Observing the incredible floundering taking place in government sparked a memory of an interchange with a friend about a year ago.  On Saturday, October 3^rd, 2020, one month before the past election, I received an email from a close friend and lifelong Democrat having trouble in the realization of what his party had become. Having significant concerns and doubts regarding Biden, he was seriously considering sitting the election out.  

Here’s what he wrote to me:  “I think Trump is crooked and not honest. His communication was disgusting.  His Vice president may be the best of the four, but he will never qualify or have an opportunity. They could vomit on the other candidate.  I have never had thoughts like this.

“There is also a real problem between Democrats and Republicans which I think is another problem.  I have no positive vision.”

Here’s what I wrote back: “I certainly can’t disagree with your conclusion that Trump may be dishonest. It’s also quite likely that all politicians are criminal to some degree, most of them worthless parasites as well. However, in a presidential election we only get two real choices, one of which will wind up effectively heading the country. And this time around there’s far more at stake than which crook attains the White House, the nation’s political philosophies in play as well.

“Should the Democrats somehow win, the door’s wide open to socialism, wealth redistribution, reparations, economy strangling tax reform, rejoining the ridiculous and unaffordable Paris climate accord, resurrecting Iran as a super power, isolating Israel once more, shutting off U.S. oil production along with a return to dependence on Middle-Eastern providers doubling or tripling costs of fuel, packing the Supreme Court to prevent conservative justices forevermore, along with elimination of the Electoral College insuring that major Democrat sanctuary states/cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Detroit et al take electoral control well into the foreseeable future.

“Additionally, open borders will permit all who choose unbridled entrance while all illegal aliens will be granted free health care, education, decriminalization of border crossings, moratoriums on deportations to pressure Congress to act on immigration legislation and the elimination of expedited removal proceedings.

"While these are highlights to considerably more removal of the vestiges of capitalism, another personal suspicion exists whereas its very likely that considerable numbers of personal income-producing voters are presently unaware of the span of leftist ideology and its true impact on their after-tax earnings. Which means that when they find out the ultimate personal costs while observing government ridiculously redistribute their hard-earned incomes, the very strong possibility of some kind of nation-destroying civil war truly exists.

"As a result, I strongly suggest, that considering what very well may happen should the Democrats win, you find a way to temporarily ignore Trump’s personal traits as you enter the voting booth, pull the Republican levers and do what’s best for your country, and certainly yourself, under the current circumstances.”

Now here’s today’s point. While all of the above was glaringly obvious to anyone paying the slightest attention at all to last time’s electoral choices, a year’s now gone past. And during that time most of what was predicted has come to pass. Which makes one truly wonder what kind of self-hating delusional voter would have pulled the lever inflicting that kind of lunatic damage upon themselves.

 That’s it for today folks.
