Humanity is a collection of herds, and all people exist on a spectrum of sheeple-ness. As with any herd, the vast majority are deeply into following; in fact, their entire concept of virtue is defined by how well one follows one's designated leaders.

We should strive to understand how Democrats win and control their followers, and hence control the culture. Democrats understand that most of the population is largely incapable of logical thought and instead makes decisions based almost entirely on emotion. Democrats control their followers' emotions by painting the world in terms of "justice" and "injustice", making it clear that to be a justice-loving hero, you must be on their side.

What is our constructive solution then? I lay it out in an open letter to my Republican legislators: Most people respond to STORIES, not logic. We must stop wasting our time winning them over with logical arguments and instead start telling stories from the real world, verifiable, real stories that display the preposterous idiocy of the Democrats' fantasy-land.

HERE'S A PRACTICAL APPLICATION from someone who gets it: Lila Rose, founder of the pro-life organization "LiveAction". Recently Senate Democrats, genocidal monsters all, voted against requiring medical help for abortion survivors, with lead psychopath Chuck Schumer claiming that abortion survivors don't exist, and that saving the life of an obviously human infant outside of its mother is "anti-women, anti-family, anti-science". Lila understands that the average fool will nod in agreement with Schumer just because he said what he said, and that expecting Schumer's believers to have any conception of reality is utterly pointless. So instead she takes a different approach: she tells STORIES by actually holding INTERVIEWS with abortion survivors. Yes, the average Democrat is far too dim to grasp the implications, but she will at least peel a few of them off. WATCH: https://www.liveaction.org/face-to-face-abortion-survivors-and-providers/

Correct. If they themselves are the only heroes, then obviously anyone who disagrees with them is an anti-hero. That's part of the cleverness of their approach. Oh and by the way, if you challenge them in any way then you're doubly evil, because you're being "divisive".

True. In an addendum to my "Herd" article I discuss the frustrations of dealing with the educated-yet-brainwashed.

Cult formation is the objective. In fact, it's the party foundation: There’s nothing crazy about the Democrats’ agenda: Every Democrat policy is designed to build the party’s voting coalition: https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats

This is accurate and I have had to leave a congregation because of it. I had to not talk and leave. That is not comeradery among people of faith.

Wow. That’s a massive tale of woe. I have a sibling and his wife in my family that probably are still getting boosters, but my other two are hell no, never would. And we mostly live in different states, so the Sunday dinners are over. But I don’t know that I would have your strength had I been treated like that by my wife, also an rn. The horrors your husband saw regarding Covid, were all created by hospitals protocols. Not by the disease that doesn’t exist.
