(402 posts)Conservatives the world over use base instinct to win elections or seize power, it takes self education, self reflection, logic and reason to be progressive. It also takes bravery and questioning of authority with fact checking, all these things are more difficult then simply being a sheep for land owners.
Fear, short term thinking, fantasy and stereotypes, conservatives of any strip will always have a easier time because in the end we are just monkeys, easily tempted with the promise of short term gains at the cost of huge long term losses.
When I was younger I thought we were the better party because we didn't stoop to their level by using base instinct, but now I don't think a human majority will ever toss aside their anti intellectualism and that for the future of the human race we should not just use logic to win but base human stupidity as well.
