I'm absolutely astonished at your lack of intelligence.

Referring to conservatives as "storm troopers" is simply an exercise in cross transferrence; and allows you to dehumanize your political opponents and class them as subhuman or undermenschen. This is dangerous philosophical grounds, and can lead to serious societal consequences.

You are obviously a leftist, and you knowingly or unknowingly harbor totalitarian tendencies. The fantastic point of your little rant is that you prefer to accuse the conservatives of this behavior rather than face your own deficiences in judgement. This is called cross transferrence, and it is symptomatic of a mental disorder.

Just a little advice for "grad students" like you:

Ignorance can and often does mask itself as intelligence; especially when the people who are considered "enlightened" only adhere to a fixed point of view which is disseminated in daily talking points disbursed from a fixed political base of operations ( i.e. political party). [1]

People with contrary views ( e.g. conservatives) are often classed as subhuman and ignorant in this supposedly "enlightened" society of babbling neo-idiots, and singled out for suppression or oppression. [1]

This is the classical point of view of a totalitarian society in the making. It creates internal or external enemies who must be "purged" in order for society to meet its humanist goals. [1]

When the totalitarian society in readiness is able to seize power, it mobilizes against the "internal" or "external" enemy under the guise of a perceived wrong, and seizes power. [1]

After they seize power, they murder the opposition. [1]

I submit to you that you are on the wrong side of history here, and your illusion of "intelligence" and "enlightenment" over the "underhuman" conservative "storm troopers" sets the path for you to be a willing participant in a totalitarian movement.

I urge you to pursue knowledge that forces you to question your current beliefs, in a setting outside of the influence of a cultic political movement with views similar to the ones you currently espouse.
