It’s simple. They don’t understand the way the world works because all they’ve ever done is school, which is an unnatural situation led by liberals.

I remember when I was in high school. Weekly Reader published a quiz on “Are you a Republican or a Democrat” (This was when 18 year olds first got the vote). Almost every kid in the class, including me, was superliberal, according to the quiz.

So I took it home (I wasn’t supposed to) and gave it to my conservative mother. She answered the quiz opposite every answer I gave, and explained WHY. It was hard to understand her logic, but now I realize she was right in all her answers, simply because I’ve now been there.

That would have been the 1972 election, in that election, the 18 to 29 year old vote went 52% Republican to 46% Democrat.
