    I think at least part of the issue is that somehow they don’t think of themselves as active opposition or feckless.

    Nancy Pelosi genuinely thinks she can forever take money from the same people funding the Republicans and get away with decades of not actually helping people because she’s completely out of touch with what real people are experiencing.

    She really thinks she’s somehow an effective stalwart against all this, and she probably thinks we’re all just making a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to Trumps obvious coup in progress.

    This goes for lots of party insiders like Pelosi, not just Pelosi herself, who is used here as an example that everyone is familiar with. She’s not a mastermind, she’s just one of many people who have been so disconnected from real American life for so long they genuinely don’t realize how badly they are losing.

    These are not and never were clever people, nor were they or are they courageous.
