      A) You're not a mind reader
      2) You don't know everybody - or even the majority of people - in that group.

      You're just trying to make the left's intolerance sound noble.

        Because, secretly, hidden deep within the left, which nobody at all on the left knows about and are completely ignorant of because they affect nothing the left every says or does, and yet secretly control everything it does, are the agents of "cultural marxism" which is a Definitely A Meaningful Phrase and Totally Not Nonsense, and hence all the leftists are ignorant of their own true agendas. #AlexJones

          Do you have fever or chills with these little outbursts?

            Always a grin, and occasionally a laugh.

                Interesting since in reality land studies have shown those in the left are far more ignorant on what the right believes and why vs the opposite. That study disagrees with the narrative though, so thus ignored.

                    In a study I did with Jesse Graham and Brian Nosek, we tested how well liberals and conservatives could understand each other. We asked more than two thousand American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Qyestionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right)’ Who was best able to pretend to be the other?

                    The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as “very liberal.” The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives. When faced with questions such as “One of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal” or ”Justice is the most important requirement for a society,” liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree. If you have a moral matrix built primarily on intuitions about care and fairness (as equality), and you listen to the Reagan [i.e., conservative] narrative, what else could you think? Reagan seems completely unconcerned about the welfare of drug addicts, poor people, and gay people. He’s more interested in fighting wars and telling people how to run their sex lives.

                      Haidt does some interesting research which I always enjoy reading even if I often differ to him about how to interpret his findings. In this case I would wonder if people in his surveys aren't interpreting some words differently to each other (e.g. 'justice' can mean something quite different for liberals (helping the oppressed) than conservatives (punishing the guilty)). I've seen enough other studies and data over the years that one study's not going to convince me of the generalization you are trying to make, but it's nice to see you actually have some data/evidence for once for a point you're trying to make.

                            Which proves the point since consertives/moderates don’t seem to have nearly the same issues with answering from a liberal perspective. I generally do have evidence for what I say. Problem is you’re so profoundly arrogant and ignorant that you think you know more than you actually do and refuse correction when shown otherwise. Such as how you try to make excuses for liberal ignorance and ignore the fact consertives/moderates don’t have the same issues. I suspect it’s because you live in a pretty thick bubble.
