    What? I’m not “looking over” anyone or treating anyone as children. I don’t understand how you can confuse compassion for paternalism. I’m saying they’re full people capable of forming their own opinions about what is best for their interests and you’re calling them idiots.

    I can disagree with them without condemning them or insulting them and it’s not clear why you would attack me or them.

    I’m blaming them for exercising their rights? I’m blaming Trump voters for being idiots and working class Trump voters as being the biggest idiots.

    So, they’re idiots, but you’re not blaming them? I’m not sure I understand. It’s either because they’re dumb (your position) or it’s because they have one lever to pull and the Democratic party hasn’t given them anything since FDR (my position). I’m actively sympathizing with them while you’re insulting them.
