That’s right Democrats. Use small words, speak slower and louder. because we; the electorate, are too stupid to understand your enlightened message.

>>Progressives will make political gains when they stop assuming voters respond to nuanced arguments

The “nuanced arguments” fail because we are NOT stupid and we can see the actual truth. We have two choices: America as it is designed to be, or some Transnational Progressive hellhole that is sliding into Communism (because the TPs designed it that way).

The argument is between freedom and pay for work or slavery and dependence. Unlike other people throughout history who have lined up and marched into slavery, Communism, or a Killing Field, Americans will not do that. We will kill and die first and we prefer the former!

Liberals always believed that if we really just understood them, then we would agree with them. Since we don’t agree, we probably just don’t really understand the issues as well as they do.

What is dumber than:

Equating patriotism and respect for the vision of the founders with so called white supremacy?

Claiming that male can become female and vice versa and that all human endeavors must be halted, reversed and/or retrofitted to comply with this madness?

Claiming that the freest nation on earth is a horrid place for black people when 98% black nations in Africa are corrupt, dangerous, backwards hellholes?

Claiming that homosexual relationships in which one or both partners have a higher incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, depression, suicide, and other neuroses and psychoses are the best place to raise adopted children?

Commandeeering the greatest and most advanced medical system in the world in an attempt to turn it into the IRS, the EPA and/or the Post Office?

Importing millions of people from the Third World who pay no taxes but receive billions in welfare?

James O’Keefe penetrated and prevented their now sophisticated voter fraud. Now RATS can’t come up with anything to save themselves. Flounder and splash water til ya drown, (@(&#ux%&rs.

‘majority of Americans were sufficiently thoughtful and moral to reject the prospect of a historically illiterate’ woman who rode her husband’s coattails, who was afraid to do business on governmnent servers, and has disrespected Americans for decades.

Progressives enjoy making appeals to the goodwill and generosity of Americans

I hardly consider demonizing the productive majority of Americans as "rich" and demanding that the confiscatory powers of Leviathan jack the tax rate, as "appeal(ing) to the...generosity of Americans".

Sure...The United States....

--accounts for 15% of the global energy output yet it...

--consumes 18% of the global energy output

BUT...THE USA TURNS AROUND AND

--produces only 16% of the world's carbon output (yea, I know...fake science...please work with me)

--generates 25% of the global GDP

.....with ONLY 4% of the world population.

So, net-net-net, the US is taking all these factor inputs and, on the backs of vibrant, energetic, entrepreneurial, full of grit-and-determination INDIVIDUALS, punching above our weight to bring more abundance to our nation AND the world.

So we will keep ignoring progressives and keep producing for the US and in the process, feed and produce for the world...THAT is a form of 'generosity' that a progressive will never fathom. If you got a problem with that..well...here is our Spokesman...

God has blessed us Trump followers with stupid enemies.

This article is just one bit of proof of that.

Save for a few dem elitists, the D party knows and counts upon the fact that their constituency is already clueless.....thus:

"TRUMP IS EVIL...don't worry about our policies, we'll take care of you minorities incapable of taking care of yourself."

Yeah, liberals are the Nonesuch of Nuance. As evidenced by “deplorable,” kill whitey, vagina hats, homo parades, antifa riots, anthem kneelers, Oval Office bj’s ... Masters of subtlety, they.

“important social programs”

Can’t get much dumber than that.

“The University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center recently discovered that 37 percent of Americans could not identify a single freedom that the First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees. Only one in four Americans could correctly name all three branches of government.”

And a large majority of those dolts voted for Clinton.
