Why is there so much interest in this story? Is it because conservatives love it because it makes liberals look so bad and ridiculous?

In fact, that's the main advantage of education. As you point out, it's long been established that the lack of these traits is much more common in conservatives than in liberals (I mean, that's how Trumps happen), but Smollett is probably a good example of that same failing on the left.




Annnndddd, here we go with the Trumpian logic - "if you present an intelligent argument to my ridiculous assertions, that is further proof that I am right!"
Yes, I'm sure some liberal "think tank" told you as much.

Perhaps to people easily triggered all of these are crimes of violence, but all it does is prove my point.

Several of them are literally proven hoax crimes, complete with arrests.

There is no apology because I'm sure he can't speak to the public right now. He turned himself in today. It's an ongoing investigation.

When he finally pleads this down, he will give some apology, and it will be as meaningless as his performance on GMA. Who cares about his apology?

Not just the media, all Democratic politicians. You would be lucky to find their now erased tweets.

Most of the MAGA base didn't even know who he was until this hoax happened.

The liberal media, liberal politicians and liberal Hollywood made this story what it is. It was covered ad nauseam before it became a hoax story and now you think it should go away?
