In an amusing twist, many Democrats have come out against President Trump’s plan to cut
prescription drug prices, raising the distinct possibility that there is
nothing—absolutely nothing—that Trump could propose of which they would
approve.
I firmly believe if Trump came out
fervently against painful rectal itch, Lyme Disease, and the repeated clubbing
of baby seals over the head with a large mallet, Democrats would immediately
and zealously defend these things-- and add them to their party’s platform for
the 2026 midterm elections and beyond.
This reminds me of an early Saturday
Night Live skit in which the host of an A.M. radio program couldn’t get any
listeners to call in with the bland topic being municipal bonds. The host
eventually got so frustrated with the lack of interest that he kept ramping up
the scenario until he finally proclaimed that he himself was for municipal
bonds being used to finance “the forced busing of Communists into your homes to
kill your puppies!” No calls. No response. Apathy.
Why do I mention this? Because I
honestly believe Trump could come out against using municipal bonds to pay for
“the forced busing of Communists into your homes to kill your puppies”
and the next day Democrats would say, “Whoa, not so fast! It’s just like a
Fascist to say something like this!” Don’t believe me? We know Democrats have
historically been in favor of forced busing. And a recent poll tells us that a
significant percentage of young Democrats have a favorable view of Communism. (Understandable, as it only killed a
little over 100 million people in the 20th Century alone, and robbed
countless other millions of prosperity, dignity, and hope.) Moreover, some (left-leaning?)
scientists purport to have study results showing that dogs are bad for the planet. Sure, dogs may be man’s best friend,
but, they say, dogs are bad for wildlife, ecosystems, and the climate.
(And cats aren’t much-- if any-- easier on Mother Earth, say the same
“experts.”)
So when Trump says something simple
like, “God bless America,” we are no longer surprised when Democrats reply,
“There is no God, and America is a racist, misogynist, land of bigoted
Fascists.”
What would be Democrats’ response if
Trump were to repeatedly and vehemently state his hatred of Adolf Hitler? Would
they be “forced” to pivot and start giving the Führer some love?
What if Trump similarly stated his
unconditional love for Democrats? Would Democrats trash themselves up one side
and down another?
That would be fun to see.
Now back to municipal bonds…
