Everyone in Politics Needs an Enemy

Every human seems to need some cardboard villain to blame for all the sorrows of the world. Zman makes the point that, in the dystopias imagined by George Orwell, it is not just enough to have an enemy, but a possibly unconquerable supernatural force: the very devil himself.

And our liberal friends have Donald Trump, the enemy of the ages.

But then there is the experience of women, and I am inclined to believe that the enemy of woman is the whole world. Thus Greta Thunberg: “You have stolen my dreams.” Who is “you?” Answer: everyone. And the blessed AOC: “Everyone my age is scared to have kids.” Why? Because “you” refuse to solve the climate crisis. Notice how these two beauties share the same world view. They are going to sit there and complain until someone -- some man? -- “does something” to make them feel better.

Of course, our lefty friends, ever since Marx, have lived and died on the existential enemy: capitalists, bourgeois, robber barons, patriarchy, racists, all past, present and future “-phobes,” and now “white supremacists” and “toxic masculinity.” Oh, and Trump.

Some people are born to hate like Hitler as we call them the left,even when they win they still hate in truth it’s called crazy people.

while scrolling thru the headlines I initially read this as:

Everyone in Politics Needs an Enema

Which is true since most of them are full os sh!t.

I was about to post the same thing.

Politicians are like a diaper. They need to be changed often because they are usually full of schiff.

The Religion of HATE. That is the left and the blessed AOC is the visionary of the future destruction of the Earth and Mankind. Nancy Pelosi is the Queen High Priestess of Hate and her pronouncements that Trump is cursed to the end time with impeachment, is the final blow of a dreaded excommunication. It all takes on a comical dimension and would be tragic if not for semi-seriousness of their harsh and crazy rhetoric. Meanwhile the Messiah Obama is relaxing by the seashore which is destined to rise and swamp his 14 million dollar home. Is he concerned with the End of Times revelation? No. The blessed prophecies of AOC, the Joan of Ark of Socialism, means nothing to him for he his life-raft his own Noah’s Ark... it’s called common sense. It supports him over any tidal wave of insanity and lets him dream the dream of his past: where he is Superfly in a 1970s movie with a great cast and costumes.

from "The True Believer" [emphasis added]:

Hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying agents. It pulls and whirls the individual away from his own self, makes him oblivious of his weal and future, frees him of jealousies and self-seeking. He becomes an anonymous particle with a craving to fuse and coalesce with his like into one flaming mass... Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil... Common hatred unites the most heterogeneous elements. To share a common hatred, with an enemy even, is to infect him with a feeling of kinship, and thus sap his powers of resistance... We have it from Hitler... that the genius of a great leader consists in concentrating all hatred on a single foe. [pp 85-87]

Missing the point of what’s happening, as per usual, entirely.

The left hates DJT because DJT is destroying all they’ve worked so hard to accomplish over the decades.

Absolute control of the federal and many state governments through blackmail and extortion.

Massive illegal funding streams, kickbacks, fraud and financial abuse by the dem politicians, federal, state, parish/county and city/township.

Eliminating the age of consent for children and “social norming” of pedophilia and pederasty.

Reducing the US tax payer to serf status.
