I Can’t Stand These Democrats, Part 4
Democrats are really big in the “has-been” community out in Hollywood. It’s kind of telling that the “celebrities” most vocal in their support of their agenda haven’t had a hit in the lifetime of the first-time voters, but you have to take what you can get, I guess. And what Democrats can get is Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Robert DeNiro, and their contemporaries – “stars” people need to explain to them why they’re stars. That brings us to this week's Democratic Party shill: Martin Sheen.
Honestly, Martin Sheen? Yep.
Why Martin Sheen? It’s pretty simple, really.
First, Democratic Party donors are old, so Martin Sheen resonates with them.
Second, as long as there is a single cast member left alive from “The West Wing,” Democrats will fantasize about it. While that show was fairly boring, and nothing at all like how politics really is, Democrats have dreams about how smart they are and they think that show was smart.
Hilariously, it’s what they imagine the Clinton White House was like – a bunch of people who have all the answers and know exactly what to say at every moment. It’s what they imagine they are like.
The reality is none of them have a clue about how the government works, they dream that there’s always a government answer and it works. But as long as they suffer that delusion, anyone from that show will cause dumb people to dip into their wallets and subsidize multimillionaires playing make-believe with our lives.
Since March 31st, Democrats have sent out 9 emails from Martin Sheen, with an additional 3 emails from others asking if I’d seen the emails from Sheen.
Of the emails, 5 came with the subject line, “A message from me.” They all open with, “My name is Martin Sheen, though you may remember me as President Bartlet from The West Wing.” Each of them, all the time.
They are then followed by an email with the subject line, “re: if you have a minute,” like you’d emailed Sheen back and he was now responding. “It's Martin Sheen. As a former ‘acting’ president of the United States, I’d like to talk about what your support could mean for the country you and I both love.”
With all those emails, Democrats couldn’t even bother coming up with something original for each, they just recycled everything.
They are just right to the chase, “But if you only have a minute, all I'll ask is that you donate $5 (matched to become $15) to help defend our Senate majority and make a difference for our real president's Democratic agenda,” they say in paragraph 2.
Paragraph 3 reads, “I've said before that acting is what I do for a living, but activism is what I do to stay alive. $5 may not sound like a lot, but I've seen time and time again that each of us pitching in a little will make a BIG difference together -- and right now, my friends at the DSCC need that exact kind of help from Democrats like us.”
Sheen has an estimated net worth of $60 million asking for money from people on fixed incomes with the promise that somehow voting for people who’ve done nothing for them their whole lives will suddenly become a worthwhile endeavor.
“Here's why: Republicans are just two seats away from retaking the Senate, and they're willing to spend millions to erase our razor-thin Democratic majority. The future of our country could be decided by critical races in battleground states like Nevada, Ohio, or Pennsylvania,” Sheen continues. The problem is he’s right, but only in one way. If Republicans win, your life will likely be whatever you make of it, or at least have a better shot at being like that. If Democrats win, they will continue to force their will on people the way Joe Biden forced his way on low-level staffers. That’s how Democrats roll.
He concludes his begging with, “We can't leave anything to chance. Everything from health care to climate change is on the ballot and Democrats simply can't win without your support to out-raise, out-organize, and out-campaign the Republicans. This request is so important that for a limited time, a group of donors will personally triple your gift. So please, Derek, join me by rushing $5 (becomes $15) to defend our Democratic Senate majority and keep moving America forward.”
That request is so important that each and every time he’s made it they’ve broken out the magic unicorn that eats one $5 bill and poops out three of them. That’s how you tell they’re serious.
After Martin Sheen, I’m not sure where they go. Ed Begley Jr. likely supports RFK and no one would know who Ron Perlman is, and any other leftist has-been’s name escapes me right now. But they’ll be rich too, and they’ll be just as out-of-touch because, for reasons unknown to me, that appeals to Democrats. It appeals to something in them that does not hit normal people, and why we need to beat them because what appeals to them is not only stupid, but underneath it is dangerous.
