Brief Political Phenomenology of the Democrat Electorate

David French and the Conservative Case for Communism:

I don't blame Democrat politicians as much as I blame Democrat voters. I've been listening to the Democrat electorate carefully in California for decades (they don't listen back, typically, which you should keep in mind as you read the rest of this). What I am reporting to you is not my opinion without careful observation for years. My reporting here is after , is simply, careful observation for decades. It may sound the same as a bumper sticker, but it's political phenomenology of California. I'm just noticing, and reporting exactly what I see. It’s postjudice,¹ not prejudice. The Democrat electorate will readily admit that maybe you should move to another state to raise kids because California is hostile, unsafe. They'll readily admit the increase in problems correlated with Democrat control. They'll readily admit the increase in problems on campus correlated with Democrat control. But they don't learn any lessons from these discussions. It's as if they don't want to , or more scary, perhaps, don't even have the capacity, to think critically about their own positions with evidence that would be classified fairly as "common sense." So listening to them (which I am very good at) can maybe possibly get you somewhere, eventually, when you come out of the closet as a Republican, but they have so much irrational hatred in their hearts, it distorts their ability to think critically about their own position, their own biases.

I keep track of their complaints, the crime, the homelessness, the hostility to business, the taxes, the trash, the wrecklessness and poor mental health, the disaster of the campuses, anywhere from grade inflation to costs, the cost of living, the irrational housing market, which is obviously linked with homelessness, the riots--Democrat riots--which btw the way meet the Black's Law Dictionary definition of "insurrection" , the low attention spans of voters, on an on, and I ask a simple question: if that was correlated with increasing Republican control, would that bother you, what conclusion would you naturally draw from that, if any ? And they immediately see the point: they of course would blame Republicans for everything I just mentioned. You know how I know ? They blame Republicans already for things that are not correlated with Republican control at all, so of course they would jump there. That's a sign of the irrational hatred in the Democrat heart, the corruption of the Democrat mind. It's like when the KKK, also a Democrat institution in history, it's like when they blame so-called "blacks" for things blacks didn't cause, they do that already. But what if the bad things really were correlated with blacks, well, they'd have the same conclusion, the one they have already when the bad things are correlated with so-called "white" control. The hatred is there and blames the same thing no matter who is in control. That's the sign of irrational hatred. That's what you're dealing with in the mind of the Democrat electorate.

Now, David French has made a conservative case for Communism. And he wrote this in the otherwise Republican-controlled paper, the New York Times (biased toward Republicans). It took a lot of courage to write that.

He has changed my mind. I am a Communist now.

Just kidding on the last two paragraphs. But not for the rest.
