Ideology negates intelligence

Do you ever wonder why politicians, especially left wing politicians, always double down on stupid?  When a policy causes obvious harm why do they continue to advocate for it and even expand the policy to maximize the destruction?  Part of it is arrogance of course.  They simply can’t admit that they are wrong.  But it runs deeper than that.  Deeply ideological people don’t even know they are wrong.  They are so disconnected from reality that they are oblivious to the harm they have caused.

Last week I came across this post on X discussing just this point.  Sorry but since the switch from twitter to X, I can no longer embed videos.  Please follow the link because I think what he says is spot on and to me it has the added benefit of showing how immigration is supposed to work.  This man is obviously not Anglo Saxon but he is British.  He is dismayed at what politicians are doing to his adopted country and Anglo Saxon brethren.

“The left believe they are righteous but they are both dark and cowardly.”

I really don’t know how you say it any better than that.  Their inability to see reality allows the left to do truly evil things and feel quite virtuous about it.  No matter how many people get harmed their actions are always righteous simply because they think they are righteous.  You will never convince the left they are wrong about anything.  Anyone who wants to change any of their destructive policies is branded far right and accused of wanting to turn back the clock on progress.  The old adage “when you find yourself in hole, stop digging” is lost on them.  Making the hole deeper and harder to climb out of is progress.  Filling the hole in is attacking women’s rights or some other such nonsense.

You should never elect idealists.  When that idealist is also corrupt and stupid you should run the other direction.  9 years ago, sadly, Canadians did not do that.  They voted for an idealist who admired communism and thought budgets magically balanced themselves.  That particular ideological moron has done damage that may never be fixed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is noted for its scandalous behaviour, but more serious is the fact that its core policies have placed Canadians in a worse position than they were when the Liberals ushered in their “sunny days” in 2015. The Trudeau government’s policy record speaks volumes. Every week there are new facts surfacing and new evidence of deceit or incompetence, or both, that speaks to why Canadians need a change of government in Ottawa.

Canadians have discovered the hard way that the worst thing about idealists is that they vote.
