John Kass and I were speaking on the phone a few weeks ago, and I asked him what he was working on. He said he was in the middle of eavesdropping on Obama at his psychiatrist’s office. I immediately realized once again that Kass had struck gold. Why? Because any analysis of the former president and all his legions of true believers must begin with the premise that right now, they are all confused, unhappy, and being driven NUTS.
The reason for this collective insanity is and has always been power. The same topic that has always driven human instinct. Four years ago, Democrats controlled the presidency and Congress. To maintain power, they needed to eliminate Donald Trump, and God knows they tried everything. They failed epically and herein lies the main source of the ongoing psychosis.
The common theme of the Democratic Party is the inclusion of all minorities no matter how small or insignificant. Beginning under Obama, they carried a huge umbrella of identity politics, that included almost everyone except white men. The common thread was that all minorities were being exploited, and that the Democratic party would be their protectors. The problem of course was that the Democrats had no policy to lift the minorities out of their perceived misery.
Why?
Because they need a permanent underclass. They need what Lenin referred to as “useful idiots,” referring to followers of the Russian Revolution who in fact had no idea what they were supporting, and were willing to be dupes of tyrants. If you believe Zohran Momdani has some good ideas, or that the Clinton Foundation is an instrument to eliminate poverty in the world, you just might be a “useful idiot.”
