Could it be? A Commie Comeback?
I'm no Irene Reilly (mother of Ignatious) , finding evidence of the "Communis" at every turn, but only a dimwit would dismiss the recent victories of the Democratic Socialists.
Look at this way friends, they're a word away from, in Aretha's words, calling this song exactly what it is (what it is, what is), and that is socialism. Which as we all know is the freshly showered, polite version of communism your sister brought home from Sarah Lawrence to meet mom and dad. They leave their Che’ beret in the Prius.
Well, how did we get here? Just like the majority of American voters in the last presidential election the commies were deeply disappointed with candidate Kamala "SAMO" Harris. And, like many of us on the Right, they found the embedded professional political class of the Swamp to be out of touch with the daily challenges of everyday life.
To make their message more appealing, they sexed it up with the false eyelashes and rhinestones promise of no jails and borders. Woo-hoo! Party time. 'cause ain't nothing gonna help the working people more than competition for jobs from, umm "guests" from countries where life is truly desperate. Okay, that part of the platform needs some help.
And we are to blame. Yep, the Tea Party-MAGA-no more wars-government off my back-whatever you wanna call us crowd is to blame. Sir? Sir, put your gun down while I bloviate. Besides, I'm a far better shot than you will ever be, so as Jagger implored the Altamont audience "cool out, people."
President Trump's "messaging", as the permaclass calls campaign themes, in his 2016 election was smart. He spoke to the millions of Americans who felt excluded from the fringe-baiting messaging of the mainstream Democratic Party. His brilliance was making his candidacy about citizens who felt excluded from the American Dream.
And then he fumbled. His last campaign devolved into a platform that was an outraged pity party. And people bought what he was selling. Instead of joy over electing a President who appeared to be listening to the millions of citizens without a college degree, we voted for an angry man who, with no evidence, claimed the 2020 election was stolen from him. Had he faced a stronger candidate than Vice President Harris he would be kvetching from the sidelines.
It's time to return to the values of conservatism, because our ideas win elections. More freedom. Fewer laws. Lower taxes. Competition in education. An economy that succeeds without our current state of permanent war. Continued border law enforcement. Stop assuming every other country is a harboring a silent majority of people yearning to live in a democratic republic like ours. Overturn the Patriotic Act. Shutter Homeland Security and the TSA. Close the ATF, EPA, and Department of Education. Close the CIA. Layoff half the FBI and remove bank robbery investigations from their duties, Blue Collar Crime is as dead as Dillinger.
I’m just getting warmed up.
Remember, we have better music than the Commies do.
