There are a whole lotta people out there ... namely Democrats and other assorted leftists ... who are desperate to live in a child-like state, ribit. They want it easy ... they want to be coddled and taken care of ... they don't want to think for themselves - that's TOO hard on them, don'tcha know. They'd rather be lied to and mindlessly accept it than to acknowledge the truth that stares them in the face ... because that truth ... reality ... would force them to actually thing for themselves and be responsible for their own lives. A perfect example are the growing number of fragile snowflakes on college campuses across the nation who need "safe spaces" because they might suffer a "micro-aggression" by overhearing somebody else speaking in a very rational, factual manner.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
