The Government Is Not Your Daddy
American Thinker ^ | 17 Mar, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 03/17/2024 5:20:49 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Part of President Trump’s appeal comes from his refusal to treat adults as if they were still children.

It’s no secret that many Democrat voters have “daddy” issues. They grew up in homes without strong, loving fathers and desperately seek from government what they never found in their youths: a protective authority figure and lifelong role model.

When Democrats with “daddy” issues find their way into power, they force their own psychological deficiencies upon the broader populace. Why? Because they try to play “father” to their constituents but have no idea how a good father is supposed to behave. They scream and shout because they confuse insults and tantrums with masculinity. They reimagine the ideal male leader as someone who would enjoy wearing make-up and behaving like a teenage girl. They demand that male “allies” relinquish any say over the healthy delivery of their unborn children. Instead of taking personal responsibility for missteps in life, they blame their problems on the nebulous “patriarchy” — or rather, the failed fathers of the past!

After punishing all the good men as stand-ins for all the weak men who never properly parented them, Democrats are left with the wimpiest, least wise leftovers of the sorry lot. Then some angry, man-hating leftist with zero self-awareness uploads a video onto social media demanding to know where all the good men have gone. Well, you chased them away, you trans-obsessed, insult-spewing, sniveling punk!

Greg Gutfeld made this point on a recent episode of The Five when discussing the exodus of black and Hispanic voters from the Democrat party: “They’ve alienated men in order to please miserable activists, and men are like, ‘Hey, we know when we are not wanted. We will see ourselves out. We know what a woman is, right?

Lefties are self-haters.......the turmoil inside them must be unbearable.

Every leftist atrocity centers on making them “feel good about themselves.”

When Women go the vote, they immediately started voting in Nanny government. They first thing they did is outlaw alcohol. Next came the social net of protective services. Now, they won’t let you drink too much soda.

One of the most important things President Trump has done for our country is to stop pretending that things are fine when they clearly are not. Pretending is for young children. Facing hard truths head-on is for adults. Childish Americans must grow up because the government can never be their “daddy.”

Altruism is the problem. Leftists believe you must sacrifice for
your fellow man and if you don’t you must be forced to do so. They place this moral principle above all proof that it has awful results.

I believe so, given that daddy was probably a sperm donor in their case.

The 19th amendment was a mistake and it never should have been added to the constitution.

I'm team XX myself, but there are times I think only Y-chroms should vote.

Women tend to want the government to "care."

And not to get into those inevitable conflicts with the uncaring. This was obvious at least since Jeannette Rankin cast the only vote against war in 1941. "As a woman I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else."

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. The author skirts the issue.

Nature, or God, is wiser than us and it turns out that traits of Maleness or Femaleness are not tied directly to our chromosomes. There will always be a minority of men more feminine than a minority of women and the reverse is true, too. This does not mean that in general they are not different or that humanity does not need both.

Any society that pits Men against Women will not last long. Our failure as a society was to not find a relationship that was not adversarial.

Serious answer: That is the ultimate daddy problem.

In general it works both ways with Democrats. If a neurosis drive people toward the Democratic Party, the Party institutionally encourages that neurosis.

Hence all the push for "trans kids". Castration is an indoctrination one can't outgrow.

No peaceful coexistence.

The government paid for Daddy not to be present until “Daddy” decided he liked it that way.

Women in this demographic lowered their standards, ended up raising children alone, and realized they were safest staying attached to the government teat through life.

The Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) was a women-only political movement and leading militant organisation campaigning for women’s suffrage in the United Kingdom founded in 1903. Known from 1906 as the suffragettes, its membership and policies were tightly controlled by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia. Sylvia was eventually expelled.

The WSPU membership became known for civil disobedience and direct action. Emmeline Pankhurst described them as engaging in a “reign of terror”. Group members heckled politicians, held demonstrations and marches, broke the law to force arrests, broke windows in prominent buildings, set fire to or introduced chemicals into postboxes thus injuring several postal workers, and committed a series of arsons that killed at least five people and injured at least 24. When imprisoned, the group’s members engaged in hunger strikes and were subject to force-feeding. Emmeline Pankhurst said the group’s goal was “to make England and every department of English life insecure and unsafe”.

