Indeed!
Democrats are screaming about the impact of THEIR government shutdown

They are willing to be duped, TD. For the cause.
Yet, none of them can define what that "cause" is other than "BUT TRUMP!"
When Democrats were polled about who is the leader of the party, 21% said "don't know" and 10.5% said "nobody". Kamala garnered 16.1%. One can only hope and pray she becomes the face of the party in 2028. Hakeem the clueless lying moron got 7.4% and the Schumer shutdown man garnered 7.7%. Newsome wasn't even on the radar.
They are "highly-educated" TD, by a Democrat-dominated system funded by taxpayers.
The trouble is, they are programmed by indoctrinators, rather encouraged ask questions and seek answers.
State-funded education systems produce waves of ideologues through a remarkably consistent playbook that’s been refined over a century. Here’s how it works, step by step:
- Monopoly on time and trust
From age 5 to 22, the state gets 30–35 hours a week of a child’s most formative mental real estate, plus the implied endorsement of parents who are told “these are the experts.” That’s more waking hours than parents get, and it’s backed by compulsory attendance laws and the threat of truancy courts. - Selection bias in the indoctrinators
People who choose college-level education programs already skew left by about 12:1 in social sciences and humanities (look at any faculty voter registration study—UCLA’s HERI survey routinely shows 90 %+ Democrat identification in ed schools). These are the people who then write the curricula, train the teachers, and accredit the schools. The pipeline self-selects for one worldview. - Credentialism as a loyalty filter
The system rewards agreement with the approved narrative by granting degrees, certificates, and tenure. Question the narrative and you risk failing classes, losing recommendations, or being flagged by “bias response teams.” Over time, only the compliant advance. - Explicit hierarchy of intelligence
Textbooks and lesson plans now routinely frame certain views as “educated” and opposing views as “uninformed,” “bigoted,” or “anti-science.” Examples:
- AP Psychology textbooks label conservatism as a personality trait linked to “fear of change” and “rigidity.”
- College freshman comp readers present climate skepticism as equivalent to flat-earthism.
- Gender and race units teach that disagreement with progressive framing is itself evidence of “internalized dominance” or “fragility.”
- Grading as psychological conditioning
Students quickly learn that parroting the professor’s politics earns A’s, while independent thought earns C’s and lectures about “harmful misinformation.” This creates a Pavlovian link: ideological conformity = intelligence validation. - Social proof on steroids
Every classroom is a curated echo chamber where the teacher is the only adult voice and dissenting students are outnumbered 20:1. Kids naturally conclude, “If everyone smart agrees, only dumb people disagree.” - Debt as a sunk-cost trap
By the time a student has $80 k in loans and four years invested, admitting the whole worldview might be nonsense feels like torching their entire identity. Easier to double down and call the skeptics “fascists.” - Professional incentives lock it in
Once they become journalists, HR reps, social workers, or nonprofit staff, their income and status depend on signaling the same beliefs. The machine pays people to keep believing they’re the smart ones.
Simple slogans are easily remembered.
Democrats are conditioned to say whatever their thought leaders told them most recently. They don't even notice when today's message conflicts with yesterday's TD.
No argument from me. Its a very sad state Democrats find themselves in. A massively failed healthcare program that the unhinged left cannot find any mental health assistance for their Unhinged and deranged TDS.
