The Dems: 'When Will They Ever Learn?'

Democrats seem unable or unwilling to learn that We No Longer Trust Them.

In 1955, Pete Seeger released the iconic song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," which railed against the Vietnam War. A line frequently reprised in the song resonates with today's Democrat party: "When will they ever learn?"

Progressive Democrats are currently in positions of authority in the White House, halls of Congress, federal agencies, school systems, large corporations, and the legacy media. Using a fabricated COVID crisis as a bludgeon, progressives justified an unconstitutional power-grab with statements we know were and are lies. Nonetheless, they expect Americans to continue accepting their anti-scientific advisories, coercive activities, and unlawful orders (mandates) meekly, even gratefully. After all, that is what happened in 2021.

Democrats seem unable or unwilling to learn that We No Longer Trust Them. The public has learned that they are flimflam con artists. What have Democrats learned? Apparently, nothing.

A recently reported action by the CDC exemplifies Democrat failure to learn. The CDC is the ex-trustworthy agency that falsified COVID data; altered its definitions, predictions, and pandemic metrics; and issued contradictory, non-medical recommendations.

"When will they ever learn" — the CDC, that is — that their behavior destroyed their credibility with the public? Evidently never, as now the CDC wants to create a permanent crisis response to COVID wherever it might be detected, with a return to masking and lockdowns. Americans have learned, but, apparently, the CDC has not: "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

Proliferation.

Here’s the definition, I think you have the word confused with something else.

It means the rapid increase and that’s what the song was about the rapid growth of the nuclear arsenal’s of major players in the world at that time

1 : to grow by rapid production of new parts, cells, buds, or offspring. 2 : to increase in number as if by proliferating : multiply. transitive verb. 1 : to cause to grow by proliferating.

[Jim Noble]

In 1955 there were 3 nuclear powers - US and UK, 1945, and USSR 1949.

That was it and there was no substantial discussion of proliferation, even after France joined in 1960. When China exploded a bomb in 1965 and Israel stole the US plutonium in 1967, the issue of proliferation became an issue.

That’s a pretty good description of a lot of democrats - paranoid, bug eyed mask wearers!!
