Before we begin, we should acknowledge that Candace Owens doesn’t know things.
There’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t know how to make guacamole and don’t like dips. I have never even eaten an avocado. For this reason, I have recused myself from dip-related conversations. But, if I, like Candace Owens, did not know anything, I might be willing to offer commentary on avocado-based dips. While this may seem like an attack on Candace Owens and her fellow conservatives, it is not. Many people have derided Candace Owens’ unceasingly illogical commentary, but it is quite possible that she is just dumb.

Although many of the things Owens says are quantifiably wrong, she is not required to know things. Not knowing things is one of the most important requirements to serving as a conservative mouthpiece. Republicans don’t have to actually know about Critical Race Theory to write legislation banning it from schools. They aren’t required to read Martin Luther King Jr.’s actual words in order to tell you what MLK would have wanted. They don’t have to spend a second in a Black community to know what’s wrong with it.
For conservatives, not knowing things is actually an asset, ranking second in importance to whining about things. Republicans love playing the victim. They will suppress Black voters and still have a hissy fit about elections being rigged. They will hold a “March against Sharia” while claiming that a gay birthday cake, heathen Starbucks cups or taking a dump in the stall next to a transgender person are assaults against their religious liberties. Negro Santas, coffee machines and radical, pro-Black virtual assistants are just a few things that have caused widespread Caucasian consternation in the past few years.
