I already answered this

If you are a person who has shown traits of very low intelligence, any fact you state has to have concrete evidence, especially if its something that is not easily verifiable.

Meanwhile people who have generally shown themselves to be more intelligent can generally be trusted more from the start.

>t is _not_ obviously the case that "anyone who can think critically leans towards the Democratic party"

Yes it is. Conservatism comes from not being able to comprehend reality around you correctly. Anything rational in the conservative movement (like sensible gun rights) is already a part of modern liberal Democrats, while the rest of the stuff is just objectively and verifiably wrong.

And just for clarity, its not my side versus your side. The far left movements that lean towards hard socialism and abandonment of private property are also verifiably wrong. This is part of horseshoe effect in politics.

ffs, go talk to a real conservative sometime. If you lived their life, you would be them.
