I found out about it yesterday. Because I like to see what clownery the people at r/conservatives are up to. They were bragging about how great the Super Straight movement is.

Not to pick on this one reply, but this is exactly what is wrong with US politics today. I'm a fairly liberal person, pretty much on everything but guns and PC culture, so I understand the sentiment in that reply.

However, automatically assuming something is "clownery" or otherwise bad or dismissable just because the opposite side of the aisle promotes it is exactly why we are so divided. This person automatically dismissed the super straight movement because those evil conservative clowns were talking about it.

That takes no critical thinking skills whatsoever. Just blind allegiance to a political position.
