In the USA, conservative “leaders” are typically control freak bullies who want a population that is easy to manipulate, which is why they prefer most of their constituents be less educated so they don’t realize how much BS they’re being fed until it’s too late. They are the same in every country, regardless of what name they go by.

ETA: Your inability to recognize or appreciate the joke because you’re too primed to be offended speed how well trained they have you.
