Conservatives rely on low effort thinking
I don't think I've been accused of high effort thinking

I'll accept that criticism on the grounds that yeah, I and others I've met that self-describe as "conservative" or are right-wing in general tend to think readily in terms of what I would could "thinking along the path of least resistance"; they use thinking derived from intuiting their knowledge. Some -like much of the left side of politics, unfortunately- derive much of outlook of the world directly from their passions and prejudices. Fault of the species, I suppose, but my passions dictate that I pride myself on how rational I am and how utilitarian my reasoning ultimately is.
How willing a person is to analyze and critically think to solve problems aside, I'm willing to bet both left and right wing is equally afflicted with demagogues in the states.
And yes, I'm back for a few days again.
blablablah
the sky is also blue.
I believe most Americans are probably not aware that their left wing party is still more right wing than most first world countries' right wing parties.
We currently have a right wing party in government (The Conservatives), which is more right wing than most of Europe. But still more left wing than Obama..
