That's a wonderful parable.

For such a situation to work, the person being taught must be intelligent, have basic morality, have a conscience.

Wild animals cannot learn anything from this. Nor hominids, who only understand race, tribe, and force.

So our Replacement Americans cannot be so taught.

Just as John Adams wrote, of the Constitution. It was intended for the moral and God-fearing, and would be ineffective with less-advanced societies or subcultures.

But what are democrats supposed to do? I'm not sure that is humanly possible.
 
Advice to Dumbo cracks:

Find a hobby. One that has nothing to do with gaining power over others.

Stupid, addled, sexually-obsessed people are not fit to lead, rule, or even discuss in the public sphere.

Go collect stamps. Or tattoos. Or learn about Sovereign Citizens, and how they don't have to pay taxes or get drivers' licenses. That's always fun when they meet a no-nonsense judge...

The first thing I think, is, what do these people want ME to think? Remember...they're posting this in a heavily-censored medium, likely controlled by the Three-Letter Agencies. Nothing is accidental. They have an agenda. And they're aiming their propaganda at people like you and me.

They HATE how the less-easily-controlled types on the far right of the Bell Curve, resist their "nudging." So, they're going deeper into an ancient technique - the wolf in sheep's clothing; the false friend, the intellectual double agent, offering disinformation.
