Democrats target the moron vote
By: R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.
The author is exactly right. The democrats have abandoned so much of their old base to Trump and the GOP. They have the moron vote as for the rest of America, it’s the economy stupid.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It is slowly becoming ever clearer whom exactly the Democrats are zeroing in on as their key voting bloc for 2020. It is not the youth vote, contrary to the received opinion. The youth vote is always in danger of oversleeping, and by 4 p.m. most are in danger of being lured to Happy Hour.
It would be just like the Trump team to lure the kids, especially the college kids, to the bars rather than allow them to do their civic duty and vote Democratic or in some cases vote Communist. The Democrats are not going to waste their time on such unreliable voters.
Nor is the union vote likely to be targeted by the Democrats. The union vote is nowadays relatively small and getting smaller all the time thanks to the Trump economy. Nor is it the angry women’s vote being targeted by the Democrats. After all, the angry women are, frankly, just too irritable to be relied upon to show up at the polls. They will probably vote Democratic in small numbers, but many might very well stay home on Election Day or have automobile accidents while on the way to the voting booth. Some observers think that the Democrats will settle on the suburban vote as their key voters, but when the suburbanites have given careful thought to their 401(k)s along with other economic considerations they will be torn. Yes, yes, I know the suburban vote is worried about Donald Trump’s use of curse words, but compared to the foul-mouthed Democrats and their weakness for tax increases my guess is that the Democrats will not waste much time or money trying to lure the suburban vote. As someone once said, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
So who is it that the Democrats are going to focus on? In 2020 what voting group will form the most stable, reliable bloc for them? I think they will go with the core voters they have gone with year in and year out for the last 20 years. It won the election for them in 2008 and again in 2012. They will go for the voters whom I have been calling for years the “Moron Vote.” That is to say, the voters who believe things that are clearly unbelievable to normal citizens. In fact, I would say they believe in things that more and more Americans believe are clearly preposterous.
For instance, the typical Moron Voter believes America is a shockingly racist country. The Moron Voters believe this despite the obvious fact that increasing numbers of black people are clearly admired: admired as athletes, admired as entertainers, admired as personalities and spokespersons for various admirable causes. They are business leaders, political leaders and educators. They play active roles everywhere except in the Ku Klux Klan and among white supremacist groups, which, by the way, are not all that significant in America today unless you are a Moron Voter.
Actually, a black man was elected president in 2008 and re-elected in 2012, and blacks figure prominently in advertisements on television and radio. In fact, America is pretty much an integrated society, but Democrats deny it. They are appealing to the Moron Vote, which is why I think they will rely on votes from these ignoramuses again in 2020.
They also believe that America is anti-immigrant despite the fact that some 30 million immigrants have peacefully settled in America over the past 25 or so years. Over those years there has sprung up no nativist political party as in the 19th century. There is little sentiment against immigrants. Most Americans agree that immigrants should abide by the immigration laws. In fact, most Americans from immigrant stock believe immigrants should abide by the immigration laws.
People who ride around town in their Priuses or Volvos, their bumpers cluttered with “Hate Is Not Welcome Here” stickers or “Hate Is Not A Family Value,” or (my favorite) “Humanity Has No Borders,” are likely to cast their vote with the Moron Vote. It is just a matter of time before they add a “Vote Democrat” sticker to their bumper’s collection. Better yet, how about “Vote Socialist?”
Yet, are there enough of them? Well, I have my doubts. Donald Trump has roused an astounding number of Republicans and independents. He even has the support of some self-respecting Democrats. Moreover, my agents across America tell me that he continues to attract a growing number of Americans who rarely vote. They are tired of Democrats calling America a racist country or an anti-immigrant country or a militarist land or any of the other anti-American canards. In the coming presidential election as in the last, I believe the Democrats are going to lose. There just are not enough Moron Votes out there.

Well, I guess someone’s going to give them their votes.

