Leftists are dodos

“Dodo” is a rather childish term to describe someone who is stupid.  I don’t mean it quite that way (although, as you’ll see, the end result is the same).  I’m actually thinking of the poor little dodo, a bird long since extinct because, in relevant part, it couldn’t recognize predators:

As with many animals that have evolved in isolation from significant predators, the dodo was entirely fearless of people, and this, in combination with its flightlessness, made it easy prey for humans. However, journals are full of reports regarding the bad taste and tough meat of the dodo, while other local species such as the Red Rail were praised for their taste. When humans first arrived on Mauritius, they also brought with them other animals that had not existed on the island before, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats, and Crab-eating Macaques, which plundered the dodo nests, while humans destroyed the forests where the birds made their homes; the impact these animals—especially the pigs and macaques—had on the dodo population is currently considered to have been more severe than that of hunting.

Leftists have evolved so that they cannot recognize predators either.  They are therefore doomed for extinction.  The only question is whether all Americans will join them as they head down that path, or if the majority of Americans will prove ourselves to be amongst the savvier animals on the political and ideological spectrum.
