While the article applies to race it also applies to the politics of many Dems who see economic oppression everywhere while on the public dole. They refuse to see economic reality or discuss public policy in a rational way. I’ve had this discussion with people who are all white but refuse to believe what is clear and in front of their face. And yes, they voted for Obama.
Remember that a “civilized” advanced nation such as Germany fell for the evil of Hitler. These were 100% white people who we now see as delusional to believe his crazy ideas. I continue to marvel at the archival footage showing what they did to their fellow citizens and peoples that they conquered. To this day I don’t understand it.
I’m white. I was never a racist because I thought it was just plain dumb and made no sense. But this isn’t really about race. It’s about irrationality and that afflicts all of mankind. I don’t think we will ever be rid of it. The best we can hope for in the short run is to be rid of the would be tyrant in the White House. That’s the clear and present danger that I see.
Abstract thought. I think the majority of Dems lack the ability to think abstractly. There are exceptions on the left like George Soros who uses his intellect for evil and to manipulate the masses. The Democrat leaders tell their voters how smart they are. They stroke their egos and the voters become confused.
They don’t understand the leaders economics, but like the subjects who refused to see the emperor had no clothes, they puff up their chins and claim to understand.
