The Left Achieves Peak Political Insanity

Today’s Left is at peak political insanity. Who could imagine massive rallies supporting government bureaucratic bloat and wasteful spending? Or that young women, undoubtedly feminists, protesting on behalf of Muslim terrorists? Why do public officials defend boys participating in girls’ sports? Why would climate activists vandalize Tesla despite the company’s stellar environmental record? Meanwhile, college professors toss around terms like “Nazi” and “fascist” in ways divorced from their actual meaning. Why is a free sex-change operation for incarcerated illegal migrants a riveting presidential campaign issue?

Such madness defies rational explanation. America is not in an existential crisis. For nearly everyone, the day-to-day reality is nearly identical to the far less hysterical Biden era.

These events exemplify the “March of Dimes” phenomenon. The March of Dimes was a charity that beginning in the 1930s, raised money to eliminate polio. Thanks to its funding, vaccines were developed, and by the 1970s the disease was virtually eliminated in the United States. Mission accomplished, but what would happen to these employees and their organization? After some false starts, the charity refocused on eliminating birth defects, and it was back in business. The March of Dimes phenomenon is what happens post-success -- finding a new mission.

The current Democratic Party suffers from the March of Dimes phenomenon. The New Deal began by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s has almost entirely been enacted and is sacrosanct. We have social security, unemployment insurance, protection of labor unions, a degree of national health insurance, multiple consumer protection laws, bank regulations and countless other “New Deal” policies. Similarly, the Democrat president Lyndon Johnson’s massive “Great Society” directed at reducing poverty is also an inviolable part of the status quo. Nobody questions such programs as Head Start, Washington’s aid for local schools, and all the rest.

I don’t know about “peak” insanity. Just as their dishonesty, immorality, and hypocrisy have no bottom, their insanity has no peak.

“Their peak would be using nuclear weapons on modern civilization to usher whatever bizarre world they envision.”

Nothing will change, nothing, until there are perp walks like what was done to Flynn.

Stupid should hurt. The ones hired by the DNC to “protest” are stupid.
