Hello Democrats, I’m Here to Help
American Thinker ^ | November 29, 2016 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 11/29/2016 5:09:21 AM PST by Kaslin

In the last week, as the magnitude of the Trump and Republican victory has started to sink into the group mind of the ruling class, various thoughtful people have stepped in to help our Democratic friends to get back on track.

For instance, Ted Van Dyk in the Wall Street Journal proposed that the Dems should appoint a committee. Yay!

But I have a different approach. I think mental health professionals call it intervention.

Dear Democratic friends: your tribalist identity politics stinks. Politics is division, and a very dangerous thing that we all need to keep in its box. So when you terrify blacks and Hispanics and single women and LGBTs into tribalism with your identity politics you are setting up a monster; you are teaching the white deplorable majority to adopt identity politics too. Instead, you should be teaching the victims to grow out of their identity ghettos and just become hyphenless responsible American citizens.

Dear Democratic friends: your dominatory big government philosophy stinks. First of all, it’s the Science! Big government cannot work because it can’t compute prices, and bureaucrats just don’t have the bandwidth to rule the world, as in the real life test of Obamacare. It leads, in this video (1:30), to Herbert Marcuse waving his hands in the air about the lack of human progress in the modern era, with its “dehumanization” and “brutalization.” So why do you chaps insist on big government, Herbie? Dehumanization and brutalization go with with big government like ham and eggs. Let’s stipulate that the poor need big government help. But what about the basket of responsibles? Shouldn’t the non-poor be stepping out to take on ourselves the responsibility for our health care and pensions and education themselves instead of leaving it up to big government?

Don't help the Democrats.
They won't listen to, understand or appreciate what you're saying anyway.

My approach would be to send the dems to the mental health professionals

You can't have a reasonable discussion with an unreasonable man.

My advice to Democrats is for them to keep doing what they’re doing!

Don’t try to teach a pig to sing; it frustrates you and annoys the pig.

The whole idea of the left was to liberate the working class from the hegemony of the bourgeois ruling class. How come that our modern educated ruling class wants to dominate everything in sight
The conceit that any part of the idea of the left was to liberate anyone from anything is, was, and always will be nothing but a false front.
