Glad you posted that and I got pinged even though not specifically to me.
BOLD post. Perhaps MM is waking up in the Great Awakening.
I have long believed that there were several reasons for people to be D/left/lib.
The 2 basic ones are:
1. EVIL
2. stupidity/ignorance
I think that only a small number fall into the EVIL category. The rest are just subcategories of stupidity/ignorance.
There are those who are s/i because they REFUSE to look at facts.
There are those who are s/i because they are too busy to look at facts, working hard and scrambling to make ends meet in a D controlled economy.
There are those who are s/i because they are too lazy to look at facts (so they just absorb what the MSM feeds them).
There are those who are s/i because at some point they decided that Rs were the “mean” party and they were morally superior and they have clung to that belief for emotional reasons. Because it is too painful for them to admit they could be wrong. All that moral superiority would go down the drain if they took an honest look.
And then there are those like MM who need to belong. The D party / DS caters to their need to belong and sucks them in the same way a cult sucks in the emotionally vulnerable.
Guess I respectfully disagree.
1. "There is none righteous, no, not one." Rom 3:10
2. My assumption therefrom is that at best, MOST of the motives of MOST folks are mixed good & evil. I do include as evil:
selfishness
pride
greed
control freakism
denial of God & God's authority, plan, boundaries
calling good, evil and calling evil, good unwarranted, unfitting anger, malace
3. It is not "merely" worship of satan, child sacrifice, murder, torture, that earns the label "evil."
4. All contributing efforts, values, factors toward global satanic Anti-Christ's dictatorship.
I will agree that many are ignorant, oblivious about the MORE evil elements of the above because they've never come across it, been educated of the facts.
Yet, some are willfully ignorant. And there is evil in that perverse willful ignorance.
One of the most perverse elements is mankind's determination to be his own god--to rebel against proper honorable authority. THAT is a very common element among most of the DIMRATS I know.
So, on balance, I guess I must say, that the biggest majority of DIMRATS are DIMRATS out of the casual to rabid perverseness of their hearts.
I can't see the evidence indicating anything else.
