California’s governor is being touted as a successor to the Biden throne. Though he’s often imagined as a beacon of progress, his feckless record shows otherwise.
I think ignoring emotions and just calling people stupid is simplistic and insulting.
Strong emotions are known to make people stupider. The more they fall behind the more frustrated they get and the less they care that the official economic metrics say things are fine.
They see children being shot in the streets of Gaza and they’re infuriated at their impotence to do anything to stop it.
Just calling them stupid is only going to make them more angry and irrational.
I consider this entire line of conversation and semantics “frustrating” and “infuriating” when there is so much at stake. It reminds me of every leftist failure we’ve endured for decades.

There, I am trying to be better.
I feel the same way, but for the opposite reason.
