Meritocracy and the Democrats

What is painfully obvious but not often said in so many words, is that today’s Democrat party is caught in a trap of its own making. Back when they got clobbered in the midterm election of 2010, Dan Balz of the Washington Post announced on Public TV that the Democrats no longer had a bench -- up from which new, aspiring talent could rise. Hillary’s loss to a complete political novice in 2016 was a demonstration of this reality. Although being “elected,” the Biden-Harris administration may well be their final act as a national political force.

Rather than inspire and attract individuals who possess both ability and motivation, they rely instead on pigmentation, gender, and sexuality… regardless of their tendencies to barf up word salads and adhere to ridiculous dogmas. Competition is a great thing -- even though those compelled to compete tend to resent it. The result of competition, nonetheless, is progress… a sharpening of the sword.

Today’s Democrats have eschewed competition in favor of (ahem) “intersectionality” -- belonging to multiple victim groups. And, guess what? No progress. Go figure. Gee, do you possibly think that Biden and (ahem) Harris can stop Trump now? And, speaking of dear Kamala, it’s been fairly obvious all along that she was a pathetic dud -- even before she became a senator. How can such a mediocrity rise to such an exalted position? Other than being a woman of color, she is propelled by thermonuclear ambition. Others on the Left have the same compelling drive to acquire and cling to power… hence their tendency to do outrageous things towards this purpose, such as trying to keep Trump off the ballot.

Well, there’s always Governor Hair Gel waiting in the wings. However, he just happened to commit political suicide...

The democRATs in power don’t like competition for that power from the lower ranks. Capability is a threat.

Demonicrat gave up on working toward a meritoracy long ago.

Demonicrats have since become totally committed to their kakistocracy of lies, murder, and treason.

I’m afraid that means that they are still one step ahead of Republicans. They are power mad criminals that are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Given the fact that the majority of Americans don’t seem to care - or can’t figure that out, I’m not sure much will change. Another year (2024) with our open borders and our increasingly worthless dollars and runaway debt we’ll all be quoting Hillary Clinton, “What difference does it make?” The Left will never relinquish power. They would assassinate Trump before letting that happen but that probably won’t be necessary - they’ll just buy off a few more Republican “moderates.”

Those who are unequal are at the bottom of a meritocracy. That is, unless your name is Gay, you are Black and chosen to be corrupted with false equality
