Gosh, it's hard to see where people get the impression that they're being condescended to. It's a pity they're so easily manipulated into voting against their own best interests.
- realtalk_sp 7y agoThe problem with your line of reasoning is that people voting Republican with their eyes wide open, fully understanding what the party is doing, would necessarily be even MORE foolish. Choosing to believe they're instead being manipulated is a more charitable interpretation of their behavior. Also, I'm obviously just one person expressing an opinion. But yes, any Republican strategist worth his salt (and you seem like someone who might do a sparkling job of it) would squeeze this picked cherry for all it's worth. Ergo all liberals are condescending. Q.E.D.
