Are Democrat Voters Evil?

At Hot Air today, David Strom has an article that tells us It's Wrong to Assume Democratic Party Voters are Evil.

One of the frustrations all of us have is that Democratic voters are incurious about why we believe what we believe and why we vote as we do.

They come up with explanations that amount to: we are Naziwhitesupremacisthomophobiccolonialist genocidaires. They watch the pundits on TV, listen to people like President Biden, and read the editorials in Pravda and are convinced that we are on a hair trigger and will soon stalk the land with our scary AR-15s hunting down trans people, brown people, and eventually AWFLs.

The idea is of course absurd, but a lot of liberals have voted for politicians they, at some level, know are insanely liberals because they believe the alternative is a future they fear would be dystopian.

Now, reverse things for a moment. For decades, we understood that liberals see us as evil, and we saw liberals as stupid. But as their politicians have become more and more insane or even evil—what else can you call abortion until birth and sterilizing and mutilating children except demonic?—many of us have concluded that anybody who can be complicit in that evil must be evil themselves.

I see it in the comments. I understand it in my bones. When I hear a liberal talking about trans issues while ignoring the fact that boys are having their penises cut off and girls are having their breasts and wombs removed, it is enraging. Vague handwaving in the face of Mengele-like human experimentation isn't just baffling, but enraging.

So far, his experience is similar to mine. And frankly, I am not sure that ignorance is an excuse for continuing to vote for evil, particularly because so many have in essence closed their eyes, covered their ears, and yelled "nanny nanny boo boo" to avoid hearing the truth. They want to believe that man is basically good, but the truth is man, and everything in the world is fallen.

In the end, what liberals believe is that the world is perfectible with enough money and effort, and their politicians promise to perfect it. They actually believe that Gavin Newsom wants to solve homelessness, that Tim Walz wanted to feed children and provide daycare, and were shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that Biden's brain was pudding. They were told by their trusted elite that he was fit as a fiddle.

It must have been a mistake, because the alternative—a massive conspiracy to deceive the American public—would never be done by their trusted elite.

Your average liberal doesn't want communism or children sacrificed to the alphabet gods. They want peace and prosperity and a "kinder, gentler" world. They don't understand that human beings are fallen—most are post-Christian—and believe the myth that the world is perfectible.

Saint Paul notes that the Word of God has gone out to all creation. Therefore, closing your eyes, covering your ears and screaming so you won't hear it does not relieve you of the responsibility for evil. So, I will continue to think that while these people are not, in themselves, evil, they are still promoting it to the detriment of us all.
