If you've been paying attention to the 2024 election, you've probably noticed a trend: Democrats treating voters as if they are adolescent morons. 

It's a theme that has marked Kamala Harris' rallies, with various speakers speaking to audience members like they are teaching kindergarteners how to make vowel sounds. The latest example happened in Wisconsin on Friday, but there are many more, and all of them tell us exactly what Democrats think about Americans.

And who could forget this classic from Tim Walz's wife earlier in the campaign?

Why do Democrats do this, and what does it say about their governance? They do it because they believe you are stupid. They truly think Americans are child-like figures with no more common sense than your average five-year-old. To the average left-winger, you are an idiot who needs to be meticulously guided down to having your words coached. More importantly, that forms the very basis of the left-wing power structure. 

If the majority of Americans actually believed they could accomplish things on their own, without the need for politicians to light the way and provide everything for them, Democrats would never win another election. That's what is so insidious about the constant infantilization of voters. It conditions people to rely on an ineffective, wasteful government to take care of them the way instead of taking advantage of the opportunities in front of them. 

Why is that such a bad thing? Because this is your government in action.

I understand the above is a photo-op, but it's a microcosm of government inefficiency. Two guys and a cart could have done that same job in half the time. Instead, you've got a dozen people taking 20 seconds to move an already-cut log a few yards. If that's what Americans are relying on to better their lives, they are going to be waiting a long time. 

Thankfully, while Democrats are no doubt reaching some voters with their schtick, I don't think it plays well with the demographics they need to make inroads with. Specifically, I think this stuff turns off working-class men who are sick of the rhetoric and just want results. They are likewise sick of being treated like children and told they are toxically masculine simply by virtue of existing. If the last four years have taught them anything, it's that when the government comes the help, things only get worse.
