power play, try to push for something, then are absolutely gobsmacked when they encounter actual resistance to their ideas, then even more stunned when the vast majority of the normies don't rise up and join the revolution.
They are completely unable to model the opposition. They are also increasingly incapable of not telling on themselves. They're so sure everyone agrees with them that they have no qualms telling you how everyone who disagrees with them is stupid, venial, and undeserving of human rights.
The root cause of this is the simple fact that SJWs and Liberals in general are literally incapable of forming a theory of mind for centrists (normal people) and especially 'conservatives'. That is to say, that can't see the situation from another viewpoint even as a purely intellectual exercise. Worse than that, they can't even
conceptualize having any viewpoint that isn't their own.
This has been demonstrated through some interesting studies where people were sorted into Liberal, Moderates and Conservative groups. They were given a moral question survey, and asked to complete it three times; once honestly as themselves, then again as if they belonged to the other groups. Moderates and Conservatives were pretty accurate at predicting how the others would answer, but the Liberals were completely off base for both.
As a group they cannot conceive of a "theory of mind" for conservative people. They are unable to even fathom that people can think in ways they do not. Hence their inability to consider that anyone thinks differently or has other moral codes. Not just American conservatives, either, this also accounts for why they are so incredulous about, for example, 'migrants' not respecting the law and raping women and robbing and such. The Radicals simply can't imagine that a Somali-raised brain holds a different worldview.
We asked more than two thousand American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Qyestionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right)’ Who was best able to pretend to be the other?
The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as “very liberal.” The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives. When faced with questions such as “One of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal” or ”Justice is the most important requirement for a society,” liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree. If you have a moral matrix built primarily on intuitions about care and fairness (as equality), and you listen to the Reagan [i.e., conservative] narrative, what else could you think? Reagan seems completely unconcerned about the welfare of drug addicts, poor people, and gay people. He’s more interested in fighting wars and telling people how to run their sex lives.
If you don’t see that Reagan is pursuing positive values of Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity, you almost have to conclude that Republicans see no positive value in Care and Fairness. You might even go as far as Michael Feingold, a theater critic for the liberal newspaper the Village Voice, when he wrote:
Republicans don’t believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don’t give a hoot about human beings, either can’t or won’t. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm.
One of the many ironies in this quotation is that it shows the inability of a theater critic-who skillfully enters fantastical imaginary worlds for a living-to imagine that Republicans act within a moral matrix that differs from his own. Morality binds and blinds.
Or, as the old saying goes; "Conservatives think Liberals are stupid, Liberals think Conservatives are evil."
Here's the thing, we won't know who it will be until it really begins to happen. It'll be someone outside the normal political sphere by necessity, someone who can claim that as an outsider they can right the boat so long as you surrender your freedom to him. It will happen quickly, suddenly, a handful of years at most. All it takes is for the general populace to desire an end to the chaos more than they desire their personal freedom.
Or simply for bread not to cost 5 bucks a loaf.
Well, that would be the historical precedent, first you had this.....
[Boys play with a kite made of Reichmarks]
[A loaf of bread costs 460 billion Reichmarks]
[Advertisement for a lesbian cabaret]
[A poster detailing the works of a 'sex researcher' on the youth]

Then you had this:
["Freedom and Bread! Vote National Socialist!"]
["Our last Hope: Hitler"]
["End the corruption! Vote National Socialist!"]
["We take the destiny of the nation in hand! Hitler for President!"]
