Gerson trashes understanding

Apparently, trying to understand why people believe what they believe is condescending. Just like helping poor people feed their families, giving the middle class a leg up in putting their kids through college is demeaning, or passing an Equal Rights Amendment would be insulting to women. I guess that's compassionate conservatism.
