For a guy who lives in one of the bluest neighborhoods in a very blue city, I'm still in touch with a lot of people on the conservative side of American politics every week. There are my colleagues, close friends, some relatives, and. of course, you fine and astute readers. It's a great situation: I can keep my finger on the pulse of what's going on out there without having to, you know, go out there.
On weekdays, I get a lot of emails, calls, and texts from people asking me about the state of affairs in this once-proud Republic. The longer Joe Biden is in office, the more anxious and nervous people become.
To a lot of people, it feels as if we're in the midst of one dreary winter after another.
What I am writing about today isn't really new information to people who are steeped in politics. It is, however, worth reminding ourselves of it during these low periods.
The Democrats want everyone to be miserable. It's always Number One on their to-do lists. If they can get the opposition to permanently plumb the depths of despair, they have a great chance of turning them into apathetic non-voters. The battle is then won without ever being fought.
It's not just Republicans who they want to keep under a big, dark cloud. Keeping members of their own party bouncing between depression and panic is an integral part of selling the leftist snake oil. That's why the Dem talking heads are out redefining "overwrought" every day. Donald Trump is going to suspend elections if he wins. Traditional Roman Catholic Masses are breeding grounds for domestic terror plots. We're all familiar with the litany of stupidity that they've been reciting to the faithful and their lapdogs in the mainstream media. It's also a useful ruse to distract from the fact that President LOLEightyonemillion is walking in circles and shaking hands with phantoms.
Because they've been in power for a while, the Democrats have not only been able to sell the aforementioned snake oil to their own voters, but they've also created a series of crises that are genuine causes for concern. As I've written a few times, trying to pay attention to all of the messes created by the Biden administration is nigh on impossible, and overwhelming if one does manage to do so.
Yes, the Democratic Misery Machine is firing on all cylinders right now. The first step in not letting it ruin us is acknowledging that ruin us is precisely what they want to do. They want our help, however. If there is a lazy way to go about things, the Democrats will choose that every time. They would greatly love for us to all roll over and play dead long before next November gets here.
I'm going to have to opt out of that plan, lefties.
