Democrat Contradictions in Words and Deeds
John Shoemaker
Democrats/Socialists cry about increased prices and affordability, YET they supported CAFÉ Standards for Autos (forcing acceptance of EVs and increasing the war on gas/fossil fuels). This resulted in: Biden's burdensome regulations have caused the price of new cars to soar more than 25%, and in one case, they went up 18% in one year."
Democrats/Socialists cry about the affordability of grocery prices, YET plan to have government-operated grocery stores. This is a proven failed approach that will make food even scarcer.
Democrats complain about jobs, YET they have increased the number of illegal aliens by tens of millions, collecting billions of dollars in benefits while taking available jobs away from Americans. If you don’t think that is a problem, how about the continued “offshoring” of manufacturing to countries like China? The balance of trade has witnessed a new all-time record: China just surpassed $1 trillion in annual trade surplus. Democrats also like having the welfare rolls balloon with dependents on the government, which gives them more control over their lives.
Democrats want to fight the war in Ukraine against a nuclear power, Russia, YET they are aghast at the war on “Narco terrorists”. They can kill Americans abroad who are working with enemies, as Obama did in Africa, but when Trump blows up Narco boats in the Caribbean, Democrats cry foul. Democratic Congressmen (of all people) actually say openly that cartel members driving boats carrying cocaine from South America are not hurting Americans. They cry about a double-tap on a Narco boat saying it is illegal, but do we remember we did a double-tap on Japan with nuclear bombs?
Democrats/Socialists defend drug pushers and cartels, even visiting gang bangers and human traffickers in their prisons, YET they do not have a plan to stop over 50,000+ fentanyl deaths a year, which has been continuous for several years. As they speak out of both sides of their mouth, they want to prevent drug deaths yet are against killing drug runners carrying fentanyl and cocaine, which ends up killing innocent Americans.
Democrats/Socialists are defending criminals, including drug runners, illegals, rapists, and gang bangers, YET they see no downside to the victims of crime and ignore their rights. In New York, the Sanctuary city released 7,000 prisoners early, even as they include every type of criminal, including murderers.
Democrats support the Teachers’ Union, YET the decline in grades and academic performance of schools all across America has declined precipitously. They oppose Charter Schools, which have proven to perform better than public education.
Democrats believe there are multiple sexes and sex identities, LGBTQ123, and ignore the biological science of male and female, YET for years they promoted hoaxes supposedly supported by science to include a vaccine that was not a vaccine, masks to prevent infection, climate change, EVs/Solar/Wind can replace fossil fuels, and so much more.
Democrats/Socialists have the Blue State of California bragging that its Governor Newsom is a candidate for President, YET his track record is abysmal with creating a State with the highest unemployment, rate of poverty, homelessness, crime rates, cost of living, gas prices, and home prices in AMERICA, plus the ideologies of DEI, Woke, and Climate Change initiatives wasting Billions. On top of all that, the incompetence of spending billions on multiple projects, then terminating them as failed efforts, results in inconceivable waste, fraud, and abuse. Also, there are Newsom’s incredible mistakes in managing forest fires, the Palisades and other cities were wiped out by fires, and the electrical grid is in disarray. We also see that happening in Minnesota, with billions wasted on various social programs that were sources of theft by Muslims.
Democrats had a War on Fossil Fuels, YET had no answer to replace coal, natural gas, hydro dams, oil, and nuclear plants except solar and wind. That resulted in a spike in electricity costs, skyrocketing across northern states. Don’t believe it? Check out what is happening in New England – Governors who stopped natural gas lines and did so much damage in their war on energy/fossil fuels.
Democrats/Socialists are enthusiastic supporters of DEI, Woke, GenderID, and are anti-VoterID, YET they ignore the consequences of advancing those who are not qualified, which fosters incompetence in job performance. They do not accept the principles of meritocracy, which reward success based on merit.
Democrats/Socialists pushed hard to establish Obamacare, which would allow citizens who like their doctor to keep their doctor, lower costs, and be the solution for all Americans. Yet, none of the promises were true, the costs are spiking high, and in a total breakdown, the model has resulted in a terrible solution for healthcare.
Democrats have demanded adherence to Climate Change initiatives based on science, YET scientists and other organizations not paid for making selective studies are now saying that Climate Change is not supported by science and even considered a hoax.
Democrats/Socialists want adequate housing for everyone, especially the disadvantaged, so they want people in apartments but not as homeowners, YET they promote rent control, which has always proven to lower apartment quality and availability when landlords have no way to finance lower rent prices.
Democrats/Socialists ignore the size of their debt YET expect the Federal Government to pick up the tab for their terrible financial management. At the same time, they will raise income and real estate taxes, raise minimum wages, and generally impose more restrictions/regulations on businesses and workers, inevitably forcing them to leave or go bankrupt.
Democrats/Socialists will have the homeless live in tents on the streets, YET do not talk about ways to increase home ownership. They prefer renting over ownership. Fundamentally, ownership supports independence, which runs in the face of socialist intentions.
Democrats/Socialists will routinely devise scare programs to gain attention, like Climate Change, YET finally scientists admit the whole thing was just another scam, like the Oil Crisis, the return of the Ice Age, the Ozone Hole, Y2K, Open Borders, and more.
Democrats/Socialists are the piped pipers who will lead people over the edge of the cliff, as has happened in many countries around the world.
History ignored is doomed to be repeated. The results are ugly, long-lasting, and chaotic.
In worst-case scenarios, loss of freedom, dictatorship, and poverty destroy health, happiness, and hope.
