It is one of the worst aspects of leftism… Those who promote it are almost always never forced to live with the ramifications and consequences of leftism.
They often live in bubbles, protected bubbles, insulated inside that bubble from other opinions.
There is some thing about leftism That I find in particular is highly disturbing and perplexing.
I have struggled to understand leftists. It isn’t stupidity in many cases. It’s something else. I have vacillated between classifying it as a mental disorder, a weird manifestation of secular, religious fervor, or simply people who are so immature they never grow up.
But Thomas Sowell said (I have to paraphrase this) that the policies of leftism are abundant only because the people who promote them never have to experience them firsthand.
I believe that, but I also believe in PT Barnum observation that a sucker is born every minute.
And I also believe Thomas Sowell is correct In his observation of why government is so broken in this country today:
“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.
But Thomas Sowell said (I have to paraphrase this) that the policies of leftism are abundant only because the people who promote them never have to experience them firsthand.
The response also is not a magic bullet. One thing one time won’t do it for most things. Don’t put down anyone doing a small thing for our cause.
The reference here is to justice. Swift justice and experiencing the results. I only touched the hot stove once as a child. But then I was also grabbed away from the stove, my wound soothed and taught what happened.
But may be the most important thing is us:
Why do we fight?
If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask why you fight, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?
Trump can answer that question. George Washington could. Can we?
A sucker is born every minute is false.
There are actually hundreds of suckers born every minute.
