Sean Davis, one of the founders of the Federalist, was on Fox last night talking about how we should go Mutually Assured Destruction on the Democrats, referring to the nuclear weapons policy America deployed to keep the USSR in check.
I disagree.
MAD only works if both parties are rational. This iteration of the Democrat Party is nothing close to rational. Their motives have more in common with a bomb vest wearing maniacal terrorist. Todays Democrats are willing to vaporize themselves into cloud of red mist as long as they kill you.
Listen to what they say and do:
World population needs to be reduced. The planet would be better off if there were no people.
Abortion is a public good, people shouldn't have children because more people damage the environment. They care more about baby seals than the human babies. Under the guise of the Endangered Species Act, a snail or minnow has more rights than a human.
We don't care if our environmental policies put people out of work, increase energy costs and reduce the standard of living, it is better for the family.
Defund the police. Crime is a social construct designed to keep the poor and minorities in prison.
They oppose any attempt to expand wealth because they believe the rich will benefit disproportionally, even though the standard of living increases across the board. Even if some free market economic activity will objectively help the lowest socioeconomic strata, they will refuse to do it because someone in the top economic layer might benefit. They advocate policies that choke progress and wealth creation rather than enhance and expand economic opportunity and mobility.
They stive to prevent wealth creation. At best, they are ambivalent toward economic growth which, in their view, only enhances humanity's ability to further destroy the planet.
They want to force Americans into a "green" economy regardless of the fact the "green economy" can't sustain itself or is any less damaging to the environment in the long run. They want to force the guy who bought a $3,000 2010 gas-powered pickup to support his lawncare business to buy a $100,000 electric pickup he doesn't need or can afford, putting him out of business.
Social policies, speech restrictions, prevention of personal protection, promotion of secular humanism are all put in place to make people conform to the Democrats’ idea of a "better" human. Often, their policies harm the very people they claim to be helping.
Would MAD work, given these perspectives?
I don't think so. They are fine with losing it all as long as they can take you with them. Death isn't a threat to someone who wishes for death.
The attitude and policies of contemporary Democrats closely align with the definition of misanthropy.
Democrat policies only make sense when you realize their objectives are to punish humanity rather than to benefit it.
As I have noted, we are being governed by people who don’t like us very much.
To them, a stalemate of MAD just allows them to keep working, to keep finding ways to harm the true progress that benefits people. They would see that as a victory because it allows them to keep building nukes (it is the same as Obama's Iran "deal" that Biden made worse when he put us back in it).
The only answer is to totally crush their ideology.
The Democratic Party is made up of these people. Just these three groups – environmentalists, animal rights folks and the pro-abortion cabal - are all significant contributors of money, votes and influence to the election of Democrat candidates.
Pretty scary when you start connecting the dots that lead from misanthropy to the contemporary Democrat Party.
Either the Democrats agree with these misanthropic movements that humans are worthless or they are just cynical and serial abusers of the trust of these people in their quest for power, which makes them hypocrites.
Isn’t it interesting how the Democrats are able to thread the needle to stay between the secular humanists and those who hate the human race? They are masters at lying just enough to keep all these disconnected, disparate groups fooled just enough to build a power base.
A choice between hypocrisy and misanthropy isn’t really much of a choice, is it?
Sad but too true.
The Left will always eat its own. It’s already started. Woe to those leftists who aren’t ‘woke enough.’
