Why Are There so Many Militant Democrats?
By Pete Colan

As an engineer and scientist, I am never happy to accept “what is” but am always in pursuit of “why is it?”

For many years I have pondered why there are so many militant “ground troop” Democrats.  These are the local people who constantly fight for liberal causes and are perpetually miserable as has been observed and discussed by many authors, citing just one here, but any internet search will reveal dozens more.  These are the white people who contribute to BLM and march in their protests.  These are the transgender activists (and probably not transgender themselves) who assaulted NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines when she spoke out opposing the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports.

I differentiate these people from elected Democrats who have figured out how to “game” the system and obtain great wealth by assuming a liberal stance.  Do they really believe the socialist propaganda that they espouse?  Maybe, but one then must ask was David Koresh a real Christian or a person with natural skills to influence and manipulate people to satisfy his evil personal ambitions?

They are religious cultists.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Absolutist beliefs without critical thinking skills.

Ever notice how a liberal starts Climate Change debates with "There is no debating that Climate Change is real/exists."

Critical thinking argues that everything is up for debate at all times.  If a hypothesis is true, it will withstand third party scrutiny and empirical skepticism.

Modern Liberal Arts institutions discourage intellectual confrontation.  The professors and students are not used to having their ideas and beliefs challenged, so, they haven't developed the skills necessary to defend their ideas and beliefs.

That's how we live in age where many will use "there is no debating ..." as an opening argument.

A lot of them (if not most) come from privileged backgrounds so I'd say it's a combination of feeling guilty and needing drama in their life.

Because we are letting them get away with it.

When one willingly joins The Party, one accepts that The Party is structured as a military organization, with orders given from the top down.

As such, Party members will accept and execute such orders from their immediate superiors without question.

That's how it works...

Or, any argument that starts with "everybody knows that..."
