That the ideas some have of what people are like does not entirely comport with the reality of what people are like.

This idea only works in a world where conservative voters actually are the cartoon characters that get depicted within a partisan bubble.

This is fun, but maybe let's start reading other sources for news and information. We need workable, viable, functional solutions to our problems that involve having real, objective knowledge of how the opposition ticks. The tree house theories are entertaining, but we have adult problems now. This stuff isn't helpful.
