Obama supporters belong in varying degrees somewhere on the left of the socio-political spectrum.There are two characteristics that all Obama supporters have in common and they generally fall into two groups. The first group identifies with Obama as the underdog. Looking upon Obama mystically as a modern-day savior, this group includes most Blacks, the majority of Jewish voters, Feminists, homosexuals and all those who emotionally see themselves as “disadvantaged.” The second group sympathizes with the downtrodden out of unconscious feelings of guilt and pity. This group includes the majority of well-intentioned, well-heeled, white liberal intellectuals. They see Obama as the one best qualified to mete out the social and political justice for those who are targeted to qualify as “underprivileged.”
The first group’s support of Obama originates from a defense against unexpressed feelings of revenge, resentment and contempt of people who are labelled by the leftist media as being better off than they are. This group is the underdog and Obama is its imagined ally against this “privileged” class. Out of their neurotic helplessness and sense of entitlement, they expect Obama to “redistribute” the wealth from the ” haves” by providing them to the ” have nots.” The second group’s support of Obama originates from feelings of guilt and pity of people whom they imagine are less fortunate. These feelings are displaced from their personal lives to the social and political arenas. Their guilt and good intentions hide their emotionally based intolerance of people they regard as top dogs, the authoritarian moguls of our society that they subversively tear down.
From a biophysical perspective, both groups cannot directly and openly express feelings of aggression and hate from their core and their destructive middle layer. As a result, they see Obama through rose colored glasses as the person who somehow will make the world a better place for everyone, a role that Obama is only too willing to assume to promote his own destructive political agenda. Both groups of Obama supporters play directly into his hands which is to covertly agitate for a class struggle by pitting one group of Americans against another for purposes of weakening and ultimately destroying America as a unified nation.
Fomenting class warfare has always been a typical tool of leftist radicles to destabilize a country. It matters not a whit whether Obama or his supporters are aware or not of what they are doing. Nor does it matter what their intentions are. What matters is that the effect of their actions is divisive and highly destructive to the American nation.
