Re: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “I Have A Degree” but just no education!!!
It only becomes ever more obvious that by far the most outstanding characteristic of today's most prominent hard core Republican conservatives is their lack of and utter disdain for education and scientific reality. They are very much like flat-earthers and young earth creationists in that respect, which a significant proportion of them probably are.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I actually think their most outstanding characteristic is hypocrisy. Second is stupidity and third is reveling in asshole behavior.
Antipathy toward science and education is only a byproduct of those primary features.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Well thought out response, POMM. You made me rethink what I said. I will amend my view to agree that antipathy toward science and education is a byproduct of those primary characteristics rather than a primary characteristic itself, probably one of the most, if not the most, evident and dangerous consequences of those characteristics.

That was awesome. No wonder they don't like her. She speaks openly and clearly and calls out their BS.

Why Does the Left Fear Sarah Palin?

Thank goodness we know what a laughable comparison that is now don't we. Sarah Palin was one of the most embarrassingly stupid politicians in history. Funny how those types always choose to run as Republicans.

Wow. Still butthurt over Palin, a decade later.
But, yes - Palin was amusing, wasn’t she? Not even Fox News could keep her propped up for too long given her crazy cat lady antics.

How did Sarah Palin ever manage to win election to Governor of Alaska?

No matter; she ended up quitting before the end of her term anyway.
