I think a major reason why RWs don’t buy into leftwing politics is because they don’t even know...

Stupid caricatures like that transexual democrats elected in Vermont?

...who liberals/progressives are.

Sure, they like to pretend they do, but they have these ridiculous caricatures in mind that don’t actually exist as far as what leftwing politics represents. It makes dismissing leftwing ideology a lot easier because they don’t handle cognitive dissonance very well when confronted with actual facts. It also gives them a false sense of superiority.

Here are some examples of some stupid caricatures/stereotypes (2 & 3 blatantly contradict each other):

1) Leftwingers want everyone on welfare instead of having jobs!

2) Leftwingers are unhinged and violent!

3) Leftwingers are snowflakes. They need safe spaces and are easily triggered derp, derp, derp!

4) Leftwingers want to move to Venezuela because they hate freedom derp, derp, derp!

Put the crack pipe down turbo

Probably hit'n the K2.
