As someone else who grew up in that world, it’s because we know there is no logic or reason behind conservative politics. They deserve no grace; no benefit of the doubt.
Conservative politics is lazy and selfish. They don’t want to learn about anyone else’s experience. They don’t want to understand science. They like the hateful and “ignorant” (the leaders know better) things their politicians say, so they don’t bother to ask if the statements are true just as long as the statements are convenient.
Had I not lived it for ~20 years, I never would have realized how little justification conservatives have for their beliefs. The rest of us aren’t missing something. They really are that smug and selfish. It’s blatant, willful ignorance.
