The Only Thing Dems Have to Offer Is Fear Itself
By Brian C. Joondeph

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1933 inaugural address contained a phrase, remembered to this day. In the wake of the Great Depression, he told Americans,

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

Flash forward nearly a hundred years and the American Left is pushing fear as hard as they have ever pushed anything. We have had plenty of scares since the days of FDR, including the overpopulation, acid rain, and Y2K. Some scares have changed names, from global cooling in the 1970s, only to be replaced by global warming, climate change, and now extreme weather.

The Dems cannot survive without fear.

They are not positive people and gloom and doom, whether health, climate, race, or whatever, is the only thing offered.

They cannot be proud of anything other than 'doing something' even though what they do turns into excrement, because they had 'good intentions'.

Nothing they offer is useful to a productive, happy society.

Fear is a poor motivator for elections.  You can't beat somebody with nobody.
