There are some people who should be grateful that breathing is a reflex, because had it required any mental abilities whatsoever, they surely would have suffocated on the streets, having forgotten to do it. These people should be pitied, but Democrats hold them up as aspirational figures. I get why they do it. Democrats have very little to actually be proud of; what is disturbing, however, is that there are so many people even more dumb who fall for it.
That there are so many people in this country who are so wildly ignorant enough to follow the political left over the cliff is not a shock; the public schools in Democrat-controlled cities have essentially been “ignorant factories” for decades. Manufacturing a mis-educated voting base is the surest way to ensure uninterrupted power, and it sure beats the hell out of having to try to argue in favor of the garbage Democrats advocate for.
But the 2024 election showed that the firewall of ignorance has some pretty big holes in it. Donald Trump won a higher percentage of the black and Hispanic vote than Democrats could overcome with the one demographic they grew in: the AWFULs – Affluent, White, Female, Urban, Liberals.
AWFULs aren’t ignorant, per se – though they are – they operate out of a combination of arrogance and ignorance. They are like teenagers, convinced they know everything and aren’t interested in learning that they do not. While most people grow out of that phase, AWFULs marinate in it and never move on. It’s easier, I suppose, to feel like the whole world depends on you than it is to admit to yourself that your family and friends don’t really like you that much. Emotional holes can only be glossed over, never filled. And AWFULs have some gaping holes.
But beyond that, how did we end up with so many people incapable of independent thought? What happened in the lives of these marchers who repeat, unquestioningly, anything someone with a bullhorn demands they repeat back to them?
Most of the chants the leftists engage in are the same garbage they’ve been chanting since they were planting bombs and murdering police in the 60s – “Hey, hey, ho, ho, something or other has got to go!” – and the rest are wildly anti-Semitic or anti-American. These people seemingly will repeat anything they’re ordered to, which is horrifying. Nazis were “only following orders,” but that started with following the crowds, cheering and saluting on command.
That’s a great question, “How did democrats get so stupid?” Politicians got bought and their supporters kept supporting them, thinking it was a one time thing. Now they’ve been following so long they have idea how to think for themselves. It compares to generation after generation sucking the welfare hose.
