Democrats are the party of I Don’t Get It.
I learned years ago that liberals think emotionally and not linearly, so each defeat angers them and they make hasty wrong conclusions. They also choose to live in their liberal bubble and so they don’t know any conservatives. When a lib loses some power, they can’t even fathom that THEY might have slipped up or over-reached. It’s like trying to reason with fifth graders.
I think that Obama doesn’t get it, because in his mind, it’s so obvious that Obamacare and socialism are what is needed to cure all of the ills of society. And in his mind, anyone who doesn’t agree is not thinking straight, or not thinking clearly due to fear about the future, or clinging to a gun or religion due to their fears.
In the liberal mind, their policies are the only reasonable possible solution to society’s problems. Anyone who doesn’t get it is either uneducated, in which case the liberal feels pity for him/her, or else opponents are just not thinking through the issues properly to come to the conclusion that liberalism is the answer to all problems.
