Mayor Pete’s America- Updated

Pete Buttigieg is seeking the democrat nomination for President of the United States. The more he speaks the more dangerous he appears. He has a number of policy positions that can be positively frightening. He seeks to dismantle America one piece at a time.

Buttigieg would erase Thomas Jefferson from history:

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Friday that things named after President Thomas Jefferson should be renamed because that’s the “right thing to do.”

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who became the rising star of the 2020 Democratic primary, echoed the far-left calls to rename buildings or events that carry the names of prominent U.S. figures on the grounds that they were owners of slaves. The mayor was asked during "The Hugh Hewitt Show" on radio whether the name of the annual Indiana Democratic dinner, named the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, should be renamed as both presidents were holders of slaves.

“Yeah, we're doing that in Indiana. I think it's the right thing to do,” Buttigieg said, according to the Washington Free Beacon. He then offered a tepid defense of the Founding Father while agreeing that events shouldn’t be named after him.

Never mind that Jefferson's words were the bedrock of the philosophy that eventually allowed all in this country to be free.

Buttigieg favors reparations

Regarding racial justice, he proposes that the U.S. “create a commission to propose reparations policies for Black Americans and close the racial wealth gap.” When he appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe back in March, he said he had not seen “a proposal for a cash transfer that people would be able to come together around and view as fair,” although he added that he saw “some kind of accounting for the persistent racial inequities today.” However, in speaking with MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton in April, he did endorse the concept of a commission. His other priorities on racial justice include defending affirmative action and voting rights, addressing inequality in the criminal justice system, and supporting self-determination for indigenous peoples.
None of my ancestors owned slaves.

Buttigieg would do away with the electoral college- which essentially would leave the country completely in the tyrannical control of California and New York

And on the Electoral College, he asserts, “States don’t vote, people vote, and everyone’s vote should count exactly the same.” The best means of abolishing the Electoral College would be a constitutional amendment, but that will take time. In the meantime, he proposes enacting the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement among states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote.
He thinks that Christianity is the same as radical Islam and Wahhabism:

No matter what happens in the Democrat primary, only one thing is for sure. Mayor Pete will come from behind.

You’ve been giving off a “Boss Hogg” vibe lately.

The problem with communism is that elites have massive power...

The problem WE have is OUR ‘elites’ are so stupid they think they’ll be in that small group. Sorry Charlie but useful idiots are the first group murdered.

Thank you! I’ve posted a few times about how stupid Butthead was for calling the USA a democracy. Never got a response, so I started thinking I was wrong.
