Dumb and Mean Democrats Lack American Consciousness

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is disturbingly dumb, and the likes of Schumer, Schiff, and Sanders are mean-spirited. Indeed, Dems led by the progressive instigators are devoid of American consciousness, making them the dumbest and meanest interlopers in the public square.

They are dumb because, in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, they are unable to "hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time while retaining the ability to function." To wit: They cannot consolidate the notions that President Trump, despite his occasional abruptness and forthright demeanor, may still promote policies that make America great.

It may be emotionally comforting, but it is foolhardy to obsess over Trump's unpolished style while dismissing his passion to MAGA for all of us. Mentally muddled, the dumb Dems can only stutter and stammer when confronted by figures reflecting a robust economy. Even though some Dems once espoused Trumpian objectives (building a barrier to protect us from hordes of illegal aliens or dallying with trade protectionism), they now prevaricate under pressure from mindless mobs who can barely harbor a single idea while functioning, let alone two.

They are mean because they lack the traits that emerge from a higher state of consciousness, such as self-awareness, empathy, dignity, and compassion. According to Integrated Information Theory, the greater the complexity and degree of integrated information a system maintains, the greater its consciousness. But Dems' information is more like misinformation; far from integrated, each so-called "bombshell" about Trump's supposed offenses invariably disintegrates. Rather than discern style from substance and tolerate a bit of ambiguity, they adopt simplistic absolutism: Trump is evil; his supporters need an intervention.

“Trump’s unpolished style”...I’ll take substance over style ANY day

[PLOM...NOT!]

..despite his occasional abruptness and forthright demeanor

Actions speak louder than words! This President gets it done!

I don't think so. In fact it is a requirement to be a good liberal/communist to be able to do just that. ie: Human rights and abortion,profess the Constitution and deny free speech to your opponents etc., etc. Didn't Ayn Rand mention that also in 1984? 2 + 2= 5!

The ignorant or evil people who elected Obama haven’t gone anywhere.

F. Scott oughtta know. He had his own AOC, crazy Zelda.

Think what the author is saying is that Progs view abortion as just a mothers decision. They cannot contemplate the baby as viable, so it's not a human. Rights don't apply. Now, if they were smarter, they could comprehend that two individuals are affected by one decision. And thus come to a proper position where the rights of both get protected.

What? Ayn Rand didn’t mention shit in 1984. George Orwell said a lot though.
