DIONNE’S HEAD, HE WANTS INTO OURSThere’s a certain kind of liberal who likes to tell conservatives what they should think about this or that matter in order to be true to conservatism. He has no counterpart on the other side of the political divide. I know of no conservative who gets off on telling liberals what they should think about anything. We tend to confine ourselves to pointing out liberal hypocrisy.
What explains this difference between liberals and conservatives? Perhaps it’s just that conservatives are less inclined to waste time telling people who don’t share our perspective what they should think. Maybe liberals are more sanctimonious than conservatives. It might have something to do with conservatives getting into heads of liberals more than the other way around.

In his latest column, Dionne warns conservatives of the dangers of supporting Trump and wonders why conservatives do so. The only explanation he can come up with is that we want to “stick it to the libs†(as the title of his print edition column says), especially those in the mainstream media.
1. When Libs/Progs profess to understand conservatives, expect something stupid and/or hilarious.
2. When Libs/Progs who wish conservatives ill offer conservatives advice, remember they wish us ill.
3. When Libs/Progs who do not care to understand conservatives tell conservatives what they should to be "true conservatives", remember their ignorance and laugh.
