To start with, the Supreme Court ruling she references (see “NY Times on the Left’s Skrmetti Bungle: ‘Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb’,” June 21) was a consequence of transgender activists overplaying their hand, trying to claim that a state law prohibiting transgender “treatment” for children to be a form of sex-based discrimination that violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pause for a moment to ask yourself whether those who voted to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 intended for it to protect the use of synthetic hormones and surgery to turn children into carnival sideshow freaks. As a legal theory, this is bizarre, and yet “Cloud” (who identifies as a “trans person” despite apparently having undergone no such treatment herself) sees the Skrmetti ruling as “life or death.” This over-the-top rhetoric is entirely consistent with her lazy formula “MAGA = Nazi.” If you don’t vote for Democrats, you are a latter-day Hitler, she contends, and therefore . . . ?

Violence is the logical conclusion of a syllogism built on such premises, and good luck trying to convince Democratic voters that their belief system is based on dubious premises and fallacies. Having convinced themselves that they are “on the right side of history,” they consider it a hate crime to disagree with them. This fanaticism attracts bad people to the Democratic Party banner, and the bad people expect their party to represent their beliefs, which is why the Democrats are so crazy.

How can any sober person take seriously a party which attracts support from — and claims to represent the interests of — both transgender perverts and Islamic jihadists? “Queers for Palestine” sounds like the punch-line of a Monty Python sketch, but it’s both very real and very much a constituency of the Democratic Party. And nobody in the party is permitted to point this out. For the sake of maintaining unity, Democrats are required to pretend that these kooks are perfectly rational, and so while there is a constant intake of nutjobs, Democrats simultaneously suffer an exodus of sane people who simply get tired of playing along with this craziness. So this cosplay personality “Cloud” is not merely a typical Democratic voter, but is the typical Democratic voter.
