My daily forays into the opinion sections of The New York Times and The Washington Post give me an ongoing glimpse into the alt-universe political fever dream of American leftists. It's a place fraught with panic and tension. The poor dears are forever hovering on the edge of a stroke or heart attack.
I would invite them to visit me here in the real world and calm down for a while, but if there is one thing that the Coastal Media Bubble™ Democrats have made clear, it's that they don't like hanging out with knuckle-dragging, rightwing nutjob MAGA folks like me.
It's a shame, because I'm having a great time.
The worldview of the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media posits that we are all on the verge of various kinds of ruin or maybe even death because of whatever the Republicans are doing at the time. The threat has been doubly imminent since President Trump got back into office. The caterwauling Chicken Little act predates Trump's political ascendance by decades, however.
In the 40 years that I have been a conservative activist, during virtually every congressional budget "debate," the Democrats have claimed that Republicans were going to cut spending on something that was going to kill most of the elderly people in America, specifically the grandmas. If the Dems had ever been honest and/or correct about anything, the United States would be down to its last eight or nine grandmothers.
I don't know if anyone is keeping a running tally, but America seems to be doing fine in the granny department.
It is difficult to mock leftists with absurdity because they are absurdity-based beings. If any of their pet issues — like net neutrality, for example — are done away with, they insist that mass casualties will be the result. Net neutrality came to an end in June of 2018 and, as of this writing, no one got so much as a cold from it.
OR... maybe I've been dead from it the whole time and that's why I'm so chill. All of this is just part of my afterlife consciousness.
Applying an Occam's razor approach to any of these situations, however, always leads us to a "Democrats are full of crap" conclusion.
The illogical, impractical, and un-American nature of the Democrats' ideas forces them to weaponize fear and anxiety to sell them. Keep the base emotional, and none of them will apply any intellect to their voting choices; that's the Dem way. I would prefer that half the country not be miserable all of the time. Sadly, the half that's miserable wants to remain that way. They should probably look at their portfolios. You know, the ones that they told us would disappear after President Trump started hitting our trade partners with tariffs. Mine is up so much year-to-date that I'd need a Sherpa guide to get to the top of it (embrace the nonlinearity, my friends).
I am going to kick back and enjoy the rest of Independence Week stress-free while the Democrats fret about the wrong kind of apocalypse. Death by net neutrality has really taught me how to enjoy life.
