I’ve noticed leftists, no matter how ill informed and out of touch with reality, typically push the idea that they are mentally superiority and anyone who doesn’t agree with them is stupid. The public indoctrination camps and modern leftist culture teach their followers arrogance and condescension instead of how to debate intelligently or to open their minds to different possibilities and viewpoints.

It’s sad really. It means they can push the most idiotic, illogical things and their people will eat it up without question because they are already certain they and they alone have all the answers.

Not just mentally, morally superior as well. The conclusions and approved behaviors this all leads to is just downright weird.

I re-listen to this talk by Evan Sayet every so often.

It's a new logical fallacy, Argumentum ad Brunnensis, a derivative of Argumentum ad Verecundiam, that is, "We went to Brown and you didn't".

You'll see a lot of that attitude right here on this forum, from people who don't appear to be leftists.
