Except this isn't saying "Population A has a lower rate of colon cancer than populations B, C, and D, let's use a ton of research and data collection to try and figure out why to help out other populations." This article is "Let's look at conservatives, call them gullible so we can be smug about it, and use a bunch of conjecture and spurious logic to so we can feel self assured and self righteous in our smugness all the while not actually striving to achieve any social good except to further polarize and ostracize the other in our own minds." The dude keeps on saying things like "conservatives think this" and "conservatives approach the world in this way" in situations to imply they cold, calculating, cowardly, or what ever and never even addresses how those world views can be beneficial both for people as individuals and as collective communities. This is a smear piece.
