Listening to the worthless US news media constantly telling them this is a "center right" country, whatever the hell that means, makes a deep impression on their tiny brains.

Then consider the fact that even when they are in their district, they spend far more time meeting with wealthy donors than they do with Joe Average taxpayers.

No wonder they think we're all a bunch of brain dead drooling right wing loons.
