@orionkidder @JuliusGoat The flip side of that is that there are some mindblowingly naive left-wing students who have zero clue about the world.
I remember taking an int'l relations class at a "liberalist of liberal arts" college during the Gulf War, and one student was like "why did we even think Saddam HAD weapons of mass destruction anyway", and I was like "because we kept the fucking receipts from when we sold them to him?"
That sword of naive-bliss cuts across the entire spectrum.
I am begging you to notice that the subject of the post is not the blinkered arrogant naiveté of the students, but the validation of it by the adults.

@JuliusGoat @orionkidder And that weaponized proliferation of dumb ideas happens from both left- and right-wing parents/authority-figures.
Is the right-wing "ahead of the curve" on it (so to speak)? Sure, no question. I don't want this to come across as defending right-wing-nutjobbery. But having just been an adult finishing up a PoliSci degree at a LA college, I'm here to tell you that there's some pretty whacked out shit that left-wing parents are reinforcing as well. ðŸ˜
