To be a Liberal in America requires magical thinking. The threads of common sense must be disconnected. Liberals have a magical ability to hold two opposing thoughts inside their head and reconcile them absent concern. To be a Liberal in America is to have a mind that thinks, but not too deep. You really do not have to go too much past evil and good in opposition to make a hard and fast decision as a Liberal.
Liberals have been trained over years in America to reflexively determine evil and good instantaneously. The very word “Republican” is inextricably tied to “evil” inside their brains, it is a Liberal’s default thought the very millisecond they hear the word.
And somewhere inside that brain the synapses fire, a small, very tiny electrical pathway lights, and a picture of that pig-faced, aging, and awful Mitch McConnell is shown to them on their subconscious brain screen.
And they reflexively recoil in horror.
And frankly, thought I am a lifelong conservative, who can blame them once they see that face. He is the poster child for everything wrong with Republicans in America. I can’t say I blame Democrats for their response to seeing McConnell, but I do blame them for having such a reflexive programmed action.
Liberals have been programmed as if in the movie “The Parallax View”, they have a completely preconceived set of answers when shown any issue of the day. Think of the words running through this demonstration of “Republicans”, then “evil”, and “Democrats”, then the word “Caring”.
Liberalism is all about feelings, and caring about people feels great. Of course caring itself does nothing tangible for anyone. The comedian Anthony Jeselnik does an excellent joke about offering the bereaved your “thoughts and prayers”. You feel better offering words of comfort, but in reality they do absolutely nothing for the mourning.
Liberals, and all Democrats are Liberals, the Venn diagram is a single circle, although it could be shaded from Ultra-Left Wing to moderate, though moderate Liberal is an oxymoron. They go along with even the most radical Left Wing ideas, it just comforts them to think themselves more reasonable than their insane compatriots.
Democrats are about feelings, and caring, they never consider results or consequence. Until such time as consequence bites them very hard in their own ass.
Here is one example of a Liberal that is just now facing the consequences of the Democrats ridiculous policies, and who has now found that the policies have actual consequence
Stephen A. as he is known comes from the world of sports. He has a very popular ESPN show. However, as he was peacock strutting and speaking in a yell as the loudest, highest paid mouth on ESPN, thinking he was the cock-of-the-walk, somehow Shannon Sharpe who also appears as a second fiddle on his show on ESPN, managed to create a podcast of his own, called “Club Shay Shay”, and Sharpe was able to interview Katt Williams and break the internet. He even exceeded Joe Rogan in views for a single podcast. And Shannon Sharpe jumped from second fiddle on Stephen A.’s show to one of the biggest dogs in media due to this podcast. He jumped past Stephen A. in popularity, and even worse as far as Stephen A. is concerned, he jumped past Stephen A. in “bank”.
Well, well, well, we can’t have that. Stephen A. thought he was king. But that seven million a year for appearing on ESPN pales in comparison to the “bank” Joe Rogan is making over at Spotify, or what Unc Shannon Sharpe is starting to make on his podcast. Stephen A. looked down on Sharpe as a “sidekick”, can’t have the “sidekick” out there with a podcast heading into Joe Rogan cash territory. Why that would make Stephen A. look like a chump taking small change.
So Stephen A. has created his own podcast, and he reaches beyond sports to discuss politics. And Stephen A., who, make no mistake sees everything in Black and White, and I mean everything, he noticed that the Mayor of NY, his current home town, is giving away 53 million in gift cards to illegals. In a time when Black and Brown people are struggling with inflation and high costs.
Well, well, well. His “brother” Mayor Adams of New York is taking care of illegals better than their “own”. Time to sit up and take notice.
Where was Stephen A. when Texas was over-run? Nowhere.
Where was Stephen A. when a town like Brownsville were absorbing all these migrants?
Where was he when towns all along the border were suffering from having to care for this onslaught of humanity?
Nowhere.
Off in NY calling Texans “racist” for complaining that Brown people were flooding their towns. Just like every good big city Liberal who went unaffected by their policies.
But now the problem has come to his door step. And he is upset. He is worried. This problem is a real problem, and this might get Trump re-elected. Oh Lordy, Lordy, we’ve been pushed to the back of the bus again. If people realize that, they might vote Trump!
When you are the Party of fractional America as the Democrats are, dividing everyone into different camps by race, ethnicity, class, or other factors, there comes a time when feeding one mouth is seen at the expense of feeding other mouths inside the “big tent”
Immigration has the base upset. They know who is letting all these illegals in, they know it isn’t those awful Republicans, because the Democratic Party told them so every day Trump was President. Trump closed borders “bad”, Democrats caring “open borders “good”. Right up until as with Stephen A., it’s staring to bite the constituency in the ass. Right where they live.
Not a word when Brownsville was drowning in migrants. South Chicago gets a taste, Oh My!
And here is the “pick of the week” for Liberal hypocrisy, it comes courtesy of “The Views” Sunny Hostin, a Black woman who also sees everything through the prism of race, and is one of television’s leading proponents of the concept of “White Supremacy”, she finds out that in her past, her people were slave holders
And what was her response?
This millionaire still deserves reparations, even though her own people owned slaves, and traded in slavery, because, well, reparations are due because of slavery, slavery her own family perpetuated and from which they profited.
Two opposing thoughts living side-by-side inside the Liberal mind on display for all to see clearly.
This is the ultimate “holding two opposing thoughts inside your head”. My own family benefitted from slavery on the wrong side, but I still deserve reparations because of the history of suffering of people of color who were enslaved, by “us”, our family.
The mainstream media has a big problem right now.
Magical thinking only goes so far.
You can appeal to people’s “feelings” right up until you attempt to convince them that what they see with their own eyes, and what they experience in their own community outside of their own front door, is a lie.
They care about “the homeless” in the abstract when it is a problem in California. When they have to step over a homeless person outside the front door, Oh My!
They care about “illegals” when they are “in cages” down in Texas due to those awful Republicans. But when the cages are set free, and the“chickens come home to roost”, right in their own community, and handed fifty three million in gift cards. Oh My!
They care about Ukraine right up until they can’t pay the electric bill and realize that those billions spent abroad could have been better spent at home. To help lower energy bills.
They can even “care” about slavery and want reparations for people of color. And get this, even after they find out the “White Supremacists” who held slaves and traded in slaves, are themselves, they can still justify reparations and their own suffering because they are still people of color. Millionaires, slave holders, who deserve reparations.
Magical Liberal thinking.
I’ll leave you with a video you just have to see to believe, they went on campus to interview students about how they feel about capitalism verses socialism. Of course being good little indoctrinated Liberals they embrace socialism right up until it is their time to “share”. They believe in “from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs”, right up until it hurts them personally
Opposing views held inside the head until challenged. That is a Liberal.
Now that is some magical thinking.
