Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die..
Mel Brooks
The quote above is one of the key quotes in figuring out how and why people do what they do.
You see most of what liberals do tend to happen to other people.
- Inflation doesn’t affect the elites, they make enough so that it milk, eggs or even gas doesn’t matter.
- Bad schools don’t affect the elites, their kids go to private or woke Catholic schools where they are immune.
- Ukraine doesn’t affect them, they see graft and public debt as nothing that makes them blink.
- Israel doesn’t affect them, they have other places to go and the elites were never big on Jews anyways
- Even abortion their sacrament that they claim rules over all (at least if you look at Democrat ads) doesn’t affect them because they know that they can always travel to kill their kid
All these issues the left can take or leave.
BUT once a democrat feels that they can’t walk safely in their own neighborhood, a neighborhood that hitherto was not touched by the effects of “Black Lives Matter” and/or “Defund the Police”. Once that reality comes into play and the realization that all their comfort and health are just one crazy guy away from being gone, BOOM!
Suddenly the agenda, all the excuses and all the virtue signaling mean nothing.
Nothing motivates people like their self preservation. Cure the 11th Doctor:
