I’ve also heard this line of thought from libinlaws about evolution and global warming -
“all the smart/learned people believe this, so it must be true”
That's the irony of “deep thinking” liberals...they can be trained to think they're “smart” when they don't have a clue...then they have to group think to maintain any sense of self-esteem...
Even when they see the truth...they cant admit it because their self-esteem is threatened...and their self esteem is more important to them then any truth...”Liberalism is a convenient excuse for personal insecurity.....hence the term....."useful Idiot"”
