I must say though, that I come to think the research is accurate since it largely agrees with my own assessments of these people and the phenomenon. You see what is said re the CT, that they are seeking validation that they are superior, presumably for being part of the in-crowd (they know what the in-crowd knows), even though these dummies gather their info from bs like youtube vids and the like. They are therefore people who though they (laughable) imagine themselves independent thinkers need the security of a group "think" so are easily suckered by hucksters. They haven't the true conviction of their own observation and reason, of the true freethinker, but rather are little more than dumb herd animals. Is that harsh? Too bad.
