Have you ever noticed that the Left tends to be far better at motivating crowds—especially young, emotional ones—than their counterparts on the Right? I mean, really, wasn’t Bernie more entertaining than Hillary, Ted, Rand and just about every other horse in the 2016 race with the exception of Candidate Trump?

Truth be told, the celebrants of the cultural Left—political progressives, entertainment elites and most news media—are nearly always better at propaganda, because they generally deal in untenable ideals (aka fantasies) rather than reality, and hold little regard for truth other than to turn it into balloon animals they will then proclaim alive. Such truth-twisting is grounded in the moral quicksand of relativism, and it shows up in bogs everywhere from the halls of academia to the Supreme Court, with its “living document” view of the Constitution, to Saturday Night Live, whose stock in trade is caricature trying to come off as commentary.
