Democrats have negative intelligence. They are intelligent tool using homonids just like normal people, but they diligently use their intelligence to find new and exciting ways not to understand a single goddamn thing about the world around them.
They just do not fucking understand at all, in any way whatsoever, who the fash (well, the other fash) are and why they believe what they believe and behave as they behave. The amount of pig-headed ignorance, the absolute refusal to understand the enemy, is FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
Not to bring up old news, but if you ever want to (try) convince someone this is BS, point out some of the attacks from the 2008 election from the general republican electorate (CW: extreme racism and jingoism). I know Obama was , but the hogs will manufacture the same level of vile attack for someone like this too.
