Just How Dumb Do Democrats Think Their Donors Are?

That title is a question for the ages, but it’s one for which there is new evidence toward an answer nearly every hour of every day. More often than someone with extreme OCD in cold season scrubs their counters with bleach after a friend with the sniffles stopped by and sneezes, Democrats are on a relentless question for other people’s cash. It’s a scary thought to realize there are people in this country who not only fall for it but are so wildly supportive of the manipulative masterminds behind it.
There’s an old quote that has been attributed to a bunch of people – H.L. Mencken, Louis B. Mayer, P.T. Barnum, etc. – that goes something like “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” I don’t know who actually said it, or if it was ever said by any of them, but it’s a handy quote to have and is perfect for changing for a political setting. My version would be along the lines of, “No Democrat ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of their grassroots donors.”
I’ve always found fundraising emails to be dumb pieces of propaganda attempting to fool people into giving money they likely can’t afford or otherwise wouldn’t except for something they’ve read triggering them to act. It’s a con job.
Hey, if you support a candidate and want to donate to them, knock yourself out. It’s your money, cook it up and eat it for all I care. But Democrats use manipulation and play on the abject ignorance of their base to sucker them out of money they likely can’t afford. I find that disgusting.
As I said, do what you want with the money you earn, but no one should reward anyone who insults your intelligence. Make them earn it with some honesty.
