DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE DUMPS ON AMERICANS WHO WANT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST TYRANNY, CRIMINALS, CRAZIES, AND TERRORISTS
“Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.” —Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

Once again, the progressive communist democrats who run the Democratic National Committee demonstrate the depths to which they can sink.
The Idiocy of Demagoguery
Demagoguery is the art of manipulating people’s emotions, fears, and prejudices to gain power or influence. It’s a dangerous and often destructive force in politics and society. At its core, demagoguery preys on ignorance and division, pushing people to act based on irrational impulses rather than reason.
What makes demagoguery so damaging is its reliance on oversimplified solutions to complex issues. Demagogues thrive by scapegoating groups, spreading misinformation, and presenting themselves as the only solution to society’s problems. They don’t encourage thoughtful discourse or healthy debate—instead, they thrive in chaos, where emotion reigns supreme.
The idiocy of demagoguery lies in its disregard for truth and critical thinking. It reduces nuanced issues to black-and-white narratives without room for compromise or understanding. Instead of promoting unity or progress, demagogues sow discord and polarization.
The truth about gun control…
- A weapon is like any other implement; its use depends on the intent of its user.
- No matter how hard you try, criminals, crazies, and terrorists do not obey the law and are willing to use any implement at hand to intimidate, injure, or kill the object of their ire.
- No matter how scary-looking a semi-automatic weapon may appear, it functions like any other semi-automatic weapon: It fires once per trigger pull.
- Restricting the number of rounds in a high-capacity magazine only disadvantages an ordinary individual facing multiple or well-concealed assailants.
- A weapon is a force multiplier that allows the weak, the aged, and the infirm to avoid becoming unwilling victims.
Bottom line…
As citizens, we must recognize the tactics of demagoguery and resist the allure of easy answers. Democracy depends on informed, thoughtful participation, not manipulating fear or hate. The antidote to demagoguery is clear: critical thinking, empathy, and a commitment to truth.
And the willingness to stand up to fools like David Hogg, a media creation who never held a job, and call bullshit!
We are so screwed.
