Normies don't understand who Democrats really are, because they don't normally meet them. I have had the (mostly) displeasure of meeting a lot of Chicago Democrat politicians in the past. Some I got along with, and a couple others turned into friends (people I could call for a favor and who weren't blatantly disrespectful to me). A lot of them I did the minimum amount of business I needed to do with them and moved on as fast as I could. You write checks to start and build the relationship and then the size of those checks will determine how much audience time you get and whether you will get a favor to get through Chicago's entrepreneur killing system.

But then something kept happening to the ones I liked. I don't know if it's Chicago, or the Democrat party, or just our political system in general, but these people kept getting more and more corrupt and cynical. Eventually I couldn't stand to be around them. I'm speaking of mostly Chicago politicians. But I note that it seems the federal Democrats have imported a lot of the ways that Chicago Democrats have acted. I don't know when this started, but it seemed to me to become much more pronounced when Obama's team moved into the White House.

What we are seeing now is Democrats trying the same old playbook of "Democrats good heroes, Rethuglicans bad people - Nazis," but many, many more people are getting wise to this. They see what's actually happening, versus what Democrats say, and more people are getting red pilled. Social media, X, whatever. People seem to have more access to what's really going on, and I think the Left is not aware of this monumental shift as much as they should be.

The Democrats--amazingly--have decided that the response is to MOVE FURTHER LEFT. This blows my mind, because usually the Democrats are right on when it comes to messaging -- even if the messages are lies. They usually know what people want to hear.

So that tells me that the party has lost control to the extreme left, and they don't know how to come back. Even in Chicago, they are getting more and more extreme in their socialist and communist policies. I'm working my way out, but it takes time.

So when Mr. Carter talks about Democrats thinking they are heroes, I know exactly what he's talking about. I also know (like him) what they are really like behind the scenes. Most of them are not very nice people.
