Though there seems to be quite a bit of debate regarding the origin and validity, there is an archaic warning which finds its roots in Voltaire’s writing from 1765:
Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
In the context of modern politics, where we’re all suffering under the indescribable derangement of Biden, the Democrats, and their faithful useful idiots, it’s cautionary wisdom worth heeding. Mainstream leftism actually accepts the notions that men can get pregnant, medical intervention to transition youngsters is acceptable, abortion is “healthcare”, and having white skin equates to having racial prejudices, regardless of whether or not a person consciously holds negative sentiments (even though by definition, prejudice requires a preconceived opinion).
Given the aforementioned welcome “truths,” it’s reasonable to make the argument that the Democrats and their leftist cohorts are masterfully manipulating a massive group of Americans (the useful idiots) to believe the absurd — and therefore, if we are to observe Voltaire’s insight, those same useful idiots can be made to commit acts of tremendous cruelty.
Last month, we saw the addition of Demetre Daskalakis to Biden’s staff — the “out and proud gay man” was tapped to be the White House National Monkeypox Response Deputy Coordinator.
Daskalakis’ appointment is the latest in a string of absurd hires that started on January 20, 2021. Leading policy for the American people are: Rachel Levine, a mentally ill and paunchy man who pretends to be a woman is the Assistant Secretary for Health; Sam Brinton, a radical LGBTQ activist, who also has clear mental issues, crossdresses to official functions, and publicly engages in “pup play”; and now, Daskalakis, a flamboyant homosexual who as recently as the spring of 2021, posed for a gay magazine centered around HIV-positive status,

For real?
Odd , I keep seeing the left use that meme for Republicans yet it’s the democrats that:
1. Say the border is secure
2. The economy is great
3. The 2020 election was the most secure …in ALL of our 200 years history
4. Gender is fluid
5. Allowing children to take hormone blockers then mutilate their bodies is a positive mental health approach
6. Biden is a “dark force”, keenly intelligent and powerful
I could go on but this should suffice.
Be sure to check out this rogue’s gallery of the degenerates hired by Biden as posted by CFP-— (Who is the guy in the white dress??)

That is hard on the eyes!
And it is why this man is our leader.
We need a ‘Carnival Stimulus Bill’ so these freaks have something productive to do in their lives instead of infiltrating our .gov.
“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
You never hear:
I believe that child trannies are real, but I have serious doubts that the 2020 election was real. Or,
I believe that child trannies are real, but I am not so sure that the vaccines are safe and effective. Or,
I believe that child trannies are real, but the Hunter Biden laptop is also real.
Once they have people believing the most absurd thing possible (child trannies), they can get people to believe literally anything. Not that many people actually believe that stuff... Yet.
Back in my college days, I did a paper on Voltaire’s “Candide”.
What a great satirist he was.
I wonder what he would say about our society today.
I think he would have a field day doing it.
We have to get rid of all these queers.
You will never see the democrats reopen the mental institutions closed in the 1970s. So many of the Biden admin would be the first inmates.
