is that anecdotal or do you have an expert study to back it up?
as an aside, liberals are the ones who abhor common sense. right wing types will generally use the power of observation to draw conclusions, while liberals throw 'expert data' in your face.
examples:
R: there are two genders, because that's what we've seen since the dawn of man.
L: no, there are in fact one thousand (or none) because Dr.Leftinexpert did a study that shows this.
R: A certain subset of the population commits most of the violent crime.
L: No, we need gun control.
R: the school system sucks. teachers are miserable because 5-10% of the class ruins it for everyone else.
L: while our studies indicate people are magically smarter since federal law said they had to be...or else.
R: the only people dying from covid are old and weak. certainly not children.
L: if you dont wear a mask, you are essentially a terrorist. if your kid doesnt wear one he cant be educated.
