That's true. Though being politically illiterate doesn't explain why libs are so incurious, to the point of dismissing evidence before even looking at it. Their ignorance is willful to an extent because they know on some level that they benefit materially from playing along. Or if they don't benefit, then they can at least avoid getting punished for rocking the boat.

Yeah, I can't ascribe much agency or self awareness to the us burgerosie. I'll grant that most of them have normal human faculties but the ones i interact with are profoundly ignorant and incurious to the point where they might as well be ayerdales for all the intellectual function they utilize
