Yeah conservatives are usually just dumber than shit. They don't think logically about the things they believe. It's one emotional reaction to something and they form their stance around and that's the end of it.

One dude I work with is MAGA solely because he doesn't want "men" in his daughter's bathroom at school. I was like "Were they having a problem with that before Trump got elected?" "No.... Not that I'm aware of ..."

My in-laws are the classic religious conservative and I’m pretty sure that devoting your life to the evangelical Christian faith means giving up critical thinking skills in order to be accepted. Faith means you never question anything.
