Jonathan Gruber famously claimed that the ACA was structured in a complex, opaque way to fool "stupid" voters into supporting it. And who is Mr. Gruber calling stupid? Why the people who supported the law: the heart and soul of the Democratic coalition. The press, academe, unions, government workers, single moms, minorities, liberals and the poor. Gruber says that these people are stupid and easily deceived and manipulated.
But he is also implicitly saying that some other people aren't so stupid. Specifically: tea partiers, white evangelicals and devout Christians, conservatives, business owners, private sector workers, Republicans.
Amazing isn't it? The technocracy is so arrogant, so sure of itself that is will blithely refer to and treat its supporters as stupid dupes. But give Gruber credit where it's due: While he gets zero for one hundred for style he gets full marks for accuracy.
But leftists love to be victims and on that the Obami are quite obliging...more at the link.
