The More Disturbing the Dirt, the Better Democrats Like Their Dirtbags

Townhall 

Am I shocked by the myriad scandals of Graham Platner, the cosplay workin’ man running for the Democrat nomination for Maine senator, a guy with more baggage than the third wife of a Middle Eastern emir? Absolutely not. Sure, he has a Nazi tattoo and a history of training Antifa terrorists – who of course don’t exist because Antifa isn’t a thing, even though he seems to think it is. Platner also has some controversial critiques regarding African American tipping habits; regardless, here’s another tip—bet that if he gets nominated, he still wins the votes of all the black people in Maine, both of them. The party poobahs are scared because he’s a nut who’ll likely lose in the general, and they’ve dropped a bunch of other revelations obtained in what had to be the world’s easiest opposition research gig, but none of that matters. What matters is that he really, really hates Donald Trump, and that’s enough for his party’s base. He’s their man, polling at 58 percent in the primary, and I am whatever the opposite of being surprised is.

The Democrats are having some serious candidate selection problems, but their solution is to march ahead with whatever psychopath they’ve anointed, regardless. They’re going to keep doing it because it’s working, at least in blue areas. In a few weeks, we’re going to have a mayor of New York City who is both a communist and a jihadist. The other day, he had a meet and greet with an unindicted co-conspirator from the first World Trade Center bombing. Oh well, who cares? Free buses and take that Trump! All the bad stuff that’s come out about him makes them like him even more.

How about Jay Jones, the guy running for chief law-enforcement officer of the Commonwealth of Virginia, who wants to murder Republicans and watch their children die? Oh, and he might be indicted himself for scamming his way out of his community service sentence, which he received as a sweetheart deal after being caught driving 116 mph. He’s still competitive in his race – in fact, I bet he gets into office on the votes of people who stick “Hate Has No Home Here” signs in their front yards. I guess hate does have a home there.

And it’s not like he apologized. It’s not like he changed. He – and Democrats in general – think the big problem with his bizarrely onanistic murder fantasies is that he got caught; he’s like a teenage girl mad that her parents found out she was smoking dope by reading her diary. His entire explanation seems to consist of “Well, yeah, I said those things, but, you know, Trump.” And the Democrats are buying it. “Sure, he may be a homicidal sociopath with a proven track record of corruption, but he’s our homicidal sociopath with a proven track record of corruption, and he really hates Donald Trump!”

Hey, I guess Democrats can’t paint anyone all black if they detest the Bad Orange Man enough. To the Democrats, these aren’t bad things. These are reasons to vote for him.

This phenomenon means creepy candidates in blue areas winning office, but in purple places, normal people are going to be disgusted. The freaky weirdos might be able to win the nomination, but they will have problems in the general with normal people who don’t see these problems as a net plus, like the left does.

Graham Platner, the worst former Marine since Lee Harvey Oswald (whose politics and love of political violence he shares), is running against Susan Collins, the luckiest woman in the universe. She’s a Republican who’s been elected to the Senate from the state of Maine again and again, and she seems to have this uncanny ability to draw the very worst possible opponents. The nomination is not a shoo-in for Platner, even though he has the support of such luminaries as Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the rest of the Commie Cadre Caucus. No, Chuck Schumer – the master of the barbecue grill – has convinced Maine governor Janet Mills to run. Maybe he bribed her with Geritol; she is pushing 113 years old. So, it’s basically the communist against the crustacean.

It’s fun to laugh at the Democrats and how they are picking certifiable sociopaths who you wouldn’t want to make a sudden move around. They are also tripping over their own garbage narratives. The Dems were making enormous hay out of a bunch of thicc Republican incels who made lame Hitler jokes on their text chain, holding this up as proof positive that every single Republican sincerely aspires to uphold the principles of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, aka the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Then this rich guy’s son, who’s been larping as a hicklib straight outta “Yellowstone,” gets bombed and dances to Miley Cyrus in his undies on video, revealing his Nazi tattoo. This blows the REPUBLICANS ARE NAZIS!!! theme right out of the water, at least for normal people.

But not for the Democrats. They don’t care. If only we could harness the energy from the centripetal force (or is it centrifugal –hey, I went to a unionized public school) generated from the 180° U-turn by the people who last week wailed HITLER! HITLER! HITLER! and this week, are explaining that getting Fuhrer-friendly ink on your pecs doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi. Why, who doesn’t have a totenkopf etched into his epidermis? A skull and crossbones tattoo could happen to anybody, unless they have ever watched a World War II movie. Maybe it’s just his way of raising awareness of osteoporosis.

Herr Platner’s current excuse is that it was all a big mistake, that he didn’t know what the symbol he paid money to have drawn on his body, and has worn for 20 years, was. What he is really saying is that “No, I’m not a Nazi, I’m just an idiot. I’m a borderline clinical moron who had a guy permanently mark me with a symbol that I neither knew nor understood. I am smart, and if this Senate thing doesn’t work out, I can always go work at MIT as a particle physicist.”

Now, we conservatives understand that Democrats don’t believe in anything. They don’t care if Platner is an idiot, and they don’t care if he’s a Nazi. They certainly don’t care if he’s a communist, which he also admitted to being. All they want is power, and what drives them is a hatred of Trump. The reason they hate Trump –as well as us – is simple. We deny them the respect, obedience, and power they crave. They’re mad at us because we won’t give in and let them run our lives. We tell them “No,” and if their parents had done the same, they wouldn’t be Democrats to begin with.

So, we’re not shocked. We don’t expect any better of them. Accusations of hypocrisy, while useful for instructing normals, are a waste of our time. You can’t call them “hypocrites” because if you’re a hypocrite, you actually have to believe in the principle you’re violating. They believe in nothing. They’ll say “Nazi’s are bad” today, and that “Nazis are no biggie” tomorrow, and it doesn’t matter to them. All that matters is that they win while expressing their hatred for Donald Trump and those of us who deny them the power they believe they hold by divine right.

More troubling is the fact that it’s not merely happening on the fringe of the Party. The Party is nothing but fringe. There is no left wing of the Democrat Party; there’s just the Democrat Party. Even an alleged moderate, like Abigail Spanberger (D- Stepford), can’t bring herself to disendorse her homicidal ticket mate. She’s a radical who thinks male sex offenders should walk around waving their junk in kids’ locker rooms, and that you should be able to perform an abortion up until birth, when, presumably, Jay Jones will take over responsibility for killing the kid.

This is a real problem for the Democrats, but also for America. You have the Republican Party, and you have a bunch of murderous lunatics calling themselves a political party, and it’s not clear what we should do about it in the long run. However, it’s clear what we should do about it in the short term. We should get out there and work to make sure that none of these creatures ever gets any kind of power. You people in Virginia, New Jersey, and in every other weird venue that is having an off-year election, put down whatever you are reading this on and go out there and vote for the No Psychopaths Party.
