RIGHT WING BABIES

Fox News & Truth Social: Conservatives Are Cowering In Safe Spaces

There is no left wing bias in academia, media, and culture. Conservatives just don’t debate things in good faith, and are quitters.

The alleged left wing bias in academia really just means that conservative ideology has no basis in fact, and fails to be bolstered with variable-isolating studies, cross-examination, deep reading, field experience, peer review, and critical thinking.

Higher education isn’t a brainwashing. It just slowly turns you liberal as you realize societal problems are much more complex and nuanced than the bumper sticker slogans that conservatives are so much better at creating than liberals.

For one example, it’s simple to believe tax cuts for the rich will trickle down wealth to everyone because conservatives have been saying it with pavlovian consistency for 50 years, but it’s difficult to do deep dives into statistics spanning decades, generations, and specific policies that prove without a doubt cutting taxes for the rich leads to the rich just hoarding more of their money in a societally destructive manner. You can’t put all that on a bumper sticker.
