But Let's Talk About the Democrats

I am not watching the Republican National Convention, but I am watching liberal Democrats watch it, through the magic of the internet. And though the bar for such a thing is impossibly high, this might be the most insufferably self-congratulatory that group has ever been.

You might remind them that a Democrat president and his Democrat policies killed at least 73 innocent people yesterday.Democrats will spend the next several months, and the rest of your life, reveling in their moral superiority to their counterparts.

[...]

If you mention the 73 to them, they will call you self-righteous and various other names, but they will offer no means through which we might save the next 73. They know there’s no end to the horror. They’re just too busy spiking the football to care.

[...]

And so you wonder if liberal Democrats will ever get around to caring as much for the real Muslims and immigrants terrorized by their guy as they do for the hypothetical ones at risk of being terrorized by the other guy.
