These people have built their entire worldview and personality on the idea that they are the enlightened and educated elite, living among a vast population of racist white inbred rednecks.
This is the core belief of the left. They must always be the solution among a vast population of ignorance. Today, it's "racism." Tomorrow, it's something else. It's the childish psychology of pushing others down to elevate yourself. "You're dumb therefore I'm smart." "You're fat therefore I'm skinny."
They really believe every single meme and trope of what it means to be a modern democrat. They consider themselves the fact checkers, and cannot believe anything until it’s delivered to them by other members of the educated elite. They don’t even try.
I knew a girl who didn't know shit about anything, but would get angry when I criticized the NY Times. She lived and breathed by that leftist rag. Because the modern left winger does not actually understand anything, they don't know how to question their own media sources. Instead they coronate them as priests delivering the holy word.
Absolutely spot on. Good post.
