Gullibility 101
American Thinker ^ | 1 Jul, 2024 | Deana Chadwell

Posted on 07/01/2024 4:09:56 AM PDT by MtnClimber

We watch Washington D.C. like we’d watch a ship steaming way too fast toward a crowd on the pier. Our nation’s capital is so filled with corruption, ladder-climbing, and plain stupidity that it’s embarrassing to watch. This is America?!?

Yet the Democrats we know personally are not guilty of those sins. Many are smart, hard-working, kind, educated people and yet they voted for the wasted shell in the oval office -- a man who is not only suffering from dementia, but has never been very bright, or very good. A lot of these lovely people appear to be planning to vote for him again. How can that be? How can even a third of our compatriots think Biden is okay? I believe it to be one of the most startling paradoxes of our time. These proud, sophisticated, overeducated folks are, unlike the power brokers of the party, simply naive. They’re hopelessly gullible. How they can possibly be both -- naïve and sophisticated -- is beyond me. For these lefty-leanies, the Brooklyn Bridge is always for sale at half price and someone else will pick up the difference. Let us list the facets of the Democrat fairytale:

1. They assume that other people are just like them -- hardworking, clean, healthy, nice, fun-loving. It just doesn’t occur to them that the man dragging two kids across the border isn’t their father and is only interested in selling them. The fact that most of these illegals are young men of military age doesn’t ring any bells for the average Democrat. Somehow the only reaction to these intruders is to feel sorry for them -- not to be cautious about their motives, or to be concerned about what diseases they may carry or where their education stopped.

Boy do I know some of these. They were taught what to think, not how to think.

A naïve and sophisticated liberal is a moronic idiot with no rational thought to normal people.

I have friends who are liberals and they seem ok.
Nonetheless I’ve come to the conclusion rank and file democrats know they support a thug party, and they like it that way.
They are devoid of ethics.

This is what I always described as the mediocrity of American urbanization.

We need to bring back asylums for the mentally insane and genuinely use them. Psychology as a practice was once dismissed, briefly seen as a good, and then they overplayed their hands and turned society into an experiment. As someone who studied psychology in college, I’d like for us to turn back the hands to about the DSMv4 and actually assign tags related to mental disturbance and disorder where they belong.

Gender dysphoria, for example, was a legitimate and honestly very unfortunate diagnosis prior to 2000. Now, it’s celebrated and even promoted. Deliberate, physical mutilation of one’s body was once seen as a sign of deeper issues. Now, taxpayer dollars fund it. We went too far.

Far too generous...in my opinion.

“Yet the Democrats we know personally are not guilty of those sins. Many are smart, hard-working, kind, educated people and yet they voted for the wasted shell in the oval office — a man who is not only suffering from dementia, but has never been very bright, or very good.“

All of the democrats I know watch MSNBC and the view, or yahoo and google news feeds. They agree with everything the pundits say. They do no research of the opposition and label everything conspiracy theory. They believe that the things they believe in are true: climate change, big government, DEI, BLM, affirmative action, no energy, obviously wars-especially other nations civil wars, no border, huge deficit spending, money for nothing;welfare-guaranteed income, NGO’s, non-profits, and high taxes on anyone or anything that produces to pay for the above.

They aren’t good people, they just seem that way sometimes. As soon as the reality of their fantasy world hits them they become nasty and violent. They call people fascists, liars, racists, -fobes, ignorant, while they live on the government excess spending and deprive the citizens of freedom, liberty, self determination, and even trustworthy voting. To me, they will release contagions and crash the economy impoverishing their countrymen to further those agenda via “elections” (see 1992, 2008, 2020). I fear major election years because I fear the Federal Government now, and the power and money grabbing that have run it for far too long. They clearly claim to love the ‘law’ and Constitutional rights why they happily deny it for conservatives.

No, these people refuse to research anything or learn anything. They are quick to parrot government and DNC propaganda and slow to listen to Americans and taxpayers. That individually defines virtually all of them that aren’t looking for big brother to take from someone else to give to them. They stand for none of the things they claim, and deny others the freedoms they seek. They aren’t progressives, they are regressives who parade as something they are not. The Joe Biden lie, of him being competent and nice, is just the latest in a long string of deceptions that has robbed us of a Republic and instituted government and big corporate control at the expense of the citizens.

Democrats are people consumed by envy and greed. They resent the success of others who have done better than them and want to punish them for their success.

They lust for the wealth successful people have created and accumulated due to their success. They don’t have the courage to rob these people themselves but have no problem making government their surrogate to steal for them.

They consider the innocent unborn collateral damage and have no problem with the mutilation and sexual exploitation of children by their follow travelers as long as they get their promised spoils.

They are sociopaths.

I have zero friends that are liberals. I dumped them all and replaced them with like-thinkers. I also moved as far away as I could from them.

My life has only improved, and from a distance I've seen them slowly descend into a Hell of their own making.

Deanna is wrong! Democrats (if that’s what you want to call them) are evil!

Some (among the least effective of them) are just stupid!

All of them are motivated by evil. It is evident in politics at the lowest level!
