"Part of the reason people I know find many progressive politicians
hard to support is their smug assumption that they are the sole guardians
of reason, and that if you don't support their grand socialistic plans,
you're clearly an unthinking yokel. Unsurprisingly that rubs people the
wrong way."

"Substitute 'conservative' for 'progressive', 'holders of values'
for 'guardians of reason', and 'fa[s]cistic' for 'socialistic', and
you just made as good an argument for people who dislike the GOP as
you did for people disliking the Democrats."
