Why do conservatives on here believe that liberals are only liberal because they were "brainwashed" or "indoctrinated"?

I guess for the same reason liberals think that if conservatives knew how to think they would all be liberals. Does that make sense. Also add the this, talk to a few young people still in or just out of college. Depending on where they went to school most will admit the instructors lean left and try to push their views down the throats of their students.

So silly. You’re turning this thread into a joke.

Not really, see there seems to be people who think they're conservatives but are actually libertarians, and that muddies the waters in these type of discussions

The view of a professor is based on the professors own views, most of mine where conservative.

Which means to not have to give them aid, aka your dreaded "redistribution", you'd have to sterilize them to not have kids in the first place, or take their children and adopt them out to families with more means

Yeah, I figured that’s what you were getting at...just very twisted to frame it as forced sterilization.

I notice that Marxist types do that a lot. They’ll first claim a right to someone else’s labor or resources, then act as if the person being forced is actually the one using force. Or the old classic “Work for a paycheck or starve? That’s not a choice, it’s a threat.” Anyone who says that one has zero perspective.

Incompetent and weak. Unfortunately we have a huge supply of that in this country.
