OP-ED: Liberals Donât Believe Theyâre Capable Of Doing Anything Wrong
One thing you notice when having a conversation with a committed liberal is youâd have a more productive and honest discussion with a shoe. An old, worn-out shoe. Normally, this phenomenon could be chalked up to ignorance â stupid people are, well, stupid. But many of these people are not stupid, at least not in the traditional sense. Itâs arrogance, a kind of arrogance that can only come from indifference to anything contrary to what they want.
You see this manifest itself in reaction to the reaction to the documents exposing how the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign. You also see it in the glee from leftists whenever they have the opportunity to report bad news about Hydroxychloroquine. And we saw it again Friday when Joe Biden casually dropped a racist comment in a radio interview. None of these people honestly believe they are capable of doing anything wrong because progressives donât believe anything can be wrong when they do it in the name of their agenda.
Lying isnât wrong if itâs done in the cause of righteousness. Theft isnât wrong if itâs done for altruistic purposes. Murder isnât wrong if itâs a bad person killed. Taken to their logical extremes you get the horrors of fascism and communism, but these people refuse to see that. One person, or a few people, even a lot of people, harmed in the name of the âgreater goodâ is not a tragedy. Itâs a statistic.
General Michael Flynnâs rights were trampled, his life destroyed, and he only agreed to plead guilty after financial ruin and the threat/promise of the same being brought upon his son, but so what? He worked for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is bad. Anything done in opposition to âbadâ is inherently good, or so the logic goes.
What do the civil rights of one man matter, or many people working on a campaign matter, when the campaign is for someone they view as the new Hitler?
Of course, using fascistic tactics to combat perceived fascism is the basis of ANTIFA, the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party. The concept behind those tactics are now the norm for the party as a whole.
Barack Obama is exposed as, at a minimum, completely aware of the spying. Obama was informed by the people who knew there was absolutely nothing to the collusion lie, but Obama justifies it because itâs Donald Trump. Donald Trump has to be bad. Trump supports positions opposite Democrats, and Democrats are all good. Anything is justified.
Iâve personally seen people gleefully greet unfavorable studies about Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 as something to be grateful for. Why? Do they want people to die? No. But thatâs the result.
There are more studies and anecdotal stories of Hydroxychloroquine helping than hurting, but those donât make the social media feeds or leave the lips of these people. Many may not even be aware of their ghoulish behavior and hypocrisy, too satisfied in the warmth of what they view as a political victory, but it is gross. Somewhere out there, people whose lives could be improved or saved by Hydroxychloroquine will refuse to take it because of the enthusiasm with which the âdangersâ of the drug are reported. They donât care.
Then thereâs Joe Biden. The senile, presumptive Democratic nominee said Friday, âIf youâve got a problem figuring out whether youâre for me or for Trump, then you ainât black.â Democrats went from feeling entitled to own black people to feeling entitled to own the votes of black people.
When Biden said out loud what Democrats whispered to each other for decades, people were rightly disgusted. But heâs their candidate, so the left scrambled to justify and explain away his words. New York Times âJournalistâ and 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted, âThere is a difference between being politically black and being racially black. I am not defending anyone, but we all know this and should stop pretending that we donât.â She seems like sheâd be a lot of fun at parties, doesnât she?
At the Washington Post, two quick attempts to keep everyone from acknowledging the obvious were made. The first was by Jonathan Capehart, who cartwheeled his way through a piece insisting Bidenâs racism âwas clearly a joke.â He spends a lot of time picking out quotes and giving them new context, making him the only joke in the whole ordeal.
Then the Postâs Paul Waldman took his bite at the apple with, âHow to think about Joe Bidenâs gaffes.â Waldman absolves Joe by declaring he is âsometimes captured by problematic assumptions and ways of speaking that used to be much more acceptable among white people than they are now.â In 1992, Ross Perot was attacked as racist for saying âyou peopleâ to a crowd that happened to be black, but Bidenâs long history of racist comments are simply his inability to adapt to acceptable speech he and his party have been leading the fight to create over 30 years?
Their defense is âheâs not racist, heâs old and out of touch.â That shows just how bad it is when thatâs their best option.
Joe refused to apologize â why should he, in Democratic Party politics, he wasnât lying â but he did âwalk backâ the comment (which is decidedly NOT an apology), calling it âcavalier,â adding he âshouldnât have been such a wise guy.â He honestly believes the only thing he did wrong was saying it out loud in public because I guarantee you itâs said regularly in liberal political circles in private while laughing. You can be that âcavalierâ when you know the entirety of the left-wing media industrial complex will snap to attention and defend you, and he was right. By Monday, it will be as if he didnât say it, just like right now itâs as if he wasnât accused of sexual assault by a former staffer with a lot of contemporaneous supporting evidence to back her up.
Itâs good to be a Democrat if you donât mind being a hypocrite and having to live with yourself.
Deep down, none of these people think they really did anything wrong, or that theyâre capable of doing anything wrong. There is no wrong that can be done in pursuit of what they view as right. Thatâs what allows them to ignore their truly awful history, and itâs what emboldens them now. Youâd have a more honest conversation with an old shoe than a liberal; at least an old shoe doesnât pretend to be something itâs not. And in all cases, it smells a lot better than what liberals are shoveling.
