Description

The fiendish thing about the iron cage of alienation is that the harder you try to escape, the harder that gets. The more you try to think your way out, the more surely you lock yourself in.

A case in point: The Democratic Party recently paid $20 million to study how to talk to men.

If Democrats are alienated from men, it might just be because they see them as objects of study, as opposed to human beings they actually know.

And it's not just men who are becoming strangers to the Democratic Party. It's black, Latino, Asian, and female voters too. Many are members of the party's former, blue collar base.

But how can Democrats get unalienated? How do you escape your own mind?

Not by thinking the same old way, harder. You do it by learning to think in a different way.
