Nauseating
The problem with intelligent, independent people is that they have little need for leaders, and little inclination to follow the orders of self-appointed leaders. The hive-mind of the Democrat Party hates that.
What they want are people who are dependent, people who feel that everything they are, and everything they own, were given to them because of the struggles of the Group. And if it was given to them, it can be taken away should they ever be disloyal to the Group. They are absolutely frightened of people who can make it without help, and who are aware that they made it by their own efforts. Such people cannot be extorted from, "to give back to their Community"
Remember back in the 60's when blacks talked about wanting opportunities to succeed? Now it seems they want excuses not to.
