New Hampshire’s Democrat Legislature – Old, White Males Need Not Apply … Except …

This, from the “Executive Director” of the New Hampshire Young Democrats:

While it does not say “old, white male Gov’s” of course that’s what she means.

Two points.

One is that this is how today’s Democrats see the world (or as the second point shows want their foot-soldiers to see the world).  We are not individuals capable of individual thought, who should be judged as individuals.  No, we are just parts of a group (or groups) and what we think is determined by our group(s).  Old, white, male?  Then you are bad.  Young, non-white, female or self-identifying as female?  Then you are good.  It is a shallow-minded bigot’s view of the world.

The second point is that today’s Democrats are not just shallow-minded bigots, but hypocrites.  The Chairman of the New Hampshire Democrat Party is an old, white male.  The next Speaker of the New Hampshire House will be an old, white male.  In the former case, that the Chairman is gay presumably makes up for his oldness and whiteness on Amelia’s diversity-scorecard.  But what about the incoming Speaker?  Or the minority leader of the United States Senate – Crying Chuck Schumer?

Today’s Democrat Party is based on tribalism.  Divide us into tribes.  Pit the tribes against each other and stoke these divisions to maintain political power.  Divide and conquer.

Yet it’s mindless tribalism.  Our old, white male leaders are OK, but the other side’s old, white males aren’t.  But that means that we are more than just factors of our group or groups, that we are individuals capable of individual thought, and that we should be judged as individuals.

Yet that exactly is the opposite of what Amelia and her ilk are preaching.  Down with the old, white guys … well, except for our old, white guys.
