vuphoria asked: I agree with everything you said about that gif set except "AND WHO ACTUALLY BOASTS ABOUT REPUBLICANS NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THEY EXPLAIN." You misunderstood it. She means Republicans can explain something to you, but they can't MAKE you understand it. Which is actually true for anyone explaining something to anyone lol.

As I’ve already said here, I realise she didn’t intend to make herself sound like an idiot; but in this instance, her poor phraseology strikes me as being something of a Freudian slip. Because all too often, Republicans talking about issues like health care, birth control or rape really DON’T understand the topics they’re trying to explain.
