    I gave one of them that response once. They just looked at me weird, like they couldn’t comprehend that I actually meant it. A few seconds later they just left the room without a word.

      I’ve had the same kind of thing happen in various circumstances. I think they really, deep down, don’t believe you on this, and if you manage to convince them of this, it’s like something shorts out in their head.

      They really just cannot comprehend that. Not the marks in the base, anyway.

      Their thought leaders do comprehend, and use that kind of morality as a weapon, because they know Democrats actually GAF about citizens and outcomes, etc. Republicans will just hold the entire nation hostage because they don’t.
