A poor education system benefits the democRATs too.

“There’s No Such Thing as a “Sane” Democrat”

I would estimate that 99% of the people here that sit out elections because the Republican isn’t ‘pure enough’ to deserve his/her vote would agree to the above...

...and yet those same people here participate in ENABLING those Democrats to achieve power over us.

There are exceptions. But older Democrats of my acquaintance are, by and large, sane people. They put the flag out on holidays and believe in the value of hard work.

Their problem is that they still think their party is the party of Truman and JFK. That hasn’t been true for a long time. They can’t see that their party is now the party of AOC.

The cutoff seems to be around age 60.
Older Ds: Sane, but very misinformed.
Younger Ds: Insane.

--- "There's No Such Thing as a 'Sane' Democrat"

The assertion is more than acceptable.

I had a Leftist woman from this organization "Indivisible" stick her face this close to my phone camera the other day as she screamed at me:

How about moderate? No. That either. Kinda like saying ham-ass isn’t supported by most gazans.

white women will give up everything they believe and do things like signing on to letting girls born as boys play against their daughters in sports or hypocritically support groups like hamas whose socio-political system are among the most misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ that you can find, because they want to preserve the one holy grail of all issues. White women want to make sure they have the right to have baby-ectomies performed on demand.

Yes there is but they convert to the Republican Party like Musk, RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard.

You've described my 90-year-old father perfectly. He still sees the Democrats as the party of the "Little Guy." I do have to say he didn't have to stomach to vote for Kamela and stayed home last November, so maybe he is finally catching on (a big surprise to me -- it was the first presidential election since 1956 when he did not vote)

My nephew’s wife fits this demographic perfectly. White, educated, professional, suburban. She refuses to come to family gatherings anymore because (These are her words) the ‘rest’ of the family all voted for that ‘disgusting, immoral’ man who is destroying democracy and immigrant families, taking away the rights of LGBTQ people and leading the country down the path to totalitarianism. And she just can’t be around people who are so filled with hate (Projecting again as the Left so often does) they would support someone like that.

She actually said that to her SIL, my niece, to her face, in a fit of pique just last week.

I described it in this thread: Encounter with Leftists at The 250 Year Anniversary of April 19, 1775 in Concord at The Old North Bridge (VANITY)

In the article you posted, the author said: "...If you talk to one of them, they will tell you they believe things that aren’t true. Trump is taking away Social Security and Medicaid. They’ve eliminated the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They’ve eliminated the Department of Education. They’re “disappearing” people from the streets and sending them to concentration camps..."

Here is a transcript from this woman who was screaming at me, when asked about why she felt she had to protest at the 250th anniversary of April 19, 1775:

"..."I believe that healthcare is a right. I believe we should take care of our seniors and our disabled people. That cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will lead to unnecessary deaths. I believe that this administration is literally killing us by cutting out our science and we won't have any response for bird flu or whatever the next pandemic is. My family is a family of scientists, and shutting down their experiments now will set back drug development for a decade or more, and that is because this fascist government does not care about the people. They don't care if you live or die. In fact, it is more convenient for them if you die. So, the fascist government is only for the rich oligarchs at the top. Not the people..."

They have a hive mind mentality, and the talking points have gone out through the hive mind.

Many leading Universities have many billions of dollars of endowments.

Nobody is stopping them from doing as much medical research as they want.
