One of the examples he gave was how conservatives were howling about immigration before it was even a problem, then admitted it's a problem now. He can't reconcile that sometimes pointing out the threat has nothing to do with fear but with wisdom. He went on to talk about how they are ranting about crime, but the stats don't show an increase in crime. He'll see in a few years, but he won't remember the warning by then.

Smart people seem to forget other people aren't smart. They also think people in positions or degrees like them are smart. So they say look at the data, it shows no increase. What they forget is they are only looking at data that is captured. They stop there because MSM, who wouldn't lie to them, told them the data shows it's fine. They don't care to look further and see the cities not reporting data anymore or the fact that crimes aren't reported, investigated, or charged. The stats are manipulated to remain the same while the reality is much different and these liberals usually aren't affected.

I disagree.  Intelligent people view most people as intellectually inferior to them and thus appoint themselves to help us poor savages because clearly us intellectually inferior people are incapable of taking care of ourselves.  All the while never realizing the stark contrast between intelligence, education and wisdom.
