So, Labor Day morning, I decided to get out of the house for a little bit – a chance to clear my head from all the crap happening – and check out refrigerators on sale at Lowe’s. On the way there, I drive through one intersection with a group of about 15 leftists holding signs about “Fight Trump” and “End Oligarchy!” I doubt any of them could define oligarchy, but they’re ready to fight it! A few more intersections, a few more mutant gatherings, and one thing became clear: Democrats are miserable people.
Imagine having a day off work – a federal holiday – and you choose not to spend it with family and friends, but to get up early and run to an intersection to wave signs with slogans as stale as their hairdos at cars full of people who are going about their lives in a way you don’t seem capable of doing. It’d be sad if they weren’t such horrible people.
“Fight the takeover,” read one sign held above the head of an old woman who was old enough to be a grandmother, or even a great-grandmother, but likely wasn’t, thanks to what I’d guess was a series of abortions. Otherwise, what kind of person would rather be with strangers on a holiday than their own family?
By the way, the “takeover” of what must be fought? I didn’t stop to ask; I’d just had breakfast and could only guess at the smell of these crusted-up hippie retreads and didn’t want to suffer a “reversal,” as they say at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
But I assume, since every other sign was about how Trump was either Hitler, a king, or some new mutation of whatever fever dream only eating tofu and avoiding soap causes the mind to invent, they were talking about a “takeover” of the federal government by Trump. That seems a little odd, considering these people screech “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE” when they wake up in a cold sweat from night-terrors.
Donald Trump won the election, fair and square, and by a lot, yet these intellectual zombies don’t seem to understand that that means he is doing what “democracy” dictates. Republicans won control of the House and Senate, in addition to it. We won the popular vote and the “Congressional popular vote,” which was never a thing until Democrats invented it a few years ago to justify their obstinacy in opposing Donald Trump the first time.
No unit of measure has Democrats in the majority in the country, and it’s not even close. No matter what poll they cite or make up, Donald Trump and Republicans are lightyears ahead of Democrats and their 19 percent favorability rating. Shingles is more desired than Democrats are.
Yet, with this as the backdrop, a small battalion of mutants chose to spend their day off waiving signs like “Tax the Rich.”
By the way, the town I was driving through at the time is pretty wealthy. These were not poor people, dressed in Ralph Lauren casual wear, with BMWs parked nearby. These were the rich; the largely retired (by the looks of it). Typical leftists who advocate for things they will never face themselves. Their money is earned, their income has already been taxed, their houses are paid off, and they’re free to spend their energy fighting to impose their dying 1960s dreams on people who’ve unambiguously rejected them.
I want to think I’ll spend the end of my life with my wife, kids, and future grandkids, and traveling to visit friends and other family, not standing on a corner wasting my time on the back nine of life, complaining about whoever the President is simply because my party has nothing to offer other than hate and rage.
Brilliant people don’t allow themselves to be emotionally manipulated into “action” that is only done because there is nothing else the party can offer to excite its base. Anger is a poor substitute for a vision or agenda, but considering what they stand for, it’s the best they’ve got, and the people on the streets with nothing better to do are the only people it appeals to. They deserve each other.
The typical Useful Idiots the Dem-O-Rats are always turning to for their little posed Demonstrations
Now this is the way to accomplish nothing. Go to a protest on your day off.
Anger? They are closer to rage addicts looking for their next fix and like every other addict, screaming out their leftist talking points must be done within time-constrained intervals or withdrawals begin a meltdown into their manufactured, crying festivals and posts on social media; the crocodile tears of hatred.
Does this include Martin Luther King Junior!? I think we know enough about him now to say enough of that, too.
Leftists are the most miserable people on earth. They are miserable and they want everyone else to be miserable. Misery loves company.
A few summers ago I drove to the Leadership Institute’s Independence Day BBQ just outside of DC. It was a beautiful summer day, late morning, sunny, temp felt like low 80s.
And standing along the road leading into the park where the BBQ was, stood some 60-somethig white woman, alone and holding a pro-abortion sign. I felt genuinely sorry for her – Here was a beautiful day, off from work, and there is nobody in her life worth spending it with that this was the best use of her time?
I prayed for her at mass every week for the next year, and the following year she must have found something better to do – who says prayer doesn’t work?
There’s another angle folks are missing – these aging hippies are ready to vote, get out and pretend it’s the summer of ’65 again, and most significantly, won’t be around much longer. This is a great way to convince them to leave their wealth to some radical cause rather than their estranged children
The Dems should rename their party with something more contemporary, media friendly, and with a more accurate description: “The Jerry Seinfeld Party: It’s a political party about nothing.”
These protests are similar to circle jerks, with those gathered trying to out-do each other with their fetishized anguish.
I once saw Gloria Steinem or one of those other so called “feminist leaders” on TV. She said that all women should be feminists. She said, “You are either a feminist or a masochist,” She really said that.
She also said that all feminists should be in a “constant state of rage,”
Fine,
If you want to be in a constant state of rage, go right ahead. I can’t imagine a more miserable life and a more miserable way to live. No one but other miserable people in a constant state of rage will be able to stand you. You will die miserable, bitter and alone, with nothing but your rage at the rest of humanity to keep you company.
This is something all leftists need to realize: You can’t sleep with an ideology. And your rage gets very tiresome very fast.
The ones who really crack me up are the Politically Correct Woke University professors and teachers who think they are socialists.
They spend their career teaching their students that America is a systemically racist and evil white male patriarchy.
They teach their students that America is the source of all of the injustice in the world and the most evil and racist country that has ever existed.
They teach their students that Israel stole land from the poor Palestinians and that the Palestinians who murder, rape and kidnap Jews are justified in resisting the evil colonialist Jewish state because they are Oppressed.
They teach their students that Western Civilization is just a racist white male invention and the most racist and evil civilization that has ever existed and the source of all suffering and misery in the world.
They teach their students that capitalism is evil and the reason for all suffering and inequality throughout history and around the world.
They teach their students that they all vestiges of Western Civilization and capitalism must be destroyed.
Except, of course, for their tenured positions and six figured salaries. Those must be preserved.
I have posted MANY times on MANY articles on MANY sites (some that banned me) that DEMOcrats are simply MISERABLE and they want YOU to be MISERABLE too! That’s all they have is MISERY! I think that is a product of their MENTAL ILLNESS!
Misery loves company.
Someone should tell those Nit-Wits that we chose to Elect a President instead of Crowning a King its just that Clinton(Bill)Obama and Biden tended to act like Kings
