    Conservatism and education are natural enemies. It seems the more educated, intelligent and worldly a person is, the less likely they are to be a conservative.

    It’s almost like there is some direct correlation between being uneducated and being a conservative.

      Conservatism is a populist anti-intellectual ideology that tells closed-mined and overconfident people that their intuition is better than stuffy expert book-learning.

      Their overlords want their constituents to remain uneducated and without critical thinking abilities. That’s what allows them to be so easily manipulated.

      There’s a reason religion flourishes among conservatives.
