Here's something that should be filed under "delusion can be funny".
According to a big front page article in this morning's New York Times, the Democrats are debating internally whether or not their "taking the high road" is a good strategy for political success. Seriously, the party that ran a phony smear campaign against justice Kavanaugh thinks it has taken the "high road". The party that paid $13 million to have a British spy and Russian accomplices put together a phony dossier on Donald Trump and then used that dossier to trick the FISA court into allowing the FBI and CIA to spy on the Trump campaign thinks it has taken the "high road". The party that threatened the White House spokesman at a restaurant, attacked a Republican congressman in his office on Capitol Hill, and confronted senators with threats thinks it has taken the "high road". The party that constantly lies about things as disparate as local police events or major foreign policy matters thinks it has taken the "high road". The party that only yesterday had one of its prominent spokesman unmasked for raising hurricane relief funds from the public with a big chunk actually going to the spokesman's own organization thinks it has taken the "high road". The party that labels its opponents "deplorable" and then falsely accuses those opponents of racism, sexism, and every other ism possible thinks it has taken the high road. The party whose activists have attacked GOP offices in places as different as NY City and Arizona thinks it has taken the high road.
I used to think that the Dems knew just how dishonest they are. I'm not sure anymore. I think that they actually may believe this delusion of being on the "high road". I'm also now sure which is worse. Is it better that the Dems knowingly act like low life scum while dishonestly claiming to "go high" or that the Dems are delusional and don't have enough of a grip on reality that they even know what they are doing? Neither choice is a good one.
