I pretty much agree.

RW propaganda tends to appeal to people's emotions, and not their intelligence.

With at least one exception: I know some people who think that if you work hard enough, you'll be wealthy, and so only people who don't want to work hard vote to "penalize" those who "earned" their wealth. They think they're intelligent. They think they're better than others. These kind of people aren't rare. But, they aren't sneering at "educated opinions". They're sneering at inferiors.
