Why Vote For Democrats Who Think You’re A Cockroach?

If Democrats call fellow citizens who disagree with them deplorable, cockroaches, and idiots in casual public discourse, what vile criticisms do they ascribe to people in private? What sort of fascistic hell-scape must they create between themselves in their dark councils?

Remember, Goebbels in “The Eternal Jew” compared Jews to rats. 

How has it come to this? Democrats are possessed by a totalitarian spirit — it’s as simple and terrifying as that. It’s the same godless materialism that has given rise to every dehumanizing mass movement of the 20th century. 

Democrats utterly disdain anyone who rejects their utopian vision, anyone who stands in the way of an ineffable “hope and change.” It’s a lie on the order of “Arbeit macht frei,” or “Work makes one free.” Their only weapon is cancel culture and the smear just like Stalinist apparatchiks who branded Russian kulaks as too petit bourgeois. (lower middle class) The 19th century equivalent of being branded a “racist” or “homophobe.” And, D.C. city jails now serve as a gulag of sorts. 

No matter how hard Democrats try to hide their arrogance and elitism, they always fall prey to their arrogance and declare their disdain for “common” and “unsophisticated” people — anyone who refuses to accept the dogmas of transgenderism, equality of outcome, climate change, green energy, or international appeasement. Each one of these infernal tenets has resulted in the pain you feel everyday at your child’s school, your job, at the gas pump, the grocery store, or in the blood and treasure squandered in Afghanistan. 

Take a moment before reading on — look around. Do you see anything but a grey miasma of shared suffering? Whether you recognize it or not, that’s the hallmark of socialist economic policy. And, as the great Margaret Thatcher famously said of socialists like Biden, they could care less if the “poor were poorer, provided that the rich were less rich.” How does your 401K look? Under Biden we’ve all become far less able to afford the basics. It’s breathtaking to see how Biden has managed to create a scarcity of heating oil within the most powerful economy in the world.

It’s Detroit’s story writ large. In the 1950’s, Detroit was the wealthiest city in the world, but under Democrat autocracy, Detroit has become a wasteland of poverty and crime. 

The Democrat proclivity to dehumanize the opposition is a symptom of the totalitarianism that has gripped the party and their ideological disciples. This past weekend, Joe Biden described protestors as idiots who dared suggest that he and his party have fallen under the influence of socialist economic ideology — a statement pregnant with irony coming from a man who struggles to formulate coherent sentences and, often, just a phrase. The word “idiot” is a double edged sword for Joe Biden, more likely as not drawing blood from the hapless, befuddled, occupant of the Oval Office. 

At this point, Joe Biden is about as sophisticated as an infant flailing for his rattle. Perhaps, I’m being too critical of infants, at least they have instinct to provide a sense of direction. Biden is so addled he can’t stagger off a stage on his own. It’s painful and shameful to watch a man disintegrate by degrees in front of a global audience. And, our adversaries are exploiting Biden’s weakness. By his own admission, we are closer to nuclear “Armageddon” than ever before. This is what Democrats have wrought. 

At least Obama was smart enough to lure the American people with an innocuous slogan. But, Democrats have given up, in their desperation, on subtlety. And, prominent Democrats like The View’s Sunny Hostin boldly label “white Republican suburban women” as roaches. Hostin is a bigot and worse. She categorized a substantial swath of American voters as “untermenschen,” or “subhuman.” This kind of rhetoric is indicative of the worst tyrannies the world has ever known, and the danger inherent in this kind of rhetoric cannot be understated or underestimated. If we are to learn anything from history, language that dehumanizes any person or group of people should be met with the strongest public sanctions.

Hostin is a Democrat who spoke out loud what more sophisticated progressives clothe in subtle euphemisms.  

In Hostin’s case, is the comparison with Germany’s National Socialist Party a bit overheated? Not really. Consider the four month 1994 Rwandan genocide which claimed the lives of between 500,000 and 600,000 Africans — the Hutus labeled the Tutsis as cockroaches. Any effort designed to dehumanize members of an opposition party, whether it’s from a vapid bigot like Hostin, from a failing, would-be demigod like Joe Biden, or even from a pathetic, grasping crow like Hillary Clinton should be seen for what it is — the first steps toward cruelty and genocide. 

You have the opportunity today to cast a ballot. When you stand in that booth and consider your choices, remember what Democrats have done in the last two years. Consider their installation and rabid support of “transgender” groomers who lurk the halls of our public schools. 

Remember their persecution of parents who dared to stand in defiance of the abuse of their children by degenerate school boards. Consider the smothering effect of an outlaw Department of Justice and a complicit FBI. 

Think about Biden’s latest statement on energy, demanding “no more drilling,” just a few days after pandering to Pennsylvanians and calling for more drilling — are skyrocketing fuel prices, which drain your savings, just a rhetorical device meant to bedazzle gullible voters into granting power to the utterly corrupt?

Cast your precious vote wisely and empower the truth-tellers. The Republican party certainly isn’t perfect, but it’s the only real choice when the opposition is totalitarian, bigoted, corrupt, and utterly incompetent.
