Democrat Dystopia

It must be very depressing to be a Democrat. To the lefties, America is mostly comprised of hopelessly racist losers; we're almost beyond repair. We're also selfish and greedy, since most of us actually believe that our hard work should be rewarded with material success and that we are entitled to keep what we've earned. We're stupid, too, since Donald Trump was voted president despite the obvious (to them) superiority of left-wing ideology.

It's enough to make you wonder why they stay here among all the irredeemable deplorables that populate the United States. But of course, they intend to "fix" us--and our wishes on that subject be damned.

I'm fortunate enough not to have watched a single second of the just-concluded Democratic Convention. But I've seen and heard the clips, and that was more than enough. To hear the bitter, whiny, hypocritical speeches spouting from the endless parade of joyless speakers was excruciating, even in brief formats. From what I've heard, Joe Biden was able to deliver a halfway decent acceptance speech (although I wonder how many takes it took to videotape). But we have no details on what awaits us beyond a Democratic victory come November. Iron-fisted control of COVID-19 was flayed to death, but is that the Democrats' four-year strategic plan? There was not a single whisper of the ongoing riots and destruction gripping US cities, the efforts to defund police departments, the damage that Antifa and BLM groups are inflicting upon the nation.

Along with the 2016 election, Democrats lost their minds. Recently we had Nancy Pelosi marching around the Capitol building, ordering "racist" statues that have stood there for a century to be hauled off into oblivion. But if the corner mailbox gets removed, she calls an emergency session of Congress to avert the end of the republic. It's lunacy.

I really don't need the Democrats to specify their plans, because I live in California. I know exactly what's coming nationwide if Joe Biden wins. There will be an endless flood of regulations that will drown any chance of businesses raising themselves above water. And I know all about "green" deals. Electricity will fast become a luxury item. Rolling brownouts are a daily occurrence here in August; it's like living in a third world country. My most expensive electricity rates are during the hours 4:00-to-9:00PM. When do you need air conditioning on a 100-degree day? You begin to see my point.

There's a buffet of tax increases on this year's California state ballot that will, as usual, be disguised in convoluted prose to purposefully confuse voters into accidentally approving them. There's the "wealth tax" measure and, especially chilling, the attempt to dismantle Prop 13, California's property tax limitations. It costs money to shore up bankrupt pensions and to build all those housing projects for the homeless, you see. Get ready for similar tax hikes under a Biden presidency; he's actually promised them.

California has a Democrat governor, a veto-proof Democrat-controlled legislature, and Democrat mayors in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and many other key cities. I know exactly what happens when Democrats are in charge. As previously mentioned, they are bitter, whiny hypocrites. Misery loves company, and because the depressing Democrats run California, the havoc they intend to wreak knows no bounds. I'd hate to see it happen on a national level.
