I do not get the sentiment in the reply here, people, especially marginal voters voting for one thing does not mean the way it happens. (See: Afghanistan) pretending whatever happens will be super popular is just dooming fatalism.

my going explanation for this is that it is sociological. pundits overwhelmingly live in culturally liberal urban areas where they are constantly exposed to a certain progressive cultural milieu in extremely high concentrations. they feel deep resentment and this is projected onto reactionaries!
Is there a psychoanalytic read for the impetus, seemingly ubiquitous among the US pundit class, to automatically exonerate those on the right from any responsibility for their decisions, viewing them as somehow perpetually besieged and behaving in reaction to a morally oppressive left?
