Conservatives can be dumb in a lot of ways, but point out some basic facts that are incompatible with the left wing worldview & a lefty will attempt to belittle you in every possible way, call you every name in the book, make up emotionally manipulative nonsense, and then top it off by saying "you're a bully."

It's the same pattern over & over. And they attempt to use some combo of their "expert qualifications" & their victimhood status to shame any opposition into submission.

The reason CEOs like Jack Dorsey had/have to pay lip service to leftwing causes is because they have thousands of completely intolerant & unhinged people with no moral or ethical boundaries working for them.

there is definitely greater diversity of thought and intellect on the US right than the US left in absolute terms, currently. could obviously change

I have seen that pattern on both the left and right many times. Few seem to actually listen to one another at much real depth. There are package deals and snap reactionary judgments on both sides.
