Contempt For Ordinary People
The chief characteristic of progressives is their contempt for ordinary people. They believe ordinary people vote against their own best interests because “rich people tell them to.”
.
In short, ordinary people are morons who need the “elite” to rule them and tell them what to do. Whether it is Stalin, or Mao, or Fidel, or AOC, or Mamdani, it makes little difference: “We know what is good for you, so shut up and do as we say.”
.
To call this “progressive” is an insult. It is a reversion to ancient times, when Pharaoh told everyone what to do. Most people wanted freedom and followed Moses to get it. But some went back to Egypt. They felt more comfortable being told what to do. Same here.
