    It’s kinda ironic that this professor warns us against speech that dehumanizes our opponents, then categorizes people into groups led by ancient and spooky brain malfunctions and those who have “critical thinking”, and thusly immune. I guess they were self aware enough to at least not use the term “lizard brain”.

    Maybe MAGAs have deplorable brains because they’re deplorable people? I’m pretty sure that if the professor checked, their bones are deplorable; their spleens are deplorable; and their big toenail is deplorable too.

      Can you really not see the difference between:

      • “I assert that this group of people suffers from a specific cognitive mishap which I am citing detailed research for the existence of,” and
      • “I assert that this group of people are a parasitic class of anti-white vermin” or “a cabal of satanic, cannibalistic abusers of children” or etc?
