I have a different take.
You may believe your generalizations about republicans are factual, but how you join the dots reveals a decidedly ideological perspective.
There’s a saying on the left that reality is left-biased. It’s a clever line, but indicates an astonishing degree of arrogance and a willful disregard for critical thinking.
If the left is the emotionally intelligent side, as your premise seems to suggest, how do we account for the dismal lack of self awareness?
For instance, no one on the left seems to notice that their culture has abandoned liberal values. Seriously, that’s disturbing.
