Democrats and their fellow travelers are getting truly desperate at this point, with all the polls and the momentum pointing to a GOP win of the House in the midterms–and likely, the Senate as well. That’s even before any mention of them losing a host of other seats across the country.
So, what have they been doing? Resorting to claiming that Republicans are a “threat to democracy.” They’re bordering on hysterical at this point. We wrote earlier about Hillary Clinton’s crazy rant on the subject–that was fact-free and attacked the Constitution by going after the Electoral College. Then, there was this little piece of contradictory lunacy from “conservative” Max Boot.
“If the current trends hold up, Republicans are likely to take over at least the House and quite possibly the Senate, too, along with many state offices,” Boot frets. “This is how democracies die, both at home and abroad.”
Wait, I’m confused. A democratic vote is how “democracies die”? Translation: Anything that means Democrats can’t hold onto power equals a “threat to democracy.” Who’s the “fascist” here?
Chris Rufo and Elon Musk thought Boot’s take was hilarious.
Voting to kick out the people we think have failed us is the very essence of “democracy” and our Constitutional Republic.
But as nutty as those takes from Boot and Clinton were, the crown for the nutty take may just go to former Bush-Cheney Republican strategist–now a Democrat shill–Matthew Dowd. Why are the worst ones the establishment’s former Republican hacks? Dowd decided to see if he could combine the talking points with inflation, the top issue about which Americans are concerned. Add in MSNBC Joy Reid talking about Republicans being fascists, and it did not go well.
“I’m not going to say that the GOP are Nazis … but it certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany, which is a bunch of citizens, Adolf Hitler gets a third of the vote … they went along because he said he would solve the economy & fix inflation.” The stupidity of this is hard to fathom, but there was Reid just nodding furiously in response. So, MSNBC is countenancing this attack on Americans.
First, Dowd breaks Godwin’s Rule — never compare anything to Hitler or Nazis, because you always end up looking like a fool. ‘I’m not saying they’re Nazis, I’m just saying they’re Nazis’ is such a boring take, at this point.
How are Republicans “Nazis”? Because they care about the economy and inflation like most of America? How silly do you look when you make arguments like this, that voting to stop inflation is being a Nazi? Hitler drank water, so if you drink water, you’re a Nazi too! But Americans are tired of this nonsense–when Democrats don’t care about the issues they care about, but instead push this divisive malarkey.
Is Dowd saying Democrats don’t care about the economy and inflation with this? Because if you care, you’re a Nazi. Biden passed the “Inflation Reduction Act.” So, does that mean he’s a Nazi? Or does he get a bye, because it was a lie and doesn’t truly reduce inflation?
On top of all that, Dowd is wrong historically as well, since Germany’s hyperinflation had been addressed by the time Hitler came to power; they were dealing more with depression at that point.
The Democrats can’t run on their wretched record, so all they can do is push division. This is what they think of you. But Americans have had enough of it.