Oddly enough, both Priuses and Volvos are exceptionally well made cars. No bumper stickers ever. But sure have seen some MAGA's or other old bagger sticker bullshit.
And unless you want white supremacist Stephen Miller gone, forget about 'I'm not a racist' crap. Either that is acceptable or it isn't. What does Miller bring to anything except his hate of immigrants and minorities. Oh, and Jews.
Please stay on topic of the seeded article. Stephen Miller is not on topic on any of my seeds.
Racism is on topic to this seed. Miller's promotion of white supremacist views is in the news today and obviously pertains to the topic.
Mr. Miller is not on topic and is nothing more than a trolling derail of the article on your part.
What a shock. All members continuing to talk of Mr. Miller will will be summarily ignored across the whole platform. Stay on the topic of the seed and please don’t act like it’s headline.

Yet those Democrats were conservatives. The conservative ideology still supports racists and bigots, [deleted.]
They are now all southern conservatives...you know the dixiecrats that are now conservatives, or did you forget that
You dont understand the topic of your own seed.
Actually it isn’t. [deleted]
That is flat out false. The change of the south to Republican is due to demographic changes of rust belt to sun belt migration within the country. Most of the old segregation advocates remained democrat to the day they died and almost no one in any leadership advocating segregation forever in the late 50’s to 60’s is still around. Real racism now is most common in northern liberal cities.
I stand by every word I said and next time I’ll put it in quotes by a conservative African American I’ve heard on Fox News who knows every word of it to be true.
Whining about conservatives being called racist is part of most of your seeds. Miller is directly related to that. Directly.
Impeach 28,000! 🇺🇸👏👍🎗
Impeachment is proof that democrats are going after the moron vote. Only morons favor impeachment based on the evidence known to date.

You are on a roll LIB.
This article is calling democrats morons, that's my way of showing that republicans are morons.
Thanks for the meme’s that prove the title of the seed to be so right on.

Republicans are great and patriotic Americans. 🇺🇸
Democrats are great and TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICANS
I certainly wish it was that way and maybe someday they really will be.
They were yesterday, today and will be tomorrow

Right on down the hill with no brakes
They never were, aren’t today, and won’t me tomorrow
Go to my son's grave and tell that to him. [Deleted]
that's some BS right there.
you may not be a marxist, a socialist, or an anarchist. but the democrat party is full of them.
Go to my son's grave and tell him that. Come and tell that to my face. [Deleted]
[deleted]
Sure you do, that's why you worship at the altar of Crooked donnie and eat the shit lies he spews daily. [Deleted]
LOL your too funny.
have a great day
Yes, just laugh at the fact that my son lost his life for this country and badmouth democrats as not being patriotic [americans...Deleted]
[Deleted]
hint: I'm immune to the lefts bs

And yet 7.3 which is exactly the same words directed the other way still stands and mine was written after the flag there was disallowed.
You let your article go to hell when you allowed comments to stand like insulting another member's son's death. And then she gets the violations.
I don’t have the power to delete anything. I couldn’t have done anything about those as those of us on the west coast were still asleep. It’s not like things that might have been sweeping generalizations that might trigger a response from the right weren’t flagged in the first place. They were and they were disallowed. It’s not my fault that people got in trouble answering replies to their initial provocations.
That is EXACTLY why you should lock your seeds when you are at work, asleep, or not available to guide the conversations. Ask Buzz about a real time zone difference...
Yes it is. Ask Buzz or Vic why they lock their seeds & articles routinely.
He is not talking down to him but explaining something we have told HA in the past. And if HA wanted a private discussion, he shouldn't have made a public post complaining.
it's the intention for this type of bullshit to happen with every sweeping generalization seed that's published
Really? Then from say 11 pm to 3 am pacific time virtually the entire site should be locked as virtually the whole country is asleep during those hours and then swing and graveyard shift workers and those from other countries would be out of luck. Quit holding me to a standard no one else is held to and virtually no one else does.
Two out of how many? Is it only conservatives who have to lock ours because progressives and liberals are too emotionally immature to behave themselves with out a baby sitter?
They simply hold the conservatives here to a double standard as if they don’t want us to be here anymore and make this a liberal echo chamber.
For the record the article author is a mainstream conservative writer who founded an MBFC approved magazine and writes for numerous other news papers and magazines such as The Washington Times and GOPUSA. Note that neither he more the headline said that the democrat party were morons. He simply is describing a demographic that that party seems to be targeting for their votes.
Adam Schiff and his gang of like morons had quite the inquisition today.
The moron vote award goes to anyone who voted for Trump.
Locking this article, as it has become a meta-fest.
