You Can't Fix Stupid
Words and language have not been kind to the Lunatic Left
There’s “word salad,” and then there’s just flat-out stupid. In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, many people on the Lunatic Left decided to say things. Out loud. The results were not pretty:
1) “They set Kamala Harris up to fail. That was a three-month campaign, and she was supposed to introduce herself to the American people?” - Sarah Isgur, ABC News Correspondent, on Real Time With Bill Maher
Reality check: Kamala spent 87 days ducking unscripted questions and sit-down interviews because her advisors were terrified that voters WOULD get to know her. (In the advisors’ defense, hiding out from the public helped Joe Biden get elected in 2020.) Host Bill Maher’s response to this drivel was perfect: “It wasn’t that they didn’t have time to [be] introduced. It was that they met someone and didn’t like ‘em … In a mass media age, 107 days isn’t long enough to know somebody?”
2) “Your lawn maintenance is about to skyrocket because 90% of workers in the lawn maintenance industry, they come from Mexico. And whether they’re here legally or not, Stephen Miller … is going to deport them.” - Random crazy lady on social media
To me, blaming our country’s immigration issues on Mexicans who cut lawns seems a smidge racist. (Maybe this lady didn’t hear elder abuser First Lady Jill Biden tell voters that Latinos are “as unique as breakfast tacos.” On second thought … maybe she did.) Also, I think I missed the memo where Mr. Miller threatened to deport U.S. citizens simply because they are Mexicans who cut lawns for a living.
3) “ … the price of eggs and the price of gas, I mean, Trump didn't address those [issues] during his rally. He didn't address those during his campaign." - Sunny Hostin, The View
I suppose this is what happens when you live in a self-reverential echo chamber. Trump essentially ran on two issues: 1) illegal immigration, and 2) the economy/inflation. He won because the Biden-Harris administration did such a terrible job on both. If Ms. Hostin doesn’t think the price of eggs and the price of gas fall under item #2, she’s dumber than Joy Behar.
4) “I mean, this was an historic, flawlessly run campaign … Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed [Harris].” - Joy Reid, MSNBC crackpot
Setting aside the fact that Joy Reid is a complete lunatic, I suppose that rational people could define the term “flawlessly” in different ways. I myself would argue that having a vapid, unqualified Leftist candidate (Harris) sit for an interview with an intelligent, qualified, Right-leaning interviewer (Bret Baier) could be considered a campaign strategy flaw. Another flaw might have been encouraging your candidate to mock Christians in public. Or telling her to say she wouldn’t change anything about Joe Biden’s train wreck presidency. (In all fairness, I did not factor Queen Latifah’s endorsement into my definition.)
5) “How ’bout we get rid of the Electoral College? Anybody like that? … It’s a popular vote, that’s what we need to do. Who gets the most votes wins — one vote, one person. No racist math in the equation.” - Rosie O’Donnell in a TikTok video
First of all, I’m not sure how math can be racist. (Nor how the Electoral College can assist math in its insidiously racist pursuits.) Secondly, as anyone with an IQ higher than a pencil knows, President-elect Trump won the popular vote last week - by over three million votes. So it appears that with or without the assistance of racist math, Donald J. Trump will be our next president.
In light of these glorious nuggets of wisdom from the Lunatic Left, I am reminded of a famous quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”
