What is your opinion/rebuttal to this common sentiment that liberals believe about right wing ideology?

submitted by Nasser from self.debatealtright

"Right wing propaganda appeals to ignorant and immature people, to the point that they are specifically targeted by it online. No demographic is more ignorant and immature than teenagers"

I've noticed this sentiment is common in left wing spaces on reddit and twitter, especially when the likes of Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan are discussed. It's point is to belittle right wing viewpoints and portray their ideology as the mature and "correct" one. What do you think is the best counter argument when they raise this point?

It's simply a way for them to never engage with wrongthink information while maintaining their illusion of moral superiority. It's a coping mechanism.

Right wing morons absolutely exist, but it's no different to Left-Wingers having their own version.

Based on voting polls, 80% of Black Americans always vote Democrat making them Liberals. Yet their average IQ is still seen as the lowest amongst all U.S races.

In reality, Right/Left doesn't occupy intelligence spaces. Race does.

Just another example of middle class people constantly sucking up to power and flexing their higher socioeconomic status above poor people who they hate for not being bourgeois enough.

Veblen had their number over a century ago.

They are right in the sense that truth is easy to convey to an audience and that simple minded people will easily be persuaded by true statements.

It requires a rather average/high IQ to be convinced by/understand leftist mental gymnastics. This is also where the leftist midwit NPC meme came from.

They're wrong in the sense that ignorant and immature people often fall for leftist slogans that don't require any brain cells, like Black Lives Matter and the like. Statements that most people agree with when they hear them and that they then use for political agendas.

Leftists are liars, hypocrites and pretenders.

I've tried pointing out that right leaning people aren't the cartoon villains they've been taught but they don't listen. It's a tactic, painting their ideological opposition as dumb and evil.

Open to ideas.

It's projection.
