Has never read a book, much less the Bible, despite being a fervent Christian.
Average left wing extremist I’ve met:
Has actually read books about leftist theory, is willing to debate and have their mind changed. The march I joined a few months ago was basically full of Political Science students from the local university.
Tl;dr: the bell curve up top is accurate, minus the Wojacks.
There is now a bigger shift where there are some very inept leftists whose dogma harms them (as the conservatives of the 70s/80s/90s).
As well many more well spoken conservatives in the last 10 years. However that benefit is starting to wane and they now have a brigade of social media rhetorist as intolerable as the left.
I see it on Reddit all the time. Leftists hurting their own arguments because they’re repeating things that are just flat out wrong. Most people barely pay attention to the news, have no idea how our government works, and don’t read books.

Leftist dogma hurts business. Nobody ever died from having a 2 day weekend or from being forced to work less than 40 hours a week
Could you cite something? I haven’t seen any of this, and I’m very curious to see where it’s coming from.
