She criticized Trump for allegedly abandoning allies and emphasized her commitment to American security and ideals. Harris highlighted her vice-presidential experience in handling security threats and pledged robust support for troops and their families.
Your perception of that apparent incongruence is correct; they are not brainwashed. They purposely seek bigoted narratives and outcomes because they believe they will personally benefit from it.
Indeed. I wish I could still see them as people who need to be shown another way, but the 21st century is almost a quarter of the way finished and they STILL choose to use the same strategies that have cyclically, objectively failed to deliver the goods so far. Doesn’t really seem like naïveté to me anymore.
Great comment! You’re absolutely right, they aren’t brainwashed. I made my comment mostly out of disgust for the shameless appeals to morality you frequently get from those who vote Democrat, but looking back I feel calling them brainwashed implicitly absolves them of the deliberate choice they make to align themselves with imperialist interests in pursuit of personal gain.
I used to think along the lines of if only these people knew the truth!; the perspective of brainwashing that I outlined is a relatively new understanding and point of learning for me.
