It is difficult to overstate just how out of touch Democrats are with reality right now. When you’re as unpopular as they are it makes sense – you can’t admit reality, it’s too depressing, so you create a new one in your head. That’s a survival mechanism everyone has employed, to one degree or another, and at some point in their lives for short periods, and it’s perfectly normal. What isn’t normal is how Democrats have constructed this fantasy world and appear to live in it all the time.
I don’t know how you can watch Joe Biden stumble and bumble his way through the State of the Union Address and think he is well. Either he referred to the Ukrainian people as “Iranians” or “Urainians,” with neither option being good because what’s left of his brain didn’t notice whatever it was that came out of his mouth. A normal, healthy person will make mistakes, verbal gaffes, but our brains notice and we correct ourselves almost immediately. That does not happen with Joe Biden. He is so married to the teleprompter and going off script that he pays no attention to the words.
The media, naturally, ignored most of the gaffes because covering for their President is second nature to them. But it wasn’t just what he screwed up saying that was the problem, the parts of the speech he read accurately were just as disturbing.
“One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make people poorer,” Joe said. “I think I have a better idea to fight inflation: lower your costs, not your wages.” This is just one example of something that makes zero sense. None. It was not called out by anyone.
Over on MSNBC, one exchange between Stephanie Ruhle (who doesn’t get the credit she deserves as one of the dumbest people on cable news, probably because of misogyny) and former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, one of the richest Senators when she was in office, really exemplifies how out of touch the left is.
Ruhle started, “Claire, do you think when it comes to the voter, the president and this administration needs to do more talking about those economic wins? You know, because inflation is such a problem, often times it seems like Democrats are afraid to talk about how strong the economy is because they don’t want to be insensitive to people who are left out but the thing is if they do not sell their wins they can’t win in the midterms and then they can’t help anyone.”
This “you don’t know how good you’ve got it” argument is not the stuff successful campaigns are made of. More than that, however, is how Democrats insist their policies “leave no one behind,” except maybe the rich. Except what Democrats advance always benefits their rich donors. People for whom inflation means next to nothing. Ruhle isn’t impacted in any meaningful way by inflation, she’s rich, and McCaskill has a net worth north of $60 million.
McCaskill’s answer was every bit as bad as you’d expect. “This is not complicated,” she started. “The Democrats are very bad at being repetitive and disciplined on message. This president in one year created more jobs than any president in the history of the United States of America, say it over and over and over again. Real wages are up, saving is up yes there is inflation but overall if you don’t remind people how much better it is now than it was before then you leave the field open for the Republicans to distort and not tell the truth like frankly the governor of Iowa did tonight, she distorted the economic record of this president. And he brought down the deficit. So all of this is really important for them to just keep hammering over and over again. they get distracted by wanting to do so much for so many instead of keeping it simple and making sure voters understand who is really in their corner.”
Joe Biden didn’t create a single job, he just happened to be in office when the jobs Democrats shut down were allowed to return. New companies were not formed, nor have they expanded – people laid off were called back to work. No matter how many times that lie is repeated, it will never ring true to the public. We know.
Along those lines, the economy being allowed to reopen leads to increased economic activity, which leads to increased revenue to the government. That is not “cutting the deficit,” especially when your spending is loaded up in the future, an accounting gimmick if there ever was one.
These people live in a different world, a completely strange reality unfamiliar to anyone not currently on hallucinogenic drugs. Maybe we’re secretly being ruled by Hunter Biden?
Liberalism is a mental disorder and should be treated as such.
He must be one of the few that consumes propaganda from CNN and MSNBC. Our conversation morphed several times and each time it exposed how completely opposite we are on issues. We used to be able to talk about sports so he tried to do that. He asked if I watched the Olympics. I said, "you mean the genocide games." He was completely unaware of the human rights abuses by the ChiComs, so I had to explain that to him. I have the distinct impression he is one of the 21% of people that will never change their minds about Democrats and their commie agenda.
Democrats definitely live in a different world. I should also say a lot of Republicans do too.

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) — Some Democrats in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.
The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.
“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”
The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections.
Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.

Mazie Hirono: ‘We Democrats know so much’ that we tend to alienate voters
By Jessica Chasmar The Washington Times, December 5, 2018
Sen. Mazie Hirono suggested that Democrats have a hard time connecting with voters because their breadth of knowledge tends to turn people off.
The Hawaii Democrat made the comment during a discussion at the “Bend Towards Justice” conference in Washington when she was asked by Slate editor Dahlia Lithwick how to make the judicial system a top campaign issue for voters.
“One of the things that we Democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people’s hearts instead of here,” Ms. Hirono responded, pointing at her head, according to a clip flagged by the Republic National Committee. “We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [points to the brain] but not here [points to the heart].”
“I’ve been saying it at all our Senate Democratic retreats we need to speak to the heart, not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody’s fears and resentments, but truly to speak to the heart so that people know that we’re actually on their side,” she continued.
“We have to kind of tell everyone how smart we are, and so we have a tendency to be very left-brain,” the senator added.
Add Ms. Hirono: “We Democrats know so much” it can alienate voters.
His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for such horrible people.
Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .
Biden made one startling declaration after another.
He reviled Americans who disagrees with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.
To somebody as “perfect” as Biden, modern-day Confederates,
racist traitors, closeted supporters of slave-holding president Jefferson Davis can never achiever the perfection Biden and the Democrats have achieved.
No worries. There are enough Democrats in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to outnumber whatever Republicans there are in the rest of the state.
“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,”
Yeah....THEY’RE the victims. 👌
Typical leftist tactic, they start crap and when the right fights back they blame us.......it’s an old trick.
I was talking with the Distribution center General manager at my employer the other day. Between supply chain issues and inflation, the economy is “so strong” he told me he might have to begin layoffs soon.
He was very distressed about it and said it had been many years since they had to reduce headcount.
Enough cemeteries to win any election?
Good catch
Democrats are depraved people living rotten lives mostly by their own choices. They are The Miserables, aka Les Miserables.
Relative by marriage - not an ounce of his blood running through my veins.
Someone told me one time that a Democrat is someone who can spill a glass of red wine on white carpet and tell the homeowner how that nicely highlights the room.
“...but they preferred darkness to the light, because their works were evil.”
Oh, how I wish Democrats lived in a different country if not a different world.
Sure. Why not? Never remove dead people from the rolls. Vote using their names. Works every time.
Bfl
The better feel like they’re on the run.
Their behavior during COVID should never be forgotten and I’m all for beating the horse dead on that alone.
