Uh huh. And newspapers don’t understand why readership is at all-time lows. And Target doesn’t understand why its sales are down. And Hollywood doesn’t understand why nobody is going to their movies.

And there are plenty of people who don't understand the popularity of one Donald Trump. This article actually makes me hopeful that there really is a true disconnect between the media and large swaths of the populace. That means millions are simply not listening to the media and will vote accordingly.

And newspapers don’t understand why readership is at all-time lows. And Target doesn’t understand why its sales are down. And Hollywood doesn’t understand why nobody is going to their movies. The denial is strong ...

On the mark, yet incomplete: You forgot one: And Illary won't understand why voters (other than dead ones & politico hacks & IT hackers hackin' into voting software) just didn't see her as POTUS POTential.

"The denial is strong ..." What the NFL and other liberal-infested organizations are displaying with their lack of understanding related to the consequences of their policies is not "denial."

It's pre-operational egocentrism.

This is a stage of early childhood development (as described by Piaget) wherein the child believes that the world must surely function in the way the child sees it to function. For example, if the child hides his eyes while standing right in front of you, he assumes you cannot see him because he cannot see you. The child operates under the absolute conviction that something is true (or correct, or even rightfully his) simply because he believes it to be so. For example, the child takes toys that he desires from the hands of others, and becomes disruptive to the point of violence when his wishes are refused.

During this stage of development, the child is incapable of understanding the connection between bad behavior and consequences. This is why, for example, when an adult takes the toy away from the child and returns it to its original possessor, the child insists that the toy is his and may even act out to the point of hitting the owner of the toy or the adult who corrects the child, or even breaking the toy so that nobody else can enjoy it.

So there you have it: Hollywood, Target, Black Lives Matter, the LGBT movement, University faculties, our government at all levels, and the NFL are led and staffed by people who never moved past the pre-operational egocentrism stage of development.

In other words, we are surrounded on all sides by a crowd of spoiled, whiny brats who would rather steal from others and pee in the sandbox than take the values of others into consideration and assume responsibility for themselves.

The children are running the daycare.
