The Dems' dehumanizing attacks on political opponents
U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) issued a showstopper of a response to coastal elitists' characterization of nonconforming American voters as ignorant. In addition to suggesting that Hollywood script-readers like Alec Baldwin and Sharon Stone are "just goofy," Kennedy intimated that President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory was partly a response to their brand of denigratory rhetoric.
Prominent Democrats have a track record of belittling and dehumanizing Americans who come between them and power.
President Joe Biden called Trump supporters "garbage." Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters "deplorables" and characterized them further as "irredeemable." Former President Barack Obama complained that working-class voters in Pennsylvania who wouldn't vote for him were "bitter" and that "they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them."
This malicious reflex is not unique to leftist politicians. Every two years, wealthy Hollywood script-readers and the media personalities who support them similarly come out of the woodwork to tell the rest of the country how to vote. When that doesn't work, coastal elitists frequently condemn those who stepped out of line.
After the cast of Marvel's "Avengers" and other celebrities failed to convince the majority of Americans not to make the 45th president their 47th president, the condemnations came rolling in from the likes of Alec Baldwin — once again facing the possibility of a manslaughter charge in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins — and Sharon Stone.
Both script-readers decided to denigrate their fellow Americans during panel discussions this week at the Torino Film Festival in Italy.
Blaze News previously reported that Stone blamed President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory on American ignorance.
"You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before," said Stone, among the many celebrities who supported Harris' latest failed presidential bid. "My country is in its adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence."
...
Having political differences with Democrats does not make someone garbage, irredeemable, bitter, or deplorable. Unlike the Democrats, Trump has not tried to put his political opponents in jail for having a difference of opinion. We are not adolescents or arrogant. When you compare the Trump presidency to that of Biden, it was much more successful. Inflation was under better control and the world was much more peaceful.
