[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76345644, member: 302807"] There's a study a few years back that showed an unexpected conclusion. Those on the right understand the positions of the left better than the left understands the right. If you want to know why...blame left wing media. CNN knows that portraying vaccine mandate disapproval as mainly an issue of bodily autonomy and government overreach won't engage their audience. It might even become a discussion. I'd say it's the number one reason why conservatives resist mandates. If I were to poll the left though, I would think they imagine that the right is largely engaged in a delusional fantasy involving computer chips, end times, and blood sacrifice because a very tiny number are...and they get 95% of the attention of the media. Similarly, the CRT thing is portrayed as delusional thinking about a college only course that is in no way being taught in schools. It doesn't matter that national teacher organizations have admitted they are teaching CRT concepts in schools. Portrayal is of racist, history hating, delusional parents. If you only listen to Breitbart or something like that on the right....you probably have a similarly distorted view of the left. That's very hard to do though because left wing views are expressed everywhere from Saturday Night Live to Twitter to CNN. It's a much broader and more moderated picture....so the result is that the left has only a caricature of the right, and the right pretty closely understands the left. [/QUOTE]
