I know, I know – Donald Trump has been no saint in his personal life. I’ve never really cared – as I’ve repeated for years, I was voting for president, not Pope (though, given how this Pope is on the border, I’d vote for Trump there too). But Democrats would not let it go. “He’s a cheater!” The party of every Kennedy until 5 months ago screamed as though no one remembered anything about history. “He’s been accused of rape!” voices screamed from the wagons still circled around Bill Clinton and his enabler Hillary. One thing is certain: the old adage is true: Democrats are always guilty of what they accuse Republicans of doing.
You’d think Bernie Sanders used to wake up in cold sweat, screaming “Millionaires and billionaires” at the top of his lungs. I put that in the past tense because the socialist I’ve ever heard of being kicked out of a hippie commune for laziness is now a multi-millionaire, thanks to capitalism.
He became rich while working as a “public servant.” How? He used his position and the fame of being a radical, anti-American left-winger who wanted to destroy the capitalist system to sell a lot of books. There’s really nothing he’s done to get rich he wouldn’t like to eliminate. He’d still be rich if he got his way, but he’d be rich in the way totalitarian dictators always get rich: by directly ripping off the people, not through ripping them off with poor-quality books.
But Bernie isn’t unique. Sandy Cortez became Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez late in life because she needed to show more of her ethnicity to distract from her stupidity. She went to Boston University and allegedly graduated with honors with a degree in economics, which is a brochure in and of itself to make sure your kid never even considers BU.
The genius spends her time making a fool of herself on social media, doing literally nothing to help any of her constituents attain independence from government. They vote for it, so if someone wants to be a serf, let them. The world needs ditch-diggers too.
But you don’t elect the people forcing you down that path to office.
Another “poor” anti-capitalist, AOC, lives in a very expensive and exclusive building in DC and bought herself a Tesla back when they were expensive. Now, she hates Elon Musk and regrets the purchase. The pro-union doofus didn’t care that non-union workers made the car; she’s mad Musk is trying to root out government waste. Given all of this, she regularly whines that Musk is dumb. Her fancy apartment must not have any reflective surfaces.
Democrats call Trump corrupt – getting rich off the government, even though he was rich long before going into government and wanted for nothing – even though they’ve gotten rich off the government. Bernie aside, do you really think Nancy Pelosi and her husband are THAT GOOD at playing the stock market? They call him every name in the book, while people like AOC need help reading a coloring book and finding ways to rake in the cash and hobnob with the world’s richest people at places like the Met Gala.
Now we have Connecticut’s Chris Murphy. The bowl-hairdo-wearing moral preacher just left his wife for another woman. His wife was his age – in their 50s – and his new woman was in her 30s. I have nothing against that, but what happened to all the moralizing about everything? If Donald Trump is immoral because he’s been married a couple of times, what is a Senator who leaves his family for a wealthy, much younger activist upgrade?
Tell me again about how Donald Trump’s marital issues bother you to the point that you couldn’t bring yourself ever to support him.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Are all Republicans the most moral people you’d love to date your sister or daughter? Of course not. Are there any Democrats? Hell no. The difference is Democrats insist that Republicans not being perfect is a reason to vote against them and ignore their own shortcomings. It’s not hypocrisy – having one set of standards for everyone else and another for yourself – this is beyond that. Democrats have floating standards for other people and literally zero standards for themselves. They can’t be hypocrites when you aren’t subject to standards to contradict.
Of course, this is only an issue if you’re an awful person, and awful people are the very core of who Democrats are.
