That Boy Ain't Right
Something my granddaddy used to say about a local boy applies to the Democrat Party of today.
Democrats have always used radical groups as victims, insurgents and ultimately, as human shields.
I have noted in the past that the Democrat Party is not really a single political party, it is a coalition of interest an issue groups, often groups with wildly disparate and mutually exclusive interests. The miracle of the Democrats is how they alternately use these groups as victims while they placate others, making mutually exclusive promises that can never be satisfied in order to maintain control over the groups.
If you wonder why they put up with the rabid anti-Semitism of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the openly racial hatred of Ayanna Pressley and Cori Bush and the communist pronouncements of Sandy Cortez, this is why.
What the Democrats do amounts to a mass case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Taking the outward manifestations of this syndrome and modifying them only to reflect the political realm instead of the medical, we get someone who:
Has political skills or experience.
Seems devoted to his or her country.
Looks for sympathy and attention.
Tries too hard to become close and friendly with the electorate.
Needs to feel powerful and in control.
Does not see his or her behavior as harmful.
The way they treat their constituent groups bear a strong resemblance to the way purveyors of Munchausen treat their victim and for the same reasons.
The University of Michigan Health Systems indicates that a doctor or nurse may suspect Munchausen when:
A child [a particular group in America] has a repeated or unusual illness, and no reason can be found.
The child [America or a particular group] does not get better, even with treatments that should help. Symptoms only occur when the caregiver [Democrats] is with or has recently been with the child. But symptoms get better or go away when the caregiver [Democrats] is not there or is being closely watched.
The other parent (usually the father) [the GOP] is not involved in the child's treatment, even though the child's condition may be serious.
A caregiver [Democrats] suddenly changes doctors and lies about prior testing and treatment.
Normal test results do not reassure the caregiver [Democrats]. And he or she [the Democrats] may be strangely calm or happy when the child's [a particular group in America] condition is getting worse.
The caregiver [Democrats] is seen (or videotaped or recorded) harming the child or causing symptoms.
Another child [a particular group in America] in the family has had unexplained illness or death.
It is not too difficult to make the bracketed substitutions in the above and see the undeniable similarities.
The apparent ethos of the Democrat Party seems not so much America hating, no matter how strong it appears to be. It seems to me to be more resentment than real hate, some sort of a mass inferiority complex, a self-loathing condition brought about by an overwhelming suspicion their ideology is simply unworkable and wrong for America. Strongly suspecting they are fraudulently insufficient; it is their overpowering desire to be seen as a sympathetic figure and somewhat curiously, it seems they have come to enjoy the satisfaction of deceiving people whom they perceive to be more powerful than themselves.
I am in no way qualified to make a medical diagnosis, but it is not terribly difficult for the layman to see the manipulation, deceit, aggression, and a lack of empathy for others common to psychopathy and sociopathy embedded in the way at least the 75 million people who voted for President Trump are treated. It is not difficult to see the callousness and detachment of the Democrats when anything they propose is questioned or opposed. Former President Obama demonstrated all of those characteristics in his most recent interview, especially when speaking of Critical Race Theory.
“That boy ain’t right in the head,” was something my granddaddy used to say about a local boy who did irrational and outrageous things.
I can see him saying that about the contemporary Democrats – and he would not be wrong.
They ain’t right.
