The left is heavily populated with “credentialed” people, who think that makes them “educated.”
I have found out first hand numerous times how ignorant lefties are about solid history. Many a time, for admittedly sadistic pleasure (shame on me!) I’ve baited traps with historical anecdotes with unusual twists for leftist acquaintances.
My favorite was telling the accounts of Jesse James bragging about shooting Republicans (he wreaked his havoc during Reconstruction). My listeners would invariably take the bait without hesitation, making remarks like, “well, I guess he was good for something then, HA! HA!” That’s when I’d remind them that Republicans were trying to secure the vote and civil rights for blacks, and that Jesse James and his bunch were racists and ardent Democrats. My listeners would then glare at me for being obnoxious and mean. They’re right, as it’s not polite of me to do that, but hey, it’s a guilty pleasure to put down insolent fools who think they’re more highly evolved than the rest of us.
