What determines individual success in America? Do corporations like Google have too much power? What are the biggest issues facing black Americans today? Is systemic racism one of them? And how does emotional manipulation and victim mentality play into all of this? Today Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek sit down again with Candace Owens, a conservative commentator and founder of the Blexit movement. She is the host of the Candace Owens Show with Prager University. They discuss identity politics, suppression of conservative voices, and the mindset of victimhood among minorities, what Candace sees as a centerpiece of Democratic Party political strategy.

Leftists are quite simply cry bullies.

per Decimus Lunius Iuvenalis (Juvenal, c. year 60 to 138) in his Satires X,

““...if the old Emperor had been surreptitiously
Smothered; that same crowd in a moment would have hailed
Their new Augustus. They shed their sense of responsibility
Long ago, when they lost their votes, and the bribes; the mob That used to grant power, high office, the legions, everything, Curtails its desires, and reveals its anxiety for two things only, (free) Bread and (free) Circuses (circus games, entertainments).
‘I hear that many will perish.’ ‘No doubt,
The furnace is huge.’”

We have an infestation of merchants of despair...

Some of the political fault lines seem absurd.

For example, why do so many blacks vote Democrat? Is it because they believe Republicans are racist? Is it because they believe that only Democrats will deliver government services?

But then how does anyone explain the terrible living conditions among many blacks, in cities run by Democrats for generations? What positive things have Democrats have done for blacks? Why aren’t cities run by Democrats shining cities on a hill, if Democrat policies will make everyone’s lives better?

The answer given is those cities do not have access to the federal government tax money. If only they had the ability to take money from everyone in the country to give to the residents of their city, all problems would be solved! /S

The ability to rationalize is infinite.

Leftists do not compare performance to reality. They compare performance to perfection, which they define.

Thus, no reality can ever meet their demands.
