The Democrats' Mental Problem
By Joan Swirsky

It’s not a recent observation on my part; it goes
back decades, so I’ve had a long time to figure out
the meaning of this peculiar phenomenon.
Specifically, it’s that Conservatives like me seem
to enjoy the lion’s share of being in a good mood,
feeling optimistic, trusting that the many forms of
rugged individualism can solve most problems,
smiling easily and often, and generally seeing both
the present and future as glasses half full.
Not one of these things can be said of leftists, and
nothing brought that truth more vividly alive than
watching the Democrat and Republican conventions in
August.
DEMOCRAT DOOM….
On the one hand was the virtual presentation of a
pitifully diminished candidate, propped up by a long
line of speakers who had only bitter, nasty,
negative and of course pessimistic things to say
about our country. Did I forget racist? Here,
writer Thomas Gallatin discusses Michelle Obama’s
unfortunate presentation and the irony of a “party
that loves to claim for itself the mantle of
‘diversity’ and ‘anti-racism’ [being] the same party
that promotes racist identity politics.”
Not a single smile in four days––only relentless
negativity. And not one word––from candidate Biden,
VP candidate Kalamity Harris, the speakers, or their
leftwing media whores––about the nearly three-month,
non-stop rampaging destruction by the communist
group Black Lives Matter and the anarchists of
Antifa in committing daily and nightly acts of:
-
Arson,
-
Tearing down both black and white businesses,
-
Destroying historical statuary
-
Widespread grand theft,
-
Violent assaults,
-
Murder.
And, of course no mention in the entire
Democrat convention that the crimes of these Biden
supporters were taking place, significantly, in dozens of
Democrat-run cities, including Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kenosha,
Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Phoenix,
Portland, Richmond, Seattle, St. Louis, Washington,
D.C., on and on.
Even after the convention, Biden had nothing to say
about the escalating violence until just the other
day when his poll numbers plunged precipitously. It
took him 86 days of silence before he called the
criminal chaos we have all been witnessing day and
night “needless”––something you would tell a
waitress who brought you an extra fork. As NY radio
host Mark Simone tweeted about Biden’s milquetoast
response: “What a profile in courage!”
REPUBLICAN BOOM…
In dramatic contrast, the live Republican
convention––“Honoring the Great American
Story” ––featured a president, VP, and numerous
speakers and guests who conveyed boundless optimism
and celebrated:
-
Just a
few of the president’s mind-bending
accomplishments in less than four years.
-
The genuine diversity and success stories of the
past four years,
-
The heroism of our military and police forces,
-
The winding down of Covid-19,
-
The waking up of the greatest economy (and
employment) in American history,
-
Ambitious plans for a safe and prosperous
future.
Smiles all around.
THE BIDEN NO NO NO FACTOR
Joe Biden has to say no to running on the economy
because he and the community organizer he served
under ran one of the worst economies in modern
times.
Joe Biden has to say no to running on domestic
security because he and the Choom
Gang guy he served under not only
supported open borders but constructed
the “cages” to hold children not yet
processed into the system.
Joe Biden has to say no to running on national
security because he and the Iran-infatuated man he
served under supported and gave billions of dollars
to that terrorist nation.
THE BIDEN YES, YES, YES FACTOR
However, the Mission Statement of Joe Biden––and the
Democratic National Committee––has a great number of
platforms he says yes to. Their goals, states writer
Linda Goudsmit, are Humanitarian
Hoaxes––“deliberate and deceitful tactics
of presenting destructive policies as altruistic.”
-
Joe says YES to Open Borders. This “power grab,”
says Goudsmit, has the “twin benefits of
overwhelming the country with illegals who will
vote for the Democrats who let them in, and
collapsing the economy by overloading the
welfare system––it is the destructive
socialists’ Cloward-Piven
Strategy on steroids.”
-
Joe says YES to educational indoctrination
through the Common Core, ahem, “standards” that
were introduced during the Obama-Biden years.
This “anti-American, anti-Semitic,
anti-Christian, pro-Muslim” agenda, Goudsmit
explains, “rejects American sovereignty,
American exceptionalism, American
Judeo-Christian traditions, and the American
meritocracy,” and will indoctrinate our school
children “to be self-loathing Americans.”
-
Joe says YES to the economy-killing Green
New Deal, the brainchild of freshman
radical Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-NY). According to writer Monica Showalter,
this “vaunted idea was a mess of teenage-looking
brainstorms devoted to creating a teenager’s
vision of Utopia, cooked up from the fervid
imagination of a 29-year-old bartender.” Not
only would its followers continue their fetish
with the hoax of global warming, but they would
impose costly Draconian rules for the rest of us
to abide by.
-
Joe says YES to socialized medicine like
Obamacare, a healthcare delivery system that has
failed in every country on which it has ever
been inflicted.
-
Joe says YES to the current, Obama-created
“Resistance” movement until the thugs and
anarchists he so tepidly chastised the other day
complete their work by invading the suburbs with
their “13%
Racial Housing Solution,” eliminating
both the concept and reality of law and order,
and completing their destruction of the
capitalist system under which America became and
remains the most powerful and generous country
in world history.
-
And Joe definitely says YES to sky-high taxes
and strangulating regulations, which is
immutably encoded in Democrat DNA.
And if a Biden regime should ever come to pass, and
all of the Democrat dreams come true, you can bet
that we will witness four years of the same dour
expressions, chronic complaints, and a complete
absence of smiles.
A DIAGNOSIS FOR THE DSM-5
It is now so obvious that Democrats don’t smile
because they suffer from a low-level of chronic
depression and anxiety. Even in victory, their
smiles appear forced and phony. Even when they’re in
power, they see doom and gloom everywhere, victims
around every corner, the sky always falling, the
glass inevitably half empty.
In short, they don’t feel good….they feel bad. If
you eat something bad, you can vomit it out. But
when you feel bad and want to get rid of the
feeling, you use projection––a
psychological defense mechanism in which people
attribute characteristics they find unacceptable in
themselves to others. That’s why today’s Democrats
project all of their terrible choices and failings
onto President Trump. It’s simply another form of
vomit.
This symptomology has remained so consistent for so
many decades that it’s surprising that this form of
subclinical depression and agitation hasn’t yet
shown up in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-5). This is probably because
so many clinicians are or should be classified
themselves as DDDOPE––Depressed Democrats Denying
Objective Proof Eternally.
Of course leftists rationalize that they care more,
have more empathy and sympathy, etc. Don’t be
fooled. They suffer from an untreated mental
condition that no amount of windmills, high taxes,
open borders, third-term abortions and street
anarchy will ever cure!
