Democrats are living proof that comedian Ron White was correct.

There are some things you cannot fix.

You cannot fix STUPID.

Actually, I don’t think this is the right take. Some of the most die-hard leftists I’ve known were very smart, mentally sharp, educated people. They were not stupid. They were arrogant and certain they were always right. They were narrow-minded and didn’t want to legitimately consider contrary viewpoints and evidence. And they were often heavily indoctrinated in left-wing schools and watched and read left-wing media.

The problems weren’t that they were dumb, but that they were indoctrinated, closed-minded, and taught to see themselves as superior and always correct. I’ve certainly seen a lot of Dem voters who were dumb as a box of bricks, but they tended to be voters who barely paid any attention to politics, not the true believers on the left. These people can at least sometimes be reached by simply showing them evidence and arguments they’ve never heard before. The die-hards, on the other hand, often have to face something that shatters their entire worldview before considering other positions.

"You cannot fix STUPID."

But through indictments, trials, convictions, and sentencing you can fix those Demonicrats who give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

You can’t fix stupid. But you can shoot it until it stops moving.

SO many people forgive evil by calling it “stupidity” or “insanity”.

This will not work.

Whether they are, themselves, stupid, is irrelevant. The ideology and beliefs they hold are EVIL.

Stand against it.
