There isn’t a liberal alive who will believe one word of your perfectly organized description of how liberals affect their environment. C&A gene is one reality but the other one-two punch is blatant stupidity and severe ignorance.
I live in a close suburb of Minneapolis and I’m on NextDoor, where I can see the postings of the residents of some nearby Minneapolis neighborhoods. Since late 2020 my NextDoor feed is increasingly filled with victims lamenting the crimes that were perpetrated against them. Whether complaining about missing catalytic converters or stolen cars or having been carjacked or robbed at gunpoint, the postings are similar: the person complains of the state of our society, then expresses wonderment that such a thing could happen, and finally expresses great frustration.
Then come the comments, which consist (in order of descending popularity) of:
• expressions of sympathy for the victim,
• statements about how to be more careful to avoid criminals and crimes,
• statements rationalizing the behaviors of criminals (and sympathizing with them),
• folks saying, “what is our society coming to?”,
• statements about how residents are getting what they voted for,
• and critics reviling those who say that residents are getting what they voted for.
I know these sorts of people because I’ve lived among them and now I live near them. They’re the ones with Black Lives Matter signs still in their yards, folks who empathize ad nauseam with anyone claiming to champion any “social justice” cause, folks who vote Democrat without even knowing who or what is on the ballot. By and large they know little of elections or candidates, but they do know enough to vote for whoever is endorsed by their favorite party. In other words, they’re people who will never get the connection.
Good article, and much thanks for your efforts. Super writing!
I also believe they are so pro-Lib., these people would bear a beating in order not to step out of the Lib. box; I believe they absolutely do not have a teaspoon of common sense. and most likely, not much research done on those opposed to their way, like President Trump. He steam rolled MAGA into existence during his four years in office, and did not falter or miss an op. to keep moving America forward.
I also surmise they don’t care that our nation has been sorely crippled by their greed and draining desire to have the NWO, WOKE, BLM, few police, and fewer churches, let alone follow our US Constitution. Our bank accounts are now jeopardized, our food supply disappearing daily, threat of war, our electrical grid failing. Vast numbers of illegals swarming through open borders and over crowding Sanctuary Cities. Have you seen the huge list of food recalls from retail business’ and grocery stores? Very disheartening, and let me end with our leadership blowing billions on foreign countries, trying to creat whatever they are attempting?
Food recalls? What is that all about? Is Biden poisoning our food supply? Or, are the Feds recalling food items as ANOTHER way to increase food prices?
Recently I was scanning Youtube and ran across the article a couple of times that listed many food recalls from grocery stores to some restaurants due to contaminated food. I smell Liberal rat! Perhaps people are not checking food before offering it for sale, perhaps the government tampering to raise prices, as you suggested, or the workplace integrity has bottomed out and workers are only working for pay. I don’t ever remembering contaminated food when we were growing up. Wholesalers had great integrity and pride in presenting their goods, because people relied on each other, and depended on their neighbor to keep the balance so everyone survived and prospered. We lived in a time where Capitalism worked. Quality control was strict and companies prided themselves in offering the best of their food, wares, etc., so people would return to their co.
I will check it out more closely and see if I can unravel more info.
That is the truth. I can imagine their coffers are full and their money is secure. If the go t. succeeds in food control, I believe that will open a door for theft, burglary, killing and perhaps trigger a Civil War and a revolt to overtake the US leaders; insurrection!
Very sad to see many Senior Citizens scrapping for loose change to buy food. Many have the task of making the choice between purchasing medication or food. The leadership has broken many piggy banks of fine, true Americans with level heads and broken dreams of retirement, plenty to live on and enjoying their Golden Years, while the fat cats on the hill blow money , i mean big bucks on their frivolous living and care nothing for the people who put them In office.
This may be my favorite article of yours yet, Diane. There is no shortage of examples proving Liberals and Progressives are incapable of, as I like to put it, "connecting the dots". Might I add another deficiency gene that exists among this group - the inability to discern new information, otherwise known as the "facts don't matter" syndrome. My esteemed colleague, Physicist John Droz, authors an insightful substack on these issues titled Critically Thinking about Societal Issues. Here is his latest article: https://criticallythinking.substack.com/p/critically-thinking-about-a-clash?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email.
Jo: Thank you!!!! Some months ago it dawned on me that the Libs that I know can't put together cause and effect. BUT, when I received several emails last week FROM LAWYERS, former colleagues, who were spouting nonsensical Dem BS, it came to me that I should write this article. I will check out Droz's article. Diane
PS: That woman who moved to the coast is a retired West Linn attorney. I had many dealings with her and she was ALWAYS virtue signaling, so often that even Libs would roll their eyes. She moved to Lincoln City. For 15 years we owned a beach house there. A lovely area with nice people. I DO hope, with retired Libs escaping Portland/Seattle and moving to the beach (such as to the Long Beach Peninsula, WA), that Lincoln City doesn't adopt Progressive/Marxist hate policies. BTW, Oregon City is implementing DEI indoctrination. I spent a lot of time in OC, in part because we lived just across the river for 32 years and in part because the Clackamas County Courthouse is there. OC residents are NOT, NOT, NOT racist.
There isn’t a liberal alive who will believe one word of your perfectly organized description of how liberals affect their environment. C&A gene is one reality but the other one-two punch is blatant stupidity and severe ignorance.
And don’t forget the arrogance behind that ignorance. Nothing like a PhD to give you the leverage to screw over your fellow country-bumpkin neighbors.
Liberals have lost the ability to use logic and reason. EVERYTHING they do is driven by emotions....which are devoid of rationality and logic.

You hit the nail on the head, Diane,

Keep up the good writing!
Biden & his Marxist bureaucrats ARE trying to take control of ALL food production, AND limit access. Control the food, control the people.
That is the truth. I can imagine their coffers are full and their money is secure. If the go t. succeeds in food control, I believe that will open a door for theft, burglary, killing and perhaps trigger a Civil War and a revolt to overtake the US leaders; insurrection!
Shoplifting at grocery stores by the elderly is on the rise under Biden's "starve them via inflation" plan.

MAGA! We need President Trump more than ever.
