Things are changing fast, as you know, and you can tell how fast they’re changing by the way that people talk about politics. Language reflects feelings and thoughts. When your views change, so does the way you talk about them. That’s especially true of liberals who have very deep feelings and their main feeling (this has always been true) is contempt for you.
If you ever listen to NPR, you know exactly how much contempt liberals have for you and you get to pay for it. NPR takes your tax dollars and then lectures you about how immoral you are. That is liberalism distilled. It’s been going on a long time. NPR has been running its particular scam since 1971, but the sneering tone you hear on NPR has been the hallmark of liberals for nearly a century.
Liberals have contempt for Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon (boy, did they) and for Gerald Ford even. If you’re old enough to remember Ronald Reagan, you will recall vividly how liberals felt about him. “Reagan was an idiot,” they told you, “a mouth breather” and so was anybody who would vote for him—very much including you. In the words of Al Gore, Republicans were the, “extra chromosome right-wing.” So, they were literally genetically defective. That’s how liberals actually talk.
Whenever two or more liberals are gathered, you will find sanctimony, but there’s a new inflection. You may have noticed it recently. The pivot (and it was a pivot) came six years ago. It was during the 2016 presidential campaign. Liberals seemed to lose any remaining sense of humor the moment Donald Trump arrived. Why? Well, because he called their bluff. Looking back, it’s obvious what happened. By 2016, no one could argue that liberal programs or many programs, the various fads and metaphorical wars we were waging on this or that bad thing, there was no evidence that any of it had done anything to improve American life.
Liberals promised you they would make everything great, but they didn’t. In fact, every single liberal enthusiasm failed from radical feminism to urban renewal, from outsourcing to the so-called sharing economy. All of them, each and every one, turned out to be a complete disaster. The reason 2016 was significant is that the liberals could no longer deny this. They couldn’t say, “Give us another 50 years and we’ll turn Baltimore into Geneva.”
They couldn’t say that because no one would believe it. Not even their own voters would believe that. So, for liberals, 2016 was a profoundly humiliating moment and those can be good. Well-adjusted adults learn from humiliating moments, but that’s not what liberals did. They turned their rage outward and they focused that rage on the people they had failed. You always hate the ones you betray. So, liberals decided they hated the American middle class. In 2016, Democrats stopped making arguments in favor of their own policies, whatever those might be, and instead reoriented the entire party around attacking the very people that historically they had represented. Again, America’s middle class.
Well, in the end (and they hated this above all) Donald Trump won more non-White votes than any Republican presidential candidate ever, but they didn’t stop. No, they just increased the volume and by 2020, a lot of Americans were just exhausted. “Fine, we’ll vote for a mannequin. If only you will calm down.” That was the unspoken, yet very clear deal that liberals made with the country. “If you ditch the orange man, we will stop screaming and burning your cities and we can be all Americans again.”
So, people voted for Biden—maybe not 81 million—but some people did, but Democrats didn’t mean it. By January of last year, the Democratic Party had more power than in any time since FDR was president, but the telling point, the tip off, was they didn’t seem happy about it. If anything, they seemed angrier than ever. Why? Because they had lost faith in their own program. They controlled everything, but they had no interest in making things better. They were no longer interested at all in social improvement. Social Security—they bragged about that for almost 100 years. They stopped talking about it. Head Start. Remember that? Improving public schools. These were all liberal enthusiasms. They tried them all and none of them worked, so they moved in the other direction.
