Democrat control means Marxism, the expansion of government, less choice, more taxes, more inflation. It will mean political, economic, and cultural fires everywhere, and arsonists don't put fires out;
Democrats have started fires all over America, and they keep feeding them.
Their focus on affordability as a key issue in the midterm elections is absurd. Their push to reshape America into a candidate for Marxist globalist governance and their opening of the borders to tens of millions of unvetted migrants have played a major role in the inflation we are currently facing.
The Democrats want their power back. These are the same Democrats who created a 9.1% inflation rate in June 2022, the highest in forty years. The same party that has been taken over by a strong socialist movement with a substantial Islamic wing.
Just 45 days into Biden's term, a $2 trillion Democrat domestic spending package was jammed through Congress. They were warned that the bloated spending would create inflation, but they ignored the warning.
The "COVID Relief" package of 2022 gave Democrats play money for pet projects like $100 million for environmental justice boot camps and the greater acceptance of trees, $6.6 million for golf course irrigation, $7.2 million to increase prize money for horse races in Arizona, a $5.5 million job program for artists in Los Angeles, and a $28.5 million penthouse for the homeless in Seattle.
Biden's Health and Human Services spent $30 million on a "Harm Reduction" grant program for "safe smoking kits" for recipients to purchase crack pipes and syringes. There was no prohibition to purchase the crack and meth pipes that were often included in the kits. They disregarded 30 years of congressional prohibitions against using federal funds to purchase paraphernalia for illicit drug use.
Biden's Department of Education grabbed $122 billion to "accelerate" school reopening, but much of the money went to a culture shift like retraining staff on "implicit bias" and "restorative practices." Liberals love extrinsic names for worthless, expensive programs that don't educate.
They spent hundreds of billions of dollars on programs unrelated to COVID.
The same Democrats stopped the XL Pipeline, which would have transported oil from Canada to refineries in Texas and Oklahoma. The same political party disrupted oil exploration and refining, causing gas and diesel prices to soar. The same party mandated unrealistic regulations on gas vehicles in an attempt to compel people to buy unaffordable and impractical vehicles.
This was not a temporary price increase. The fuel increases were meant to be permanent, creating a situation where middle-class Americans were being priced out of private transportation. The price increase was done to satisfy the globalists and further control the citizenry.
Let's take a brief look back in time. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) significantly raised insurance premiums. From 2013 to 2017, premiums for individual coverage more than doubled. The requirements imposed by President Obama included numerous provisions that contributed to the rise in these costs. If you weren't getting subsidies, you were priced out of the market.
COVID-19 disrupted billions of lives and unnecessarily resulted in millions of deaths. We were led to believe it was a serious illness and that the only effective treatment available was an experimental vaccine that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Thousands of doctors appealed to the government and the medical industry that there were inexpensive and effective treatments available with names like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but to no avail. The government was hell-bent to spend trillions on a vaccine, despite the medical establishment having no understanding of its long-term effects.
The government and medical industry appeared to be on autopilot, disregarding medical facts and opting to close schools, churches, and small businesses, mandating masks that did nothing, and prioritizing experimental vaccines for the unaffected while treating those in hospitals with expensive and ineffective medical care. When rooms in hospitals became scarce, cities like New York chose to place older patients in senior centers rather than the hospital ship Trump provided, which led to the infection of others, causing more deaths...criminal.
The Obama and Biden administrations accelerated the closure of coal-fired power plants. In a short time, they reduced the proportion of coal-powered power plants from half to a third. It should have been a process, not a sudden decision. Fewer power plants meant greater costs. Everyone wants clean air, but the rise in electricity bills didn't help states like California, where blackouts and brownouts became common place. And yet, Democrats complain about the affordability of electricity...hypocrisy.
Trump's first and second terms saw the highest tax cuts and overhaul since 1986. Individual and corporate tax rates were reduced, no tax on social security, overtime or tips, and previous Trump tax cuts were extended. At the same time, household income rose. Border security was funded, creating a negative net migration for the first time in 50 years. Unlike previous administrations, our borders are indeed closed.
Trump's decision to confront Iran, though inconvenient for many, was a bold move that no other president had the courage to undertake. The prospect of a nuclear weapon falling into the hands of the most dangerous terrorist state is a terrifying reality. Victor Davis Hanson has said, "If Iran Cracks, the world will never be the same." Trump will have rid the world of the most horrid terrorist state in the world.
Trump has done more to preserve Western Civilization than any president since WWII.
A return to Democrat governance means reintroducing drag queens to children, teaching 3rd graders about gender identity, naked transsexuals on the White House lawn, gender-neutral language, and the expansion of failed cities like San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Detroit.
It will mean endless impeachment hearings, investigations, the closing of probes into Democrat Marxist activity, the opening of borders and the end of ICE and border enforcement.
Democrat control will mean the reopening of our borders.
An additional 20-30 million illegal immigrants will further increase the costs of housing, healthcare, food, clothing, and just about everything imaginable, not to mention the massive increase in crime.
Well before the end of the year, the gas and diesel prices will have come down, and people will wonder why they voted Democrat.
It means Marxism, the expansion of government, less choice, more taxes, more inflation, and square pegs in round holes. The 150 million dead in the 20th century mean nothing to them. It will mean political, economic, and cultural fires everywhere, and arsonists don't put fires out.
