Line 14: − + − :* They have trouble understanding some of the slightly abstract concepts in conservatism, such as "more guns, less crime," and "less taxes, more revenue." − :* They are more comfortable discussing simple issues like race and poverty than complex issues like globalism. − :* Intellectual myopia - failure to heed the long-term consequences of ideological positions that seem beneficial in the short term. − :* Stereotyping: They knew a conservative whom they disliked for some reason, and tar all others with the same brush. − :* Ignorance: politics isn't a priority for some people.
