      Months back somebody on here described it in a simple two-word way that has stuck with me. Dumb and mean.

      Many conservatives are just dumb and mean, and that is a nasty combination.

      That’s not a perfect generalization, of course. Some are nice people who are profoundly ignorant and misled. Some are smart sociopaths. But it just fits too well for me to ignore.
