For Democrats, Feelings Trump Facts

 

Most Democrat voters “decide” who to vote for entirely on feelings. “I feel like Kamala is nicer than Trump.” “I feel like she cares more about diversity.” Policy prescriptions and their inevitable results be damned. Screw facts. Screw logic, rationality, and reasoning. Screw the lessons of history. “I won’t let your facts get in the way of my feelings!”

A very significant minority of people vote not just on the basis of their feelings, but according to how they want to feel. Reality doesn’t factor into their decision.

Tragically, these low-information voters have a high impact on election results. And on the fate of the country. And the world.

And that isn’t just the way I feel.
