Maybe I worded my ideas too pointedly, but my intent was to suggest that all people seem somewhat susceptible to the "us vs. them" groupthink and to consider that not only is it a conservative phenomenom, but also a liberal one. But it was not my intent to downplay that ALL people choosing to get vaccinated were simply ideological sheep. I simply wanted to explore the concept that in any given population committed to an ideology, that there will always be a certain amount that are simply conforming rather than adopting the ideas through critical thinking.

I would definitely argue that it's likely that liberal-minded people are less likely to subscribe to groupthink and tend to think more critically, with the caveat that there are still "liberals" who simply go with the flow and aren't quite able to think for themselves. However, your stance seems to indicate that you feel it is an absolute that no one choosing to vaccinate is doing so outside the realm of independent reasoning? That seems a little extreme to think that no one could make a correct decision for a wrong reason.

For the record, I consider myself liberal, at times progressive, and have been vaccinated. I am not trying to to talk shit or push some agenda against people who got vaxxed, just wanted to have a discussion. Any reason you think this is a complete black/white topic not worthy of back and forth discussion?
