Once again a great activist has turned into a writer. Colleen Britton works tirelessly to support, organize and promote activism in Sacramento and Northern California. She understands the need for immediate action.
“They boast about protecting minorities, yet democrats fail to protect families and religious minorities. They continually look the other way and ignore anti-Semitic rhetoric and violent behavior calling it protected speech. Their “mostly peaceful demonstrations” almost always end in chaos, lawlessness and violence against law enforcement.
Democrats identify as the party of science. “Trust the science” they say yet they deny basic biology 101. Choosing a pronoun is not changing your sex. They refuse to objectively examine any conflicting research in multiple scientific areas including biology, medicine, climate, and more. That’s not science. It’s ideology.”
The first step in being an effective activist is to be informed about the issues. This article goes to the heart of the Democrat Party problems: HYPOCRISY AND HATE.
The Right Stuff: It is time for an intervention
Colleen Britton, Daily Republic, 6/15/25 https://www.dailyrepublic.com/opinion/the-right-stuff-it-is-time-for-an-intervention/article_aee64ee8-0eb3-47d0-90dc-3cc043c1c827.html
Like rats bailing off a sinking ship, democrats are quickly distancing themselves from the failures of the Democratic Party and the past administration.
Last week, Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s White House press secretary, said she’s no longer a Democrat. This is rich coming from the very spokesperson of the president only months after leaving office.
What’s happening? Democratic voters find themselves disoriented, disheartened, disillusioned and suffering from dysphoria: a profound state of unease or dissatisfaction.
I believe it’s called cognitive dissonance: a state of mental discomfort experienced when a person’s beliefs, attitudes or values are inconsistent with their actions or new information.
That new information includes reality, truth and facts that democrats find hard to reconcile. What are some of their beliefs, attitudes, and values? How are they inconsistent with reality, truth, facts and their past actions?
On several major issues such as open borders, deporting undocumented criminals, supporting law enforcement, and others, democrats find their position outnumbered by a vast majority of Americans by ratios as high as 80 /20.
Democratic leaders claim to be the party of the working class yet they continue to promote policies and pass legislation that raises the cost of living including the cost for energy, gas, food, housing, taxes, and more. They focus on generating more revenue for the state and more state control over every aspect of our lives.
They pride themselves on their support for women yet time and again they fail to protect both women and girls. Several bills during this legislative session would have kept males out of women’s facilities and sports. All of these bills were soundly defeated by democrats in committee leaving women and girls vulnerable.
Democrats espouse a belief in free speech yet they silence or shout down any ideas that contradict their own ideological narrative. They refuse to allow conservatives to speak on college campuses – places which should foster the free exchange of ideas. They silence conservatives on air when they present any idea which conflicts with their narrative.
Democratic leaders claim to be the champion of democracy yet we see them thwart the democratic process time and time again. They try to manipulate elections by eliminating certain candidates’ names from ballots. They misuse the justice system by waging law-fare against opponents. Within the California legislature they refuse to allow many Republican sponsored bills to even come up for discussion in committees – let alone a vote. Excluding alternative ideas from discussion is hardly democratic.
They see themselves as creating unity yet their policies like Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Critical Race Theory, foster discontent, animosity, and division among individuals, groups in the workplace, communities, and across the country. Democrat leaders want to pigeonhole Americans into small demographic groups which they believe they can control.
They boast about protecting minorities, yet democrats fail to protect families and religious minorities. They continually look the other way and ignore anti-Semitic rhetoric and violent behavior calling it protected speech. Their “mostly peaceful demonstrations” almost always end in chaos, lawlessness and violence against law enforcement.
Democrats identify as the party of science. “Trust the science” they say yet they deny basic biology 101. Choosing a pronoun is not changing your sex. They refuse to objectively examine any conflicting research in multiple scientific areas including biology, medicine, climate, and more. That’s not science. It’s ideology.
They purport to be truth sayers, yet we see them caught in lie after lie – denial after denial. It’s no wonder Democratic voters are in the doldrums. It’s time for some soul searching, self examination, a “look in the mirror.” Ask, “What do I stand for?”
When questioned by democratic friends, offer a helping hand, point them in a direction where they can seek and find truth for themselves. Then welcome them into the real world where everything is questioned and open for discussion
It’s time for an intervention. Resolve the dissonance.
