Do All Democrats Have to Be Complete Jerks?

Unless you live in New Hampshire, you’ve probably never heard of Chris Pappas. He’s the Representative from the state’s first Congressional District, he’s a committed leftist and sure seems like a j*****s. The bowl-cut pudge is looking for a promotion to the Senate, putting the question to the voters of the Granite State whether or not they choose to “live free” or if they choose to “die”?

Pappas is a giant nobody in the House, with a list of legislative accomplishments that would save all existing trees should someone decide to print it out. In Democratic Party circles, accomplishing nothing is a resume enhancement.

The Pappas campaign is trying to gain political mileage out of the fact that he, in a Democrat-heavy district, beat Karoline Leavitt in 2022. Yes, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who ran for the House a couple of years before taking her current gig. You’d think defeating this then-unknown as an incumbent in a Democrat district was his greatest accomplishment in life, and maybe he’s just pathetic enough for it to be.

Pappas has sent out 10 fundraising emails with some version of “I’m sorry about Karoline Leavitt” in the subject line alone. What is he “sorry” about? That she exists, like he thinks he is responsible for that and her current job – maybe he doesn’t think women are qualified to be Press Secretary, or maybe he just doesn’t think conservative women are?

Last week, Pappas sent out a fundraising email under that very subject line that was 10 total paragraphs, all of which were short. In it, he wrote “Karoline Leavitt” 6 times. Not “Karoline” or “Ms Leavitt,” but the whole “Karoline Leavitt.” Stalkers mention the names of the people they’re obsessed with less frequently.

More than being a weirdo who acts like Karoline dumped him at the prom, and he never got over it, his obsession with her is a major indicator of the fact that he has nothing else to run on. Who campaigns for a new office by mentioning his opponent from 2 elections ago as some kind of accomplishment?

Of course, Pappas isn’t a jilted ex of Leavitt’s, as he’s a gay man. That seems to be his other “accomplishment,” or something.

If how you have sex is a defining characteristic about you, you are a boring person with nothing to offer the world beyond potential victimhood – which is actually enough in the Democrat world.

Pappas, seemingly trying to insult almost half his potential voters, wrote, “A few years ago, Karoline Leavitt ran against me for Congress here in New Hampshire. Her campaign was steeped in extreme MAGA rhetoric and zero connection to the actual issues Granite Staters face every day.”

Having been born rich, with a net worth of up to $7 million, what does Chris know about “actual issues Granite Staters face every day”? Probably not much.

“Unfortunately,” the misogynist Pappas continues, “that race turned into a national audition. Now the same talking points and spin that New Hampshire voters dismissed are being used daily from the White House briefing room. So if you’re wondering how the rest of the country ended up having to listen to Karoline Leavitt, it’s because New Hampshire proved something important first: Her extreme ideas don’t hold up when you put them in front of real voters.”

How dare “the rest of the country” have to “listen to Karoline Leavitt”? How dare she have a job? How dare she have opinions a gay Democrat disapproves of? Does this woman not know her place, asks a man who doesn’t seem to like or respect women.

So many Democrats are just j*******s– complete jerks who have no concept of how to talk with average Americans and no understanding of why they would want to in the first place. They hate normal people; they hate people who will not obey or conform. They hate people who simply wish to be left alone to live their lives and raise their children how they see fit.

In short, people like Chris Pappas hate you and everyone you know. It’s not just Chris Pappas; it’s every Democrat. They all need to lose; they all need to go. He’s as good a place as any to start.
