Liberals: "We will fix X with policy Y"

Conservatives (-2, flagged): "All you'll do is cause Z"

Reality: X is now worse and Y had unintended consequence Z

Liberals: "Z isn't happening and anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorists anti-vax COVID denier fascist "

Liberal Fact Checkers: Headline: No, Z isn't real. Text: actually Z is real

Liberal Media: Here is why Z is a good thing

Liberals: Well, of course, there was always going to be Z dum-dum anyways we have to fix X+1 with Y+1

Sadly, this cynical take is correct in all too many cases.

The solution is to bring more intelligence to the problem of governance and human organization in general, not less. Stupidity has never been the right answer to any problem, yet it seems to be all the conservative side has to offer nowadays. Weaponizing the left side of the IQ bell curve will prove to be a bad idea in the long run.
