The main problem is that a lot of them are not very smart. I don't know if the problem is flat ignorance, lead poisoning, or what, but their brains just don't work very well. Empathy, reasoning, language ability - all faculties are working suboptimally.

Well, we all know what it is. It's the devastating result of being raised by anti-smart churches, television, and nothing. I don't think most of them have read a book in their lives.

I mean, there are lots of dumb people on the left, but at demos people can mostly spell. Not everyone, but more people can spell and speak and think and stand upright while chewing gum, and so on. The teabag movement is really a race to the dregs.
