    They’re all just reactionary. They see a headline that says “algae farms being used to fight climate change” and think “dumb liberals using algae to do what algae does and thinking it’s going to save the planet.” That’s as far as they go with their analysis.

    Or they see headlines about DEI programs and think “that’s actually racist against white people by giving minorities an advantage” without considering the underlying problems of inherent minority disadvantage in the numerous interconnected socioeconomic systems.

    Conservatives are reactionary, not smart enough to be analytical, and unwilling to learn. Problems are literally too complicated for them to understand.
