I suspect most leftists actually have crushing inferiority complexes. Their ideology is only “mainstream” because they convince enough semi-literate urban dwellers to vote for them (remember how they mock education levels in flyover country, while begging for votes where Spanish & ebonics are spoken?); why do you think they want voting rights restored for felons? They appeal to damaged people, assuring them they no longer have to “try” (I’m no saint, but aspire to be better rather than excuse my shortcomings). They can’t convince “normals” that they have any real answers, and those “normals” demonstrate the higher standards to which people should hold themselves.
Of course you are right which is why they are in favor of massive third world immigration coming to this country. The more illiterate the person the more likely they will vote for “Santa Claus.”
I think they are missing a huge point though. This Cortez woman running for a long held dem congressional seat from NY is just the beginning. Immigrants vote overwhelmingly for people who look like them. White leftists are being run out of the party, just not fast enough.
I also fear that we are being marginalized by the media, academia, the courts and our own government. We have a big choice to make: do we allow ourselves to be second class citizens or do we not?
