"Use your words"
Unless you're a Democrat running for office
“Words matter.”
Democrats learned this lesson the hard way last week when they suffered resounding election defeats at the national, state, and local levels. A sampling of the Dems’ “word salad” struggles:
1) Their sitting president once attempted to quote the Declaration of Independence by saying, “All men and women are created by the, you know, you know the thing.” He opened an economic speech in Maryland by saying “Let me start with two words: Made in America.” In a November 2022 speech he confused Ukraine with Iraq, and cleared up his mistake by saying, “I think of Iraq because that’s where my son died.” (Problem: Beau Biden left Iraq in 2009 and died in the US in 2015.)
2) Their non-democratically elected presidential nominee was so bad at speaking that the Left-leaning folks at 60 Minutes had to delete one of her interview answers and replace it with a completely different one. She was so bad that people begged her to stop talking and just do that annoying cackling thing. She was so bad that Fox News’ Brett Baier had to hit the pause button during an interview to ask her, “What are you talking about?”
3) Their vice-presidential nominee was so bad at public speaking that he blurted out, “I’ve become friends with school shooters” during a televised debate. He also talked about “weapons of war that I carried in a war” (he pulled out of his National Guard unit before it was deployed to Iraq) and claimed that he was in China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square revolts (he was actually in Nebraska - so close!). After being caught in these easily verified lies, he commented that, “the American people … know I’m not a serial liar.”
Down the stretch, when it became apparent that the Harris campaign was sinking, Dems doubled down on one of their favorite idiotic claims: “Donald Trump is a fascist.” This statement flooded corporate and legacy media airwaves in a last-ditch effort to turn American voters against Donald Trump.
Their strategy failed for several reasons. Specifically …
1) … the Left has used the term so often that it has lost its meaning. Any voter hearing the term “fascist” 10 years ago would have thought back to U.S. History class and remembered that a) Benito Mussolini was a fascist and b) Mussolini and Hitler were dictators who lost World War II. Today, a voter hearing the word “fascist” is more likely to roll his eyes and wonder how MSNBC can afford to stay on the air.
2) Any voters who went back and did some research on the term “fascism” probably found some version of this definition: “a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.” (Dictionary.com).
Unfortunately for the Democrats, they have exhibited many of these fascist traits over the past four years: “complete power” (COVID mandates and lockdowns), “forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism” (the censorship of conservative views on social media), and “regimenting all industry and commerce” (“accounting errors” in Ukraine funding, Green New Deal initiatives, Bidenflation). Any voter with an IQ higher than AOC will see the Democrats not only as hypocrites, but also as … fascists! themselves.
As President-elect Trump prepares to take office for the second time, one wonders what Kamala Harris will do now that she has been exposed as the highest ranking DEI hire in our nation’s history. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have made millions on the public speaking circuit since leaving the White House, but Kamala’s word salad candidacy makes that option seem highly unlikely.
Hmmmm. Maybe McDonald’s is hiring?
Rumor has it she’s worked there before.
