As Midterms Approach, Democrats Scream in Protest of Accountability

 

It's becoming clear that Democrats will pay a political price for the horribly abusive way they have treated the United States these last couple of years.  Perhaps it was unwise of them to stake electoral fortunes on a narcissistic belief in their own virtue.  But like "Wyoming Republican" Liz Cheney, they just can't help themselves.  Their closing argument to voters?  Set aside your parochial concerns with the cost of living and your family's safety, peasant, and pledge allegiance to us.  This is your duty to Our Democracy™.  [...]

So in the words of out-of-touch Juan Williams, if you don't vote Democrat, the Republic is lost.

“Voters say inflation, not the threat to democracy, is their first concern.

 

How can anyone close their eyes to the big picture — a threat to our nation’s political stability, the cornerstone of American democracy?”

 

People just got too used to 2-3 percent inflation, and perhaps some of them recall which party brought it.  Old people like me vote in higher per capita numbers in the 1970s and we remember the 1970s, when inflation raged unchecked.  
 

The economy, stupid

Interestingly the threat to democracy is a concern to both Democrats and Republicans

 

Presumably different threats

Greatest campaign motto ever from the greatest campaign strategist ever.  So good that after he beat his counter part in 1992, she married him.

DHS Announces They Will Suppress As Much Speech As It Takes To Preserve Democracy

 

 

U.S. — Amid shocking leaks that showed the Department of Homeland Security colluded with tech companies to suppress speech they disagreed with, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has doubled down, promising to suppress as much speech as it takes to preserve democracy.

 

"As everyone knows, democracy is when Democrats hold unlimited power, and today that sacred foundation of our country is under attack from free speech," said Mayorkas from a massive television screen being played in the town square before an assembly of glassy-eyed citizens in identical grey jumpsuits. "We will not tire of protecting our country from violent threats such as speech, opinions, people saying stuff, and bad inward thoughts that poison the mind against your benevolent overlords. I love democracy!"

It's been happening for years now.  Hunter's laptop, the election, covid, and so many others.  We are screwed as a divided nation.
