Democrats Dominate The Strawman King In Their Mind
Democrats had their party Saturday and…it doesn’t matter. Nothing came of it because nothing was supposed to come from it, the event was simply to make sure the left’s radical muscles don’t atrophy and the Brownshirts don’t turn on them. They need to keep their fringe simmering, events like that help them not boil over as quickly. Most importantly, they need to keep them from thinking, and there’s nothing like a good day of chanting a body odor to keep original thought at bay.
I managed to avoid all coverage of it, and all news, until Sunday morning. “This Week” loved it like George Stephanopoulos loved Jeffrey Epstein (there’s something about those Clinton people and perverts, isn’t there?), but “Meet the Press” barely touched on it, instead opting for news. Granted, it was poorly done and biased, but it was at least relevant to an audience who wasn’t showerly challenged.
Personally, I thought of the whole thing as how Democrats are now: the racist, segregationist trash they are – calling for an end to Martin Luther King they way they were. Well, there weren’t any exceptions, not even for MLK, so they must hate him, right?
Actually, they do – they have rejected pretty much everything related to judging a person by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, haven’t they? That, to me, is more of a rejection of anything “King” related than what they claimed to be upset Donald Trump has done.
Did you notice how the media cropped the pictures and video? It was either aerial shots or closely cropped pictures with very little activity in the background visible. MSNBC interviewed a lot of their own employees, aka “contributors,” on the streets marching around. This allowed them to give the impression they were covering the event, rather than covering for it.
By only speaking to people who know the talking points and won’t say anything incendiary, lest they lose their gravy job, MSNBC pulled off a Goebbels-level bit of propaganda. Once a progressive, always a progressive.
But even they’ve moved on.
What is the lasting impact of Saturday? Nothing. Literally nothing. How do you mobilize people against a problem when they are the problem? What was already difficult becomes impossible when you do not want to do it – the anger and outrage prevent rational thought, to the extent they’re able to engage in rational thought.
No one wants any kings, which is why we don’t have any. What’s funny is it doesn’t occur to any of these morons that Trump is regularly acknowledging that he only has three years left in office. Not sure a king would do that.
Still, the left will goosestep every three or four months through the streets against the exact same thing with the exact same result: nothing. There’s a definition of insanity in there somewhere…
That’s the left in a nutshell, they cause a problem or create a lie, then offer a new “solution” to it or just let it hang out there as a “problem” because that better suits their political needs.
For example, Democrats are whining about Obamacare subsidies going away when they are the ones who created them to expire. If they’re so crucial, why didn’t they make them permanent when they had power? Because they wanted to use the fear they would create as leverage in a shutdown. These people are evil, not stupid.
Poor enrollees – those making $18,000 a year (which an adult would really have to try to make that little) paid nothing, but will have to pay $378 per year for their health insurance if the credits expire ($14.54 every 2 weeks, or $1.04 per day). Wouldn’t you kill for that rate? Someone making $55,000 would see their premiums go from $4010 per year to $5,478 – that’s from $154.23 per pay period (2 weeks) to $210.60, or an increase of $56.37 every 2 weeks for continued health insurance. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not a lot.
The real “hit” Democrats are talking about are for people making $85,000 or more, who will see their premiums go from $7,225 to $25,000, which is a major increase. But the real question isn’t the increase, it’s the question as to why people making near-six figures are getting their health insurance costs subsidized? Why are they not getting it through their job? Why should be pay for their choices?
With more than $37 trillion in debt, we shouldn’t be. The subsidies for people up to that $85,000 level are relatively small, as are the increases, and all should have some skin in the game. At a certain point, however, you should not be in the game at all and should be responsible for yourself. Republicans would do themselves a lot of good if they could find the words or balls to tell the public this; rather than cower, turn the tables on the Democrats.
That’s not what Republicans do. And just like telling the whole truth, or really any of it, is not what Democrats do. Democrats just march against problems they created and strawmen like “kings” whose only domain appears to be their vacant minds.
