you'll need to come up with a better term.

I'm reading the companion book to Oliver Stone's "Untold History..." Truly amazing...but I think the thing that jumped up and slapped me in the face was the figures for illiteracy in the US after WWI and the number of soldiers who tested as "morons". Granted IQ testing was in its very early days back then, but the results of numerous studies led the Madison Ave crowd to revamp the way they did advertising. No more facts, instead appeal to dreams and emotions. Republicans adopted that strategy well in advance of the Dems, who still haven't mastered it.

The first thing that needs to be done is convincing Dems they are not the Smart party...they have been out-foxed and out maneuvered
by the GOP for decades.

Oliver Stone is a whack.

No more facts, instead appeal to dreams and emotions? That's the foundation of liberalism.

The only part the dolt got right is that libs are not smart and they need to recognize it. Will they? No. Why? They aren't smart enough to recognize it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Democrat party members think they are smart and are easily fooled. Useful idiots for the most part except the manipulator elite class.

Yep.  It is.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
