This kind of "it's just common sense" talk that doesn't understand the basics of anything is what I hear from Trump voters all the time.

RFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"

I wish people would see “common sense” as a social construct instead of an intellectual one

I used to try to ask people what they meant when they said "common sense." They would just shake their head at me and say, "I can't imagine not knowing what common sense is." The idea that they should try to define what they meant was ridiculous to them.