On 13 October 1908, Emmeline Pankhurst together with Christabel Pankhurst and Flora Drummond organised a rush on the House of Commons. 60,000 people gathered in Parliament Square and attempts were made by suffragettes to break through the 5000 strong police cordon. Thirty-seven arrests were made, ten people were taken to hospital. On 29 June 1909, WSPU activists Ada Wright and Sarah Carwin were arrested for breaking government windows. They were sentenced to a month in prison. After breaking every window in their cells, in a protest they went on a hunger strike, following the pioneering strike of Marion Wallace Dunlop. They were released after six days.

The WSPU responded by organising a new and broader campaign of direct action. Once this got underway with the wholesale smashing of shop windows, the government ordered arrests of the leadership. Although they had disagreed with strategy, Frederick and Emmeline Pethwick-Lawrence, were sentenced to nine months imprisonment for conspiracy and successfully sued for the cost of the property damage.

Some WSPU militants, however, were prepared to go beyond outrages against property. On 18 July 1912, in Dublin Mary Leigh threw a hatchet that narrowly missed the head of the visiting prime minister H. H. Asquith. On 29 January 1913, several letter bombs were sent to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George, and the prime minister Asquith, but they all exploded in post offices, post boxes or in mailbags while in transit across the country. Between February and March 1913, railway signal wires were purposely cut on lines across the country endangering train journeys.

On 19 February 1913, as part of a wider suffragette bombing and arson campaign, a bomb was set off in Pinfold Manor, the country home of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lloyd George, which brought down ceilings and cracked walls. On the evening of the incident Emmeline Pankhurst claimed responsibility, announcing at a public meeting in Cardiff, we have “blown up the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s house”. Pankhurst was willing to be arrested for the incident saying “I have advised, I have incited, I have conspired”; and that if she was arrested for the incident she would prove that the “punishment unjustly imposed upon women who have no voice in making the laws cannot be carried out”. On 3 April Pankhurst was sentenced to three years’ penal servitude for procuring and inciting women to commit “malicious injuries to property”. The Temporary Discharge for Ill Health Bill was rushed through Parliament to ensure that Pankhurst, who had immediately gone on hunger strike, did not die in prison.

In response to the bomb Lloyd George wrote an article in Nash’s Magazine, entitled “Votes for Women and Organised Lunacy” where he argued that the “main obstacle to women getting the vote is militancy”. It had alienated those who would have supported them. The only way for women to get the vote is a new movement “absolutely divorced from stones and bombs and torches”.

On the evening of 9 March 1914 in Glasgow, about 40 militant suffragettes, including members of the Bodyguard team, brawled with several squads of police constables who were attempting to re-arrest Emmeline Pankhurst during a pro-suffrage rally at St. Andrew’s Hall. The following day, suffragette Mary Richardson (known as one of the most militant activists, also called “Slasher” Richardson) walked into the National Gallery in London and attacked Diego Velázquez’s painting, Rokeby Venus with a meat cleaver. Her action stimulated a wave of attacks on artworks that would continue for five months. In June, militants had placed a bomb beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey.

“Women in this demographic lowered their standards, ended up raising children alone, ”

Down home it was worse than that. In its infinite wisdom, the government decided to increase the welfare payment based on the number of children. A girl old enough to breed became the breadwinner of the family. The father could not be present for the welfare money to flow in, so out he went. The grandmother often raised the children, if they were lucky. The unlucky ones end up raised in street gangs and, if they live long enough, become “baby daddies” themselves. I lay this straight at the feet of Lyndon Bains Johnson and the other democrats who just couldn’t give up their slaves. They knew exactly what they were doing, per LBJ’s infamous quote re his intentions.

Two ‘single’ mothers might share a job and child support in Joe’s super strong economy.

Say 10 hours a day at Amazon, three days a week for one and four day a week to the other, alternating so they work an average of 35 hours a week each and have no childcare costs.

Always made sense to me, but you absolutely never see it done.
