Better to wrestle in the mud with a pig than to deal with a ball of emotional baggage.

Democrats are living proof that comedian Ron White was correct.

There are some things you cannot fix.

You cannot fix STUPID.

I go onto Facebook and even have the pleasure of family gatherings to read and listen to leftist talking points and often I get the idea that these people use the same alphabet and words but speak an entirely different language.

Leftists can be very smart. But, if you start with false assumptions about the nature of reality, very smart people make very bad mistakes.

A major difference between a great number of leftists and conservatives exists in their assumptions about the nature of reality.

One assumption by most leftists is "people are basically good". It is the culture which has taught them to be evil.

Most conservatives believe children are wild animals which must be taught to do the right thing. Culture and tradition and religion are how we teach them to do the right thing.

I don’t bother. No one is changing anyone’s mind.

Not only are leftists wrong, but they are immune to persuasion by facts and reason. They even dispute the math, calling it racist.

If a leftist "feels" you must be wrong, you are wrong. No amount of facts, no documents, no empirical evidence will ever convince them you are wrong and they are right, because they feel it must be so.

The rich are not like the rest of us.

Except for those who actually earned the wealth, the rich are separated from reality in direct proportion to the amount of their wealth.

Anyone who has spent time around trust fund babies is well aware of this.

As always, there are exceptions to the rule.

I hardly call it “arguing”. Leftists just throw insults, and call you “Racist” or “Fascist”.

There are two kinds of leftists: the ignorant and the ideologues.

The former you can argue with and stand a decent chance of having a reasoned discussion.

The latter, don’t bother. He or she is Deep State.

leftist thinking is explained by their innate sense of superiority over the rest of us. they have led their entire lives thinking that they’re better than everybody else.

if everybody has a certain opinion0 such as pro israel, they MUST take the other path because to agree with everybody else they would admit to being no better than they, which id devastating. therefore they form certain opinions not based upon right/wrong, good/bad, but upon what everybody else thinks, then they take the other side.

look at drag story hours for children, males in female sports, defund the police, and the position is clear. they CAN’T think like you because they must be better.

Leftists (especially women) think with their feelings. Its always ALL about the feels to them. It always has been.

They are completely immune to all facts, logic and reason.

The other thing is how people diverge when they reach Freshman in College age. Normals and rationals prepare for serious work; either in a trade, or in some STEM subject.

The rest fall into the sewer of political science (sic), sociology, etc. History does NOT fall in that group because any fair read of history hits you over the head and forces you into the conservative camp.

See Kipling, "The Gods of the Copybook Headings".

After college, never the twain shall meet. You will never get a sociology major to think or do the right thing. Their minds are ruined.

Whereas a math or chemistry major wrestled with reality for four years and learned the hard way that reality is pretty much indisputable.

Sociology and Poly Sci majors run from science like Kryptonite and loathe STEM people and anyone who employs their bag of tricks: Reason, logic, fairly employed statistics, etc.

Sociology majors and other such silly people need to have second or third-class status in America. They definitely should be forbidden to vote. Absolutely they should not be allowed to hold any position of authority.

I think Sowell’s A Conflict of Visions explains the difference in mental orientation as well as anything out there for westerners.

Clint Eastwood is reported to have said something along the lines of “if you could reason with a Democrat, there wouldn’t be any democrats”

Try8ng to reason with a Democrat is like walking into an insane asylum, finding the worst of the worst in there, and trying to reason with them

You can’t! They live in an alternate world of their own despicable making (democrats i mean, not the insane)- They are just blind to the truth, and they embrace evil, and expect everyone to follow suit
