Election 2018 and the cognitive dissonance of the left.
Despite that hefty title above, I am going to zip right
through this….no need to write even MORE common sense shit that will have ZERO
impact.
In 1988 Bush the Elder swore on the campaign trail that you
should read his lips….”No New Taxes”. He
promptly back pedaled in 1990 and signed a democrat house budget that was jammed
full of new taxes. How did the left
force Bush to become a liar? Why, the
threat of a government shut down of course.
That boogey man that most Americans with a brain could not care any less
about. The left considered, and
considers him a hero for hiking taxes.
They considered him so much of a hero that they ran against him with a
philandering, likely rapist, former hillbilly governor, steeped in more than a
few dishonest dealings and married to a woman only slightly more corrupt than
him. That candidate, Bill Clinton,
remarked during and after the campaign that the issues facing the nation could
be summarized in the sound bite “It’s the economy stupid”. I always thought it telling that the left got
their tax increases and two years later had to run on the economy….should not
the economy have been a non-issue? For
virtually the entirety of the Clinton administration the economy WAS good…fueled
in large part by Al Gores invention of the internet. But the economy was like “The Matrix”, a
system on top of a system…..what WE saw was under cut by regulation, the
monstrous government Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac scam…..and a system like that,
which we saw around 2007 cannot sustain itself…you simply can’t poison the
goose and expect it to continue to lay golden eggs.
You saw what I did there, right?
So, why bother you with all of that? Good question. The left cornholed the nation and Bush reneged
on his promise, which probably cost him re-election, making him a leftist
hero. In return, the nation as a whole
didn’t get shit while setting the stage for Obama, eight years in which the
nation got shit on. Despite what you
read from Paul Krugman and Robert Reich, no existing metric indicates that
anything Obama and the left did, was good for the economy. I think that the best thing that can be said
is that we didn’t ALL end up homeless AND jobless. We experienced the worst recovery from the
worst economy since numbers have been kept on the issue, and that INCLUDES the
great depression under FDR, which history indicates would have been a hell of a
lot less severe had it not been for government intervention. All of his speeches notwithstanding, along
with the revisionist history being written on the left daily, cannot change
that.
What has changed that is President Trump and his policies…..I
can barely spell economix, but what I read, the same indicators used to illustrate
the failures of Obama and the left, is good.
Yet, on Tuesday, thousands, hundred of thousands, maybe
millions will go to the polls and vote against their best interests, and the
interests of the entire nation. They
will vote for increased taxes, and increased spending, but for no return on the
investment.
Today, next week rather, we will see that the left has been
stunningly successful in getting people to not look at what is important.
·
Thousands of people will vote for women because
they actually believe that women tell the truth about the sexual predations of
males 100% of the time, and consider an allegation as good as proof and are
pissed off that Brett Kavenaugh was not tarred and feathered for something for
which there is no proof.
·
Thousands of people will vote for ANYONE that
will promise them unfettered, free health care.
They will love the idea “medicare for life.” They will ignore the reality that THAT
promise will require the eliminiation of medicare as we know it, the removal of
all private insurance and a tax to provide a government plan called medicare
for life, which will break the nation.
·
Thousands of people will vote for the person
that promises to accept all comers, regardless of point of origin or intent;
you want to come to America, come to America, on our dime. The news media will tell you that the
constitutionalists, those of law and order kill joys, are trying to scare you
with stories of importing disease, crime and poverty…..assuming that none of
you are currently living among the disease, crime and poverty.
·
Thousands of people will vote for candidates
that despise law and order, like the leftist candidate for the governor of
Florida, primarily because they are idiots.
Those same people will vote for someone who promises to ban guns, because
they were not idiot enough already.
·
College kids around the nation will vote for
someone solely because he or she supports LBGTQXYZ (whatever), and thinks that
those people deserve all of the rights that they already have.
·
Supporters of ANTIFA will flock to the polls to
prove that education and money cannot make you civilized….and they will vote
for those who support that.
·
Droves will vote for liberal plans that require
increased taxes and promise nothing in return.
Ask yourself, if government, especially liberal government, with its’
hands in your wallet up to the elbow, could FIX crime, shitty public education,
crappy college programs, leftist generated racism, un-livable (almost
exclusively liberally run) cities, illegal immigration, religious persecution,
broken foreign policy….while making America prosperous…..don’t you think it
would have happened by now?
And guess what?….It won’t even take a year before the
mistake is plain for even Ray Charles to see.
Returning businesses will not, hiring will slow, economic growth will
plummet, illegal immigration will cease to exist because the name will be
changed, unemployment and crime will be up, the world will be increasingly violent
and America will not be nearly as safe as it is. And all of those people voting for leftards
on Tuesday will be scratching their asses and wondering “What happened? What did Trump do?” They will never ask what they did.
Cognitive, intellectual dissonance; they will be completely
unable or unwilling to confront the reality that, voting for the left, is a
vote for their own enslavement.
And two years from now…unable to grasp simple reality, they
will do it again.
