The media has gone on too long believing we're a bunch of mind-numb dolts, too stupid to know what we have heard or seen. We got to see all of the voting problems going on, and the media is trying to tell us that that's not what we actually saw. I'm telling you, folks are getting fed up.
GENERALLY - that's fine with me but for one reason.
When I was in middle school, I was terrible at sports. I couldn't dribble, and I couldn't catch a football - well, often. I was taller than everyone in class, and I got the wrong end of most fights, which were daily. Overwhelming consensus - SamSpade is a weakling.
So one day we were playing baseball in the park at the end of the road for gym class. Two guys on, two outs - and I'm up to bat. The other team blew me kisses and insulted me - and the pitcher tossed me a ball very lightly and from about ten feet closer to the plate.
And I erased that ball. As I rounded second I could see the caps flying off the outfielders running after the ball as they chased it into the woods, and the guys on my team were still screaming "holy SH!T" as I came home. One of the more satisfying moments of my life.
They GROSSLY underestimated me. They assumed because I had no will to fight or couldn't do a layup that I was a weakling. In reality, there was probably only one person in that class physically stronger than me. I just sucked at sports, skill-wise.
I did the same thing the next time at bat.
They forgot all about it the next day, and it was back to 'normal'.

As long as the left continually underestimates the right, we will beat them. Not always, but often enough. When you're in a battle of wits and your opponent thinks you're stupid - you have an advantage that he gave you.
I did say - "generally". The accusation of knuckle dragging Neanderthal is a bit tiresome. I'm USED to it, but it doesn't mean I like it. The constant drone of condescension does have the effect of wearing down the right - a bit. It's when they profoundly piss us off that we put it back in gear.
They're about to do this for the next two years.
