i wish I were more than a mere AMATEUR psychiatrist...
many FRers have noted (in a wide variety of discussions)...
that certain “groups” in society tend to vote against “their”
best interests.... such as many Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, Latinos, and blacks especially...

I sense a common thread...these are “groups” with strong histories of persecution or exclusion or discrimination...

and certainly you see in the black and Jewish communities a certain significant amount of “self-hatred”...or maybe its akin to “stockholm syndrome”...where people learn to hate themselves and... in the more visible and extreme cases, work for their extinction....such as some Jews and blacks who are active supporters of enemy interests

I wonder if the D party control machine has tapped into this sort of ‘self hate’ or ‘Jewish Suicide Syndrome” — in all of the above “groups”....and possibly some additional groups, too? There may be a common (and quite powerful) psychiatric phenomenon going on... one that the D party bosses have, yes, nurtured so that they are now able to quite successfully manipulate large numbers of voting “Groups” to, mostly, vote against their interests (and for D candidates)?

am I even close?
there’s a PhD dissertation in this, if someone can explain it more clearly than I just tried to do... thanks!

Very interesting observation. Thanks for posting.

a lot of truth to that, IMO.

I think another big and related factor is that the D party works like this: I’ll turn a blind eye to your sin, if you turn a blind eye to mine. I believe that Democrats get along with each other better than conservatives because they are willing to ignore huge faults and differences in order to get others to ignore theirs. Example: I’ll ignore your sexual perversions (gay, straight, other) if you ignore my graft and corruption. Conservatives generally point out both as being wrong. This is also why GOPe politicians look so much like Democrats. They are all riding on the same gravy train and as long as their is enough taxpayer money for them to steal, they turn a blind eye to what the other guy is doing. They all are enablers of each other.

I don't know if thats all true what you wrote but it sounds awesome - look forward to seeing what others write.

If its not true its great dime store psychology and I'm stealing it to piss off my the liberals around me as its the type of thing that would bug them.
