Exactly this, and also I don't think it's true, this patronizing assumption voters only care about "the economy" and appeals to the Constitution mean nothing. As is often the case, they have a picture in DC of voters that's at best overly simplistic and often outright incorrect and insulting.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless
