Conservatism actively selects for people who fall for the same poo poo over and over again It's why all the AdSense scammers in 2016 all immediately bailed on trying to target Bernie voters because they'd ask about sources and poo poo whereas chuds would just immediately believe and click on anything that validated their preconceived notions

conservatives literally cannot "see" satire. they can't. i think there have been studies that say as much.

My favorite Colbert bit was when he invited a politician that had said gay marriage was forbidden in the Bible, said as a proud Catholic he followed every single law in the bible, and then asked if the guy was kosher it went on from there

I wonder if there were conservatives who watched the Colbert Report like...literally and who were surprised at his 'flip' when he went to 'Late Show'

I also liked how Murdoc from Gorillaz "called in" and dodged his interview so Colbert stormed off the set in protest, changed real quick, and interviewed Damon Albarn as himself e: way off there

It was a bit like those racist scum who dreamed that Taylor Swift was secretly on their side. Conservatives wanted to believe deep down that Colbert was pulling a subversive double-cross where he was secretly turbo-owning the libs by pretending to be a conservative satire. Because ultimately conservatives really, really hate that they're so goddamn poor in social capital and want all the big, rich, popular people to be on their side.

now hes just too political both doesnt surprise me because people like to equate political with opinions I dont like and simultaneously blows my mind that you can think of the Colbert report as apolitical, regardless of whether or not you agree with him.

It's kind of a problem with our society, that we encourage people to think that way. If stupid people knew they were stupid, if ignorant people had their ignorance called out, we might be in a better place.

Well, yeah, but some people actually are smart and well informed. I've never encountered a smart and well informed person that thought they knew better than the whole of the scientific community on all matters science related. Pretend I posted the Dunning Kruger graph here.

Do you remember all the "calling us stupid and racist is why Trump won" hot takes from 2017? It's amazing how much of right wing politics is covering up insecurity with evil and pettiness

"Thread", as they say: https://twitter.com/Devilstower/status/1151184427919319048 TL;DR - Trump is loving coal miners seven ways to Sunday, and the goddamn rubes will still go out and vote for him next November.

My experience has not been that, and of course, the media goes out of their way to get the opinion of idiots. And there's that quote from Plato, so I assume it's been going on for a while.

I can't find any evidence of it anywhere, in Bartletts or via Google, but for like 20 years I've had this quote in my head "every man thinks himself the wisest since he sees his own wisdom close at hand and others at arm's length" And I swore it was Plato, but I can't prove it now.
