Very accurate imo.
Understanding why Democrats are Democrats requires distinguishing between two distinct groups: Democrat politicians and Democrat voters. Each operates from different motivations, but together, they form a dynamic that perpetuates the party’s influence. Democrat politicians exploit emotional vulnerabilities to gain power, while many Democrat voters, driven by personal struggles and a lack of grounding, are drawn to the party’s promises of salvation from fabricated threats.
Democrat politicians are primarily motivated by a desire for power, wealth, and status. Like celebrities in Hollywood, with whom they also share a symbiotic relationship, they crave membership in an exclusive elite group that elevates them above ordinary citizens.
Their policies; open borders, defunding the police, promoting gender affirming surgeries for minors, imposing high taxes, etc. are broadly unpopular when scrutinized logically.
They know this. Polls, like those from Gallup in 2023, show that only 27% of Americans support open immigration policies, and 70% oppose defunding law enforcement. So, instead of relying on policy substance, Democratic politicians pivot to emotional manipulation. For example on immigration, "Trump is deporting babies with cancer" is one of their current ones.
Their strategy is to manufacture "victim" groups and invent boogeymen, whether it’s Trump, systemic racism, climate apocalypse, patriarchal oppression, or all of the above and more, to blame for societal woes.
By positioning themselves as saviors who will vanquish these threats, they secure loyalty from emotionally vulnerable voters. For example, they amplify fears about climate change to apocalyptic levels, despite data showing global CO2 emissions are increasingly driven by developing nations, not Western policies.
This tactic isn’t about solving problems; it’s about creating dependency. By fostering division and grievance, they ensure a steady stream of votes from those who feel aggrieved, all while consolidating their own influence and access to elite circles.
Democrat voters, in contrast, are often individuals grappling with personal and existential challenges.
Many come from unstable backgrounds; broken homes, absent or abusive parents, broken relationships or environments marked by addiction. These experiences leave them searching for a sense of purpose and belonging.
Without faith in God, family or community, many Democrat voters turn to secular ideologies that mimic religious zeal; climate activism, LGTBQ causes, transgender advocacy, or other progressive causes, to fill this void. The soul yearns for faith and these are the false idols the democrat voters often choose.
These ideologies, framed as moral imperatives by politicians, offer a sense of identity and community. For instance, the fervor around climate change, despite debatable policy outcomes (e.g., U.S. carbon emissions dropped 31% from 2000-2020 while global emissions rose), provides a cause to rally behind.
Similarly, the push for transgender rights, often presented as a life or death struggle, gives supporters a sense of moral superiority.
These voters aren’t inherently irrational; they’re seeking meaning in a world that feels chaotic. Democrat politicians exploit this by offering simplistic narratives. Us vs. them, good vs. evil that resonate emotionally, even if they crumble under scrutiny.
The relationship between Democrat politicians and voters is a symbiotic trap. Politicians craft narratives that prey on voters’ insecurities, promising redemption through political loyalty. Voters, desperate for purpose, embrace these narratives, reinforcing the politicians’ power. This cycle explains why Democrats remain Democrats: politicians thrive on manufactured crises, and voters cling to the hope of resolution.
To break this cycle, voters must rediscover grounding through faith in God, family, or critical thinking and reject emotional manipulation.
