And mine is that that’s, respectfully, incorrect. There’s no partisan canard more banal than “other side dumb”. If you can’t understand why millions of well-intentioned people make different choices to you, what beliefs lead to those choices and where those beliefs come from; if you don’t understand how things like conservative media and the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute and opinion leaders like David French all interact and intersect to produce the maelstrom of the US right - from the beliefs of the base all the way to Congressional GOP policy - then you simply won’t be able to effectively reach people on the right. You’ll be just as ineffective at political persuasion as some right winger ranting about how all Democrats are just “dumb leftie communists”, or some such.
