The Danger of Nothing

I am chagrinned that it has taken me this long to understand the emptiness of Democrat dogma. I started realizing this some years ago when I began building a curriculum for the college logic class I was going to teach; I was searching for debates that were won by left-leaning apologists, thinking I should present examples from both sides of the social/economic/religious worldviews. But I began to suspect that such examples weren’t to be found. I found people -- mostly men -- who could slide around from one logical fallacy to another with slippery skill, but none did any convincing.

Then came the Biden administration, when we watched the Democrat hollowness reverberate around in poor Joe’s empty head. It became even more evident in the addled speech of Ms. Significance-of-Time.

Now here we are in the Trump administration, and the reveal is staggering: the Democrat/Leftist agenda just isn’t there. The evidence can be laid out in seven different points:

1. Every effort to implement leftist policies fails spectacularly. It’s as if these people don’t know they have to do more than attack Trump and promise goodies. Maybe their policies can’t be implemented. Maybe they’re all smoke and mirrors. For instance, the Los Angeles fires demonstrated that no one was watching the baby. The “re-imagining” of crime management and the defunding of the police did nothing but immeasurably damage our cities.  And what about their siding with illegal aliens against American citizens, which has nearly capsized the ship of state? What exactly were they going to do about the national debt, illegal immigration, inflation, failing schools -- what? They haven’t demonstrated even a modicum of competence, so what did they want us to think would happen if they won?

2. Most prominent Democrats are psychologically pathetic and morally dislodged from reality. AOC as president?!? May heaven protect us yet again. I’ve never heard any politician say anything as corrupt and racist as Crockett’s “we done pickin’........
