In the movie “As Good As It Gets,” Jack Nicholson was asked how he writes female characters so well. His answer, hilariously, was, “I think of man, and then I take away reason and accountability.” That is exactly what it is like to talk with a Democrat. They honestly live on a different planet, which is fine. The problem comes in when they try to force everyone else to live in that world – normal people aren’t interested in pretending there’s no difference between boys and girls, as none of us would be here without that difference, and we’re big fans of that difference – we just want to be left alone. That is the exact opposite of the nature of a Democrat.
They are the nosy neighbor always popping by because they saw the light on, borrowing things, and not returning them, while being stingy with their hedge trimmers. They’re quick to call the police if your music is a little too loud, but don’t mow their lawn when it needs it – wildly lacking self-awareness. They are the morbidly obese person in spandex, disproving the claim that “one size fits all” while insisting, like a Jerry Springer guest, that “You know I look good in this.”
They do not, they never do.
But the insistence is their power; they’re like Bill Clinton with a state employee: they aren’t about to take “no” for an answer.
Still, they keep trying – bless their hearts, as they say in the south. They’re like a pig trying to put together a simple Lego set – it’s just not going to work out, but they continue to roll around in the parts.
They’re trying desperately to find some way to appeal to normal Americans so they can win an election, but it’s just not working out.
Take Texas, for example. For years, Democrats have been pouring the GDP of a mid-sized country into statewide races under the delusion that they can win. They don’t. That doesn’t stop them from trying.
How much money did they throw at Wendy Davis? Remember her? She filibustered in support of abortion and became a celebrity. No other accomplishments, just talked about abortion, and that was enough to make her a progressive celebrity. They threw money and media fawning at her like a rapper who just went platinum at a strip club with a money gun, making it rain. She ran for governor….and she lost, badly. Then she ran for Congress and lost that, too.
What about Beto? How much money did they throw at the failed presidential candidate – perfect Butthead impersonator – when he ran for the Senate? How’d what work out again?
Now, they have a guy named James Talarico, a state representative, on whom they’re pinning their hopes for a Senate victory because he’s “religious.” Yes, it really is that pathetic.
You may ask yourself how Democrats could embrace someone who is a “Christian” because of their contempt for faith and anyone who has it. Well, it’s fake. Not Talarico’s faith, I have no idea if he really believes what he says or not, nor do I care, but the embrace of the idea is what is fake.
In an appearance on MSNBC (where he appears to have set up shop as they try to prop up another left-wing phony), you can see left-wing media personality Nicolle Wallace choke back the vomit as she asks him about “this moment in our politics.” Talarico starts off with, “You know that, in addition to being a lawmaker, I’m also a seminarian…” because believers always preface everything with a reminder of what they are, obviously. (Never trust anyone who insists they are something – funny, smart, honest, etc. – if they really are, people don’t need to be told, we will notice.)
This bowl-cut fake then says, “If you read the New Testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.” Does this mean James is leaving politics and going to medical school? Nope. It means he wants to force everyone to pay for the health care of the uninsured – good ole socialized medicine. Democrats are now trying to wrap their politics in Christianity in the hope that A) it fools people into thinking the party of child genital mutilation and abortion is Christian, and B) to try to provide a “moral” cover for their horrible, failed ideas.
Tell me you don’t understand normal people without telling me you don’t have a freaking clue how normal people think.
This is not only the entire premise of how Democrats are functioning these days, it is the programming guidance for MSNBC.
Honestly, these people have no clue how people who are not in 100 percent agreement with them think or what we want.
Personally, I think Texas is safe. This year’s model of “the chosen one” to flip it blue has all the charm of a weirdo with kids chained to a radiator in his basement. In addition to that, they still have no idea how Christians, conservatives, or Christian conservatives think or what they want. As long as they treat talking with or trying to represent normal people like a trip to the zoo, they will continue to lose. That is a beautiful thing.
