Precisely. The biggest difference between Liberals and Conservatives is that Liberals think Americans are stupid and super-malleable. Notice how that is always their fall-back position when suffering a blow (like the MA election results or Air America closing. ‘Well those people are just stupid.’) Leaving the bog-swamps of the left I remember consciously feeling and thinking, “good, now I don’t have to think people are stupid anymore.” I never really did because one side of my family was rural working class, not formally educated but possessed of native smarts and drive. I hated all the leftist condescension heaped upon the working class I overheard in college. I hated it and I took it personally; it probably kept me from being a certified leftist cuckoo. You never hear conservatives saying about Liberals: they’re stupid (lots of other things though)!

Try this thought experiment: Conservatives can understand Liberals but Liberals cannot understand Conservatives…why?
