Seems like a racist, sexist and ageist headline to me.

Honestly, you have to admire the total corruptive power of group think.

Folks keep looking for “truth” in the words and statements coming from the progressive MSM, where quite frankly none is expected.

It’s damned aggravating.

Here is how they operate. It’s quite simple and explains everything they say and do. It hangs on their office walls.

Irving Janis was a Psych professor at Yale (ring a bell). He researched groupthink and developed eight groupthink behaviors. I recast them a little below as commandments of the progressive left.

I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking

II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions

III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions

IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose

V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments

VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view

VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members

VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

Fake polling. Pew does a much better job and THEIR polling shows that a yuge 45% of Dem-leaning blacks remain undecided, and those picking a candidate really didn't like Warren and Buttigieg.

Kamela Harris is an example of what the party is force-feeding its voters. She glorified busing, was proud of parents who wouldn't send her to school with her neighbors. I remember busing. Busing is racist and elitist...it assumes that poor children and black children won't learn unless they go to school with rich white kids. Children were torn out of their mothers arms and sent to schools miles away. Riots ensued and many black communities never recovered. It's a shame Biden didn't do a better job tearing her to shreds when she vilified him for not supporting federal busing.

This is just one example. It just might be that typical older blacks are just as concerned as typical older whites are if the country is run by people who want to rewrite all of our history, culture, and traditions, and have no interest in learning the real deal.

I think being the alpha on the stage is worth a few percentage points. That’s the main thing that Donna Brazille tried to get across to Algore in 2000.

Trump could pick up a few points among all voting groups for that reason, because no one is going to out-alpha him.

Yep. They back Biden and Bernie because they promise stuff, and Trump because he delivers!

They need to join us to support “old” Trump. Jobs! Money!

Otherwise, if a Democrat is elected, the markets will collapse. And Democrats would certainly turn us completely back to the “free trade” routine for their political bosses, even though it would cause a general economic collapse. No jobs, no place. No money! :(

The title alone invalidates the premise of identity politics, that people can only be represented by members of their own tribe.
