanding though.

In looking at it as r/K selection, you are able to discern the majority’s K-selected views more clearly, and see exactly where the Liberal’s r-selected views diverge. Once you see that, you can better argue in such a way as to appeal to the Lemmings.

For example, Libs support single mom’ing it. They argue every woman should be able to do as she wishes as a parent, thereby trying to make it an issue of parental freedom. K-selected individuals value freedom, so this can make the argument tolerable to the uneducated.

In the r/K paradigm though, single parenting is merely low-investment parenting, designed to maximize offspring production, at the expense of the offspring’s rearing quality. Highlight in the debate that the Liberal doesn’t care about the children, and that they are supporting something which hurts children, simply because they are programmed to not care about children or their rearing, and you create a wedge between the Lemmings, who value K-selected urges, and the Liberals. K-selected individuals will always put the child first.

I am also exploiting Liberal Narcissism, using some interesting realities in science. If enough people are talking about how Liberals and Gays are the same, Liberals will reflexively try to avoid being labeled with the Liberal tag.

Liberals need to feel superior. And for all their talk about tolerance, and the embrace of their lessers, they are remarkably bigoted. They like gays - so long as they feel superior to them, and the gays are their lessers. Begin to associate Liberalism with homosexuality, and you will hear Liberals squeal.

I actually probably understand Liberals better than Conservatives, so a lot of what I am doing is pointing out ideas which will drive Liberals crazy, if they enter the dialog.
