apparently we are just too dumb to figure out the question
That is the new #1 talking point.

I just heard it on a story on NPR (yes, guilty I am of listening) on the elections in which the meme was repeated over and over again that it's "mindless irrational anger" that's driving the current political "mood" and that if only people would just calm down and think more clearly they wouldn't fall for the talk of the "extremists". And we all know who THEY are!

This is the same line that the president was using last week, people are being irrational because of fear. Can hardly wait for November 2.

That's just a tweak on the MSM analysis of the 1994 midterm elections, in which the GOP gained back control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Back then, it was "angry white males" that were driving the vote. Maybe the anger isn't as limited this time around.
