I couldn't figure out why they were pushing the agenda as hard as they are, considering how obvious it is where that pathway leads.

Then I read again Senator Feinstein's quote from 1995.
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them — Mr. & Mrs. America, turn them all in — I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."

It finally hit me that they were that ignorant of the attitudes of the average citizen of the country they have been elected to serve.

What word covers this situation? Horrifying? Terrifying? I don't see those words as strong enough.
