20 delusions that shape how liberals vote
Disconnected from reality: Twenty crazy beliefs repeatedly argued by liberals and Democrats that have no connection at all with reality.
I especially like the one on climate, with this line: “Politicians in this country can vote to change the world’s climate to be an ideal climate.”
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Yes, very funny article Robert because it is so ironically true.
I thought of this one while reading it: “Climate change” means believing in an irrational scientific quackery that maintains the world is becoming both dangerously hotter and colder at the same time.
Robert, seems some have “caught on” to the power derived through the willful suspension of belief in empirical science. In it’s purest form, enlightened moon-bat ideology requires but two essential ingredients 1) wish it to be so and 2) be politically correct about the former.
Mixed in proper proportions this alchemy shall save the world from itself!
Together, if we all wish hard enough, while remaining dogmatically compliant to focus group extracted political objectives, moon-bat utopia will one day amount to so much more than just flying around blind in the dark. Trust me.
As much as I agree with you about the inability of the modern left to ground its ideas in reality, I wish you would not use such insulting terms as “moonbat” to describe these people. Our goal is to convince people that the liberal ideas they have accepted as truth make no sense. If we insult them first, we will drive them away and thus make it impossible to change their minds.
Or to use an old American saying, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
My apologies. Henceforth, my responses will be made “within the pale” as proscribed.
Funny but it doesn’t come close to a Poe’s Law level of satire. Democrats don’t view their positions this way and it would have been more effective if it was a little closer to what they actually think and not what others think of them.
I had to wait until this evening to read this article because the reality bats last website has been labeled “Hate Speech” by my company’s website filter.
I particularly liked “The 22 trillion dollars spent on the War on Poverty was quite successful in reducing the number of people in poverty.”
I have to agree with wodun, the execution of the article could be improved. I think we could put together a list with using direct quotes from people that would be very effective.
If I wanted to catch flies I would use manure. Oh, wait, that desribes global warming already…
