Obviously these people are woefully ignorant and live in a world of cliches. Ignorance of history,facts and just how much their livelihood depends on the rubes in the red states.
Hey, if the liberals know so damned much, how come they keep losing elections?
My friend asked, “Well, don’t you think that people who live in large urban areas, who travel and read and speak other languages are better able to make informed choices?”
If your friend thinks that people in urban areas are better read and more educated than those in the entirety of the red states, then she/he is even more delusional than you may have realized previously!
I hear some of this nonsense too. Actually, people in red states travel and read too, but is not indicative of how informed people are or in their ability in making choices. When a liberal asks a supposed rhetotical question, tell them "No" to their answer and give them an answer than smashes their paradigm. They will be calling you a nazi within minutes.
The biggest threat of this kind of thinking is that they actually believe that because you and I are so intelluctually inferior that we are incapable of making our own decisions. Therefore, they feel that there is nothing at all wrong with simply taking away your rights and choices and giving you what they feel you "need". Just as you would do if your widowed mother developed Alzhiemer's you would step in to take care of her affairs, the liberals view red staters.
