Over the years, I’ve discovered the distinguishing feature of leftists is not irrationality, ignorance or badness, although those qualities are often present. The distinguishing, most widespread feature of leftists is gullibility.
It makes sense.
It takes epic levels of gullibility to believe that you can entrust the least morally and intellectually capable members of society (politicians) with unwarranted power and earned money to reshape human beings not just into what they cannot be, but should never be.
