Not “a foolish consistency,” as Emerson would have it, but good old-fashioned cognitive dissonance.
THE COMPLETE (AND GROWING) LIST OF THINGS THE LEFT SIMULTANEOUSLY BELIEVES
I am a science teacher. In science, I teach my students that a hypothesis that contradicts itself is invalid.So I made a list.
THE COMPLETE (AND GROWING) LIST OF THINGS THE LEFT SIMULTANEOUSLY BELIEVES
Buckle up. This one is going to take a minute.
- “My body, my choice”… but you MUST get a vaccine or lose your job, your ability to travel, and your right to eat inside a restaurant. Both things. At the same time.
- “Believe all women”… unless the woman is Tara Reade, Juanita Broaddrick, or Paula Jones. Those women apparently came with an asterisk nobody mentioned.
- “Tax the rich”… said by a woman worth $120 million (Pelosi), a man worth $9 million (Schumer), and a senator who owns three houses (Bernie) — all while their stock portfolios grow on insider access the rest of us will never have.
- They are outraged — OUTRAGED — about billionaires having too much power… and then accept $1.6 billion from George Soros without blinking. Quinn’s Law #7: it is different when you are a Democrat.
- “Defund the police”… and then hire private security for themselves. I am not making that up. Multiple city council members who voted to defund their police departments had private, taxpayer-funded security at the same time. You literally cannot invent this.
- “No one is above the law”… until a federal judge in Wisconsin helped a criminal evade ICE agents and half the party defended her. Judge Hannah Dugan. Look it up. Suddenly “no one is above the law” had an exemption for people who agree with them.
- “Science is real”… but a biological male who identifies as a woman is medically, biologically, and athletically identical to a biological female. Just go ahead and ignore the entire fields of endocrinology, genetics, and sports medicine while you are at it.
- “We support the working class”… and then they vote AGAINST no tax on tips. And no tax on overtime. Every. Single. Democrat. Voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill. The party of workers apparently does not want workers keeping their own money.
- “We need more gun control to stop violence”… but releasing violent criminals back onto the street with zero bail is compassion. The criminal is not the problem. The gun on the shelf of the law-abiding citizen is the problem. I need someone to explain that logic to me using small words.
- They want a $20 minimum wage to help the poor worker… and then they celebrate the illegal immigration system that lets employers pay $6 an hour in cash with zero benefits to people who cannot say anything without being deported. That is not progressive. That is the economic model of the antebellum South with extra steps.
Yep, “Extra steps” for sure…all of which of necessity will involve more government, less freedom, and higher taxes.
Lots, lots, LOTS more to this one yet. Go ye and read of it, for IT. IS. GOOD.

Not to mention that 2 and 7 themselves are incompatible.
How can you “believe all women” when you can not define “women” are and/or men can equally “identify” as “women” just as assuredly as any actual women can?
