Yeah I know people on Twitter and Facebook and everything are ignorant too but what specifically about Redditors makes them obnoxiously liberal? The average Facebook user is like 65 and they grew up huffing lead and being told they were gonna get nuked by commies so obviously they're gonna be psychotic and the cringiest Twitter users are usually some type of bougie 40 year old.
they have the most obnoxious lib tendency of "I read NYT, FT and New Republic, I like to take every view before I form an opinion."
that's where the smugness comes from. They overlook the ideological battle. Anyone who says something that's out of touch with their ideology is just ignorant because they havent been marinated in liberal ideology.
There's also viewing those sources as representing the full spectrum of opinions on a subject, too.
they probs dont even read from one outlet on a regular basis. you dont have to read shit to be a liberal, consuming entertainment and ads is enough to get the whole thing down.
the obnoxiousness is in that attitude. someone tells them something they disagree with, they respond with "read more." the more honest response would be "consume more."
