Being a Democrat must be a real burden. After all, hanging out with a bunch of ignorant rubes who don't understand the basic concepts of collectivism has to be tedious. And providing those ignorant rubes with some ejucatin is obviously more than a full-time job. And there are just so many ignorant rubes out there to be ejucatin. Look how many voted for President Trump!
For some reason, us ignorant rubes just don't get it, despite the glorious public education we received. Twelve years of public education, plus four — or more — additional years in institutes of higher learning and we're still not able to understand Democrat politicians.
That fact is really weighing on man-hating Senator Mazie Hirono (DUH-Hawaii), who thinks men should "shut up." Answering a question from journalist Dahlia Lithwick at the "Bend Towards Justice" conference in Washington, D.C., about what Democrats need to do to make their voters care more about the judicial system, Hirono said Democrats aren't connecting with voters because Democrats are so "smart" and "know too much."
"One of the things that we Democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people's hearts instead of here [points at brain]," Hirono said. "We're really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [points to brain] but not here [points to heart]."
"I've been saying it at all our Senate Democratic retreats we need to speak to the heart, not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody's fears and resentments, but truly to speak to the hearts so that people know that we're actually on their side."
"When you have a really hard time doing that and one of the reasons that was shown to me at one of our retreats was that we Democrats know so much, that is true," she continued. "We have to kind of tell everyone how smart we are and so we have a tendency to be very left-brain."
A couple of things jump out at me, but I'm too dumb to be a Democrat so I may be missing something. First, if you have to "tell everyone how smart" you are, you ain't so smart. Second, Hirono says Democrats are good at "shoving out all the information" that touches the brain, but not the heart. Smart people connect intellectually and are swayed based on knowledge and logic. Emotional people react based on feelings (from the heart), so she's missing something... or I am.
And it's clear collectivists/leftists care deeply about the judicial system. They were screaming like banshees, getting themselves thrown out of the hearing, trying to knock doors down and fabricating all manner of nonsensical stories about Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing in order to "save" the judiciary.
Liberalism is an emotional ideology. Always has been. That's one of many reasons leftists want to shut down contrarian speech. They can't argue a point based on facts so they scream at you, call you names or have you silenced.
And Hirono's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. She can't even understand the basic concept of "illegal."
Although now I would say that liberals (leftists actually as the last thing they are is liberal), are in fact ignorant, and deranged, and evil.
Always has been. That's one of many reasons leftists want to shut down contrarian speech. They can't argue a point based on facts so they scream at you, call you names or have you silenced.
Hirono claiming sbe’s smart is perfect example of how idiotic democrats are.
First, as Tywin Lannister kept telling his grandson, King Joffrey (the putz), “If you must tell them that you are the king, then you are no king at all!” (from Game of Thrones)
Second, I already acquired my 12 years, plus, BEFORE Jimmy “the pre-generational Obama” Carter shoved hi hands into it and made that wonderful poo-bucket called the Dept. of Education. So, by then, I had witnessed enough politicians to know that the only 2 half-way decent Democrats to ever exist, were already dead and gone with bullets in their brains. And time has proved out that theorem to be exceedingly accurate.
Lastly, coming out of the mouth of that DNC skullfaced (he reminds of Capt. America’s Red Skull bad guy), that a young hoss-faced skinny and all bones female bartender who ran as a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, is the “new spirit of the Democratic Party”, to which I reply: “I spent 3 years in Southeast Asia killing Communists. I damn sure ain’t gonna ever vote for one!”
They know a lot about lying and stealing.
It’s called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Democrats think smart is clever, and then declare themselves the better of the two.
Regarding Democrats, Proverbs 26:12 comes to mind.
Listen to the rotten Pineapple bureaucrat from Hawaii and tell me a lib is smart.
Crazy Mazie strikes again.
elitism + paternalism + feelings of moral superiority = leftardism
As a youngster, I was often told that common sense would take one much further than book smarts.
Now, decades later, I find that possession of common sense is a burden because so few of our elected ‘leaders’ possess it.
Democrats were raised thinking they were so bright. And they were too smart to cook clean sew and have a likable personality.they had to excell in a very few characteristics. I often feel sorry for many Democrats because they lack so much genuine goodness and confidence. They aren’t programmed for joy.
All they do is appeal to the most visceral passions.
Trouble is, i didn't fully ex[lain so she may not know the song, "If I only had a brain..."
