This is a very good observation, and I think you're on to something.
You are describing people who have figured out how to use power to evade reality, even if only in appearance.
Since all of liberalism is based on fantasy, those who believe in it must, consequently, spend a lot of time thinking about the problem of "how can I evade reality on this one."
To those of such a mind, the ability to evade reality seems to them a solution to the great problem of their creed, and, therefore, of their lives. Perhaps this is why so many in the media, politics, and the entertainment industry (where perception is reality as someone has remarked) see people such as the Kennedys as heroes.
If the Kennedys can wave their magic wand and make shame, dishonor, and cowardice go away, maybe they can wave that same magic wand and make liberalism into a valid way of solving the problems of the world.

They have all the psychological "brainwashing" and population control techniques already figured out. The Communists used them as a matter of policy. Our present Communists-under-cover just have to be more subtle in their application. Although they are getting much more daring and transparent now, for years they have been laying the ground work.

I am more critical and direct in my description. Communism is based on lies and truth, what you call reality, is the enemy. The fantasy is what is sold to the useful idiots. The movers and shakers know exactly what they are doing.

Again, we must separate the movers and shakers from the useful idiots. The useful idiots may need the fantasy of equality and a human-made and controlled earthly paradise, but the ones behind the scenes simply sell that idea to gain power. It is a screen behind which they advance so as not to awaken the wary. Once they have the power more brutal methods are used to control.

That is probably true, as is. Keep in mind the critical points: Liberals are liars who are selling lies. They are ruthless in pursuit of power because power is necessary once the lies become apparent, as they will. There are no rules or morals in this fight except those the liberals impose on others, in this case the Republicans. Their creed is that lies are OK because the traitors of today will be the heros once they gain control.
If the Kennedys can wave their magic wand and make shame, dishonor, and cowardice go away, maybe they can wave that same magic wand and make liberalism into a valid way of solving the problems of the world.
You will notice that all liberals are portrayed as the smartest people going and their opponents as always presented as dunces who can barely tie their shoes. Liberals laugh at and demean all who question them so as to dismiss their complaints rather than address them. As part of that charade they whitewash all liberal foibles and crimes while exaggerating the slightest perceived failings of their opponents. Therefore, the the despicable Kennedys and Clintons are at worst fallen angels and martyrs of unjust attacks. Those who expose them to the light are the evil ones. This, by inference makes the liberal ideas superior to those of the opposition.
There is quite a bit of similarity between the Democrats and the Islamists. Their goals are identical. Their biggest deceit is that they think they can both win. However, were they to, one would have to destroy the other as neither can tolerate a disbeliever.
