What do people gain from being DEMs?

They perceive themselves as more intelligent, more compassionate and more enlightened. You and I are but rubes on the back of the potato truck in their mind.

feelings, nothing more than feelings

They see themselves as the good guys fighting against white supremacy and the patriarchy. Logic and reason will never be a factor because no matter what either side does, they can’t side with hateful oppressors.

That’s your average democrat walking around in the real world. But there are many in leadership that know better. They’re the ones fabricating the storylines to manipulate the masses. They are truly evil.

Well, the protestors are getting $3,000 a month.

It’s an internalized narcissism and toxic empathy. My political views are virtuous, therefore forcing them on society, or falling on my ideological sword before the battle is won, is more important than real incremental reform. They are revolutionaries unwilling to revolt…Always losing.

Look at Massholes for example. It’s the same phenomenon.

Ha sounds about right.

An aura of transcendence, a sanctimonious attitude and a smug and undeserved sense of moral and intellectual superiority. Also, usually, a few extra pronouns on their LinkedIn.

Other than that, nothing.
