Republicans are Intellectually Inferior
09/22/2018
I find it curious that many Modern Democrats assume that Republicans are intellectually inferior. Growing up, I learned that underestimating an opponent's ability is one of the worst mistakes a person can make, yet liberals do it all the time.
You'd think with all the intellectual prowess they assume they have, they would have figured this out, and why things aren't going their way. The fact that they can't is testimony to what their true intellectual level is.
That's why they were so devastated when Hillary lost. As always, they assumed that Republicans were nothing but a bunch of uneducated bumpkins, and that cost them the election.
Republicans made it clear from the start that they wanted someone strong willed, who would stand up to decades worth of liberal denigration, amongst other things.
If Democrats were as truly as smart as they fancy themselves to be, they would have developed a strategy that would have addressed this issue, and possibly get enough moderate conservatives to side with them, that Trump wouldn’t have won.
With regard to the election though, her first big mistake was when she announced that “I too am a Progressive.” “Progressives” are some of the most narrow-minded, bigoted people I know. Speaking for myself, I dreaded having such a person as President, and I’m sure that more people then ever felt the same also, and were motivated to do their best to prevent her from being elected.
However, I think she sealed her fate when she said that Trump supporters were “deplorable.” Of course “progressives” loved it, but anyone with an objective mind saw it as an expression of overt hatred.
As they say, that remark “empowered” and united Republicans in a way, that Hillary or Democrats couldn’t understand. Because of their arrogance, they couldn’t see what was coming, and were blindsided by Trump’s victory.
But here’s the kicker - after such a defeat, one would think that the Democrat Party and it’s leadership would pull back, examine itself, figure out the mistakes it made, and come back with a more inclusive strategy - a strategy that would create allies rather then enemies. That would be the intelligent thing to do.
However as we can all see, that ain’t happening.
Rather then using their brains, they’re using their emotions, something that’s been going on in that Party for decades now. Instead it’s blame Trump, blame the GOP, blame Republicans, anything to avoid facing the fact that Democrats were at least in part responsible for their own defeat.
it’s an incredible example of psychological defense mechanisms run amok. Denial, projection, transference, intellectualism, rationalism, it’s all there in some shape or form.
I’ve read about incidents of mass hysteria. I don’t know, but maybe that’s what this is, in a level never seen before.
Anyhow, I’ve gone on long enough and I want to thank anyone who made it to the end. gfs
