Democrats have to believe certain things, or they can't be Democrats anymore

How to respond to stuff that the left says?  The Mahablog has something posted on her blog that supposedly explains the appeal of Donald Trump.

Supposedly, the "masses" are all the same.  The left lumps everybody in the same mold.

I've been over it more than once why I support Trump.  Evidently those on the left cannot accept explanations like that.  It has to be that I'm a racist, homophobic bigot that just cannot accept a black man as POTUS.  All Trump supporters are the same.

This line of reasoning strikes me as a fairly tale that the left has to tell themselves so that they can keep on believing in themselves.

If you really want to distill the appeal of Trump down to its core part, then do this:  recognize that the left is a failure, and that we want, need, and deserve something better than this for ourselves.

The Dems cannot admit failure, so they have to dream up their fairy tales so that they can keep on being Democrats.  If they recognized the truth, they'd have to become something better, which is really what they need to do.
