    Contrary to popular belief, conservatives' political attitudes are less consistent with each other and more diverse than those of liberals. https://osf.io/qgmsc/download pic.twitter.com/EpYoxpkSp2

        What little I've heard is 1) The turmoil of Year 1 had him 50/50 on POTUS for a minute there. 2) Establishment GOP blocked most or all of the people he recommended Trump add to the Administration. But 3) Trump still listened to him, and 4) Let's not overhype his potential impact.

        If you tell me you're a "liberal" I instantly know your position on abortion, charter schools, Title IX, breast implants, affirmative action, police shootings, and a hundred other issues. Liberals are pre-programmed #NPCs.

        And that's a bad thing? that only shows conservatives have more diversity of opinion (the only kind of diversity that does matter). That they don't all agree on issues which is a good thing. Unlike those on the left who all follow a single ideology with no ideological divergence

        Why is it a good thing, exactly? It's indicates that policy is not what "conservatives" orient their political party around - and suggests some other organizing principle is in play (cough cough it's race and to a lesser extent, gender).

        So the people who demand coerced conformity are less tolerant of diverse opinions than the people who believe in individual liberty. Imagine that.

        That's actually expected if your hypothesis was that the conservative movement in America is, by large, more anti-liberal than pro-anything. When you're simply against something, you can be anything but what it is you're against.

        Although we really shouldn't be calling them liberals. They are anything but-- Leftists. Marxists. Communists. Socialists. But liberal? No, they don't deserve that word.

        It’s not difficult to get a bunch of liberals to organize. But trying to organize conservatives is like herding cats.

        So you claim, and yet GOP votes lockstep for horribly unpopular policy not even their own voters like. Then get reelected anyway. Seems pretty easy tbh.

        Um, what’s the sample size as the method for determining divergence of thought? Actually, the results are basically that large groups of humans who appear similar actually have a wide variety of opinions. Absolute shocker!
