An insight into the defects in the liberal "brain"
If you wonder what the mental defects are like I do, this is educational.
In a post a couple days ago I mentioned how the actual systemic racism was all on the left, and I mentioned a Dinesh D’Souza documentary in that post. The film is available free (to Prime members at least) with ads on Amazon. I wrote a review there on Amazon, and after I did I checked out a couple low rated reviews, which would of course be from left wingers.
One of the things I mentioned before is how D’Souza destroys the left wing talking point of a “big switch”, where the previously racist democrats supposedly switched over to become Republicans, such that now the Republican party is the racist party. The left has to maintain this lie, even if only a small percentage of people are fully up to speed on the historical racism of the democrat party. Movies like ‘Lincoln’ also come along to open eyes, so the left has to have their lies ready.
Now if you have a functioning brain, and you set out to evaluate this “big switch”, even without context you realize that of course you need to look at a large sample of democrats over a period of years to see how many of them were switching over to become Republicans so they could keep being racist. If you don’t look at all relevant democrats in the period of time of the purported “big switch” you could easily miss a large number of switching democrats.
If you do have the full historical context dating from just before the civil war, when during a period of over 100 years almost all democrats were pro slavery, pro KKK, and against anything and everything equal rights, then of course you know you need to look at all democrats on the national level and and those in Southern states at the state level to gauge the “big switch”. Considering Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts and then later Lyndon Johnson’s efforts to buy votes and curry favor with democrat voters in particular, all the more reason to look at ALL democrat politicians and other left wing leaders in the relevant time period. There’s no way to know which democrats might have been less publicly candid about their racism, but then switched to Republican because that’s where the racists were surreptitiously or not so surreptitiously going.
But, all of this simple logic completely escaped a brain dead liberal reviewer of D’Souza’s film, and in fact he turned it around 180 degrees. (His name is ‘Dylan’, so yes I’m assuming his gender.) His claim is that D’Souza lumped in all the democrats in his graphic to call them racists! He has somehow bizarrely forgotten or simply failed to grasp that the point is that the “big switch” is false. He does not grasp that even if D’Souza’s sample were too large, if it caught hundreds of politicians switching over from democrat to Republican it would prove the “big switch” narrative.
He starts off with a claim that blacks were largely excluded from the “New Deal”, which shows more ignorance. The political promises of the New Deal were made to EVERYONE, regardless of their actual effects in practice. (Much like Obama’s “shovel ready jobs” and other lies that got him 69 million votes the first time around.) So no, HELL NO, New Deal reality versus promises would not undermine D’Souza’s point one iota. Just look at anyone and everyone still planning to vote democrat after experiencing the worst democrat hell in the history of this country for the past 1.5 years.
It gets worse from there as he gets into what I mentioned above, with notice to Amazon that this is fair use should they get worked up about it:
The central premise is that the Democrats are the racists, they then cajoled black voters over on New Deal promises (despite… being largely excluded from it? which undermines his point, but whatever) and then on the Civil Rights Act to grab political gain. Proof comes in the form of a graphic illustrating how few “true racists” switched parties. But pump the brakes! This graphic includes: KKK leaders (OK), other racist org leaders (OK), and all democratic congresspeople (representatives and senators) for the next 40 years, and all those who voted against the civil rights act (not ideal but OK). Racists, right? Wait! Back up! Why are you including virtually all Democratic politicians in this? That’s horribly misleading, especially since that’s probably the vast, vast majority of the 1600 individuals mentioned. Why include them? They don’t have anything to do with his point, that “true racists” stayed Democratic! He’s trying to sneak them in without having people think. One of his central “proofs” is based on trickery. It doesn't illustrate his point at all, and instead is a classic fallacy: all Democrats are racist because look, all those Democrats are racist!
Somehow, in that pea sized left wing brain, proving or disproving the “big switch” got totally lost. It became that D’Souza was trying to show the “true racists stayed democratic”, and that’s why he threw all of them in. This is essentially a strawman argument, but I am 98+% certain that this guy is not smart enough to even try a strawman. His left wing brain is simply warped, and he confuses a solid proof that large numbers of democrats did NOT do a “big switch” with a proof that the vast majority of democrats are racists and have stayed racist. AND, this is even though he writes":
Proof comes in the form of a graphic illustrating how few “true racists” switched parties.
Exactly, pinhead! A tiny number of switches even from a large sample is the proof!!
Now if you watch the whole film D’Souza DOES provide solid proof that the vast majority of democrats are still racists, but the reviewer’s commentary above was focused in on one graphic to try and undermine D’Souza’s absolute and complete destruction of the “big switch”. And of course all you have to do is listen to a large number of democrats to confirm for yourself that yes, indeed, the vast majority of them are racists.
