As someone who's on the other side of the planet please explain what you mean.

See my above response. Admitting that your political adversaries aren't "bad", just "dumb", isn't exactly conciliatory.

How so? It’s an opinion piece that explicitly calls out NYT

The thesis of the article is that liberals are not "good" and conservative are not "bad", but that liberals are "educated" and conservatives are not.

And the article questions, "Maybe liberals are bad because we're the ones who made them so stupid?" (paraphrased).

Do you mean that instead of describing themselves as “educated” it would be more accurate to describe themselves as “indoctrinated”?
