I'm a bit confused. John seems to be suggesting that progressive operate at a higher intellectual level. I see nothing of the sort. Granted, politics for all of time has relied on overly simplistic 'solutions'. Yes, Trump oversimplifies, but so does AOC, Maxine Waters, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff (outright liar), Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris (clueless idiot), Joe Biden (remember him?), anyone at CNN, and most other progressives.
