Ignorance and bigotry exist across all groups.  Age, culture, religion, class, and education don't excuse it or make it acceptable - period.  So, I think the question itself is irrelevant.

But I am also curious why you know the political views of your grocery bagger, unless you know them personally, of course.

"I couldn't help but notice that you've separately bagged the zucchini and the KY, what's that all about?"

"Don't talk to me! I don't want AIDS, sinner!"

"Whoa whoa, man, relax. I'm buying these for.. my sister. Uh.. hey, why do you hate gays?"

"Like all Oxford alumni I am a member of the Order of the Grocery Baggers. We have pledged to fight the deflowering of anuses."

"Oh, can I be right back? I forgot the whipped cream."

"Burn in hell!"

it's best not to have the conclusion of your argument be that a large group of people hold views because, when it's all said and done, they are simply "dumb."

I will admit that most people who hold these views tend not to have the best critical thinking skillsets in tow, but they do have reasons even if they aren't evidence-based. They also have empathy and, as far as open-mindedness goes, I don't exactly blame them for being hostile to different ideas when the people who are advocating them are at the same time calling them flatly "dumb."

So while I don't blame you for feeling this way, I think you'd be doing your "side" better by not saying it out loud and then trying to justify it.
