Regarding the link between Conservative politics and "low effort" thinking, isn't it also possible that if you're an expert Conservative political "true believer" and/or operative, you don't need much effort to think. You just act instinctively in accord with core, underlying "Conservative values."
It would appear that many Conservative LEADERS (and their followers saturating the blogosphere and right-wing media) are EXPERT POLITICAL SOCIO/.PATHS skilled at intentionally inflicting emotional and mental distress, foisting Sharia-esque sovereignty over our society, minds and bodies, while spreading discredited and ra.cst conspiracy theories and talking points.
Thus, "low effort thinking" is an advantage to the politics of such individuals and the Conservative movement. It short-circuits any CONSCIENCE one might have and therefore mitigates feelings of guilt or shame, which could "corrupt" their ability to enact their agenda of "FULL SPECTRUM DOMINION & DOMINANCE" including privatization of the public sphere, controlling family planning, health, and partnership choices, as well as our bodies and its contents - whether blood, urine, zygotes, embryos, etc.
BRILLIANT!
