Your Betters For Biden
Article by Kurt Schlichter in "Townhall":
We’re going to see a nearly endless line of nominally Republican Establishment hacks you had long forgotten about announcing that they are voting for Grandpa Badfinger this fall, and the idea is that this will freak out us squares and make us all rethink our support for Donald Trump. What it should do is make us all rethink how we ever got to the point where we once supported the gooey likes of Carly Fiorina and the rest of the dilettantes and cruise ship cons in the first place.
No, we don’t play that anymore. We got woke, the kind of woke you get putting your hand on a hot stove – that image kind of sums up how we actual conservatives feel after decades of supporting losers whose astonishing record of failure is equaled in magnitude by their astonishing self-regard. The best and brightest are neither.
Once upon a time, when I believed in the fairy tale that is Conservative, Inc., I supported Carly Fiorina. She was running in California and was not a Democrat, and I would have supported a talking chancre sore over a California Democrat. At least in the case of a herpetic lesion, getting it might have at least been a little fun; getting the kind of dopey rich Republican losers we tried to use to plug the holes in the dike keeping out communism in the Golden State was no fun at all. Remember Michael Huffington (Mr. Arianna), Meg “I had an illegal alien housekeeper” Whitman and Arnold “Well, I impregnated my housekeeper” Schwarzenegger? “Successful business person” Fiorina was just another of these pseudo-con Crassuses – she looked at the election landscape and thought “I guess today I’ll be… Republican. That way, I don’t actually have to have any political experience – I can just write checks.” And they would inevitably lose like at Carrahae.
Like black hole-level, empty walking hairstyle Mitt Romney – father of his Miracle Whip jar of sons Trik, Tagg, Tubb, Tobb, Nimm, Stimm, Muffo, Puffo, Peaches, and Herb – Carly Fiorina encapsulated everything wrong with the old Republican Party. It was the Party of Tax Cuts and Wars, neither of which is necessarily inherently bad (some tax cuts and some wars are groovy) unless those are the only things the party stands for – and for the former GOP, they were. The couture cons like Fiorina thought arguing about abortion was tacky – “That’s something only those Jesus people do,” the swells would sniff – and when our gun, religion, and speech rights were threatened, we were told that our betters didn’t do messy “social issues.”
And they certainly did not do economic issues, at least not on our behalf. If you were a big corporation, they loved you; if you were a small businessperson or a hardworking member of the working class, you were out of luck. And the big corps were busy moving solidly into the Dem column while the GOP geniuses were ignoring the people who made up our party’s base. That’s dumb if you even pretend to care about conservatism.
Now, these are the people we are supposed to see glom onto Biden and think, “Gee, if these serious, accomplished individuals are siding with that gibbering old pervert, perhaps I should likewise pledge my allegiance to that basement-lurking dementite.” And we are assured these are all the best people. You’ll see generals assure us that the guy playing and (losing at) tag with the squirrels in his backyard is the guy we should entrust with the nuclear codes, and our response should be to wonder why, if these generals are so competent, that after 20 years not a single one of them would dare walk around alone outside a Kabul Army base. You’ll see elderly journalists who got canned for fraud resuscitated to instruct us on the immorality of supporting Trump. You’ll see movie stars and politicians and professors and the very cream of the crop of our crappy institutions beseeching us not to exile them from power yet again. They’re all losers. The fact that the likes of Fiorina, Whitman, Romney and Governor Muscles Der Helphammerer are siding with Biden reinforces that we must never fall for their scam again.
