griefer,

Well, I would explain to you why your attempt to link this discussion with contemporary American politics is flawed …

… but I’m afraid you wouldn’t understand.

You see, you’re not an historian, politician, philosopher, psychologist, or political scientist. The concepts are simply beyond your comprehension — I’m afraid you just haven’t taken enough courses to have ascended to the proper level of cognition. It’s simply too complex and involved a process for your comprehension, and in all probability you’re simply too far behind now ever to catch up.

Sorry.

(By the way, in case I’m wrong, will you please list your college-level coursework. I’d like to do my own research into the exact mechanism that makes you an unassailable paragon of scientific, philosophical, and American political intellectual juggernautery. More apropos, I’d like to compare your courses with mine, hopefully to identify just what subjects I need to master before advancing to your level of intellectual prowess. Thank you.)
