It's becoming more obvious that Democrats have a very low opinion of Americans. Not only do they accuse us of being racist, bigoted, xenophobic, homophobic, etc. etc., they also think we are basically children. Now, in fairness, some Democrat voters do frequently behave like children, complete with demanding that Daddy government take care of them and having temper tantrums when they don't get their way.
But for most of us, we're adults, and we expect to be treated like adults.
James Talarico has a different view for America, though. He wants to run the country like a giant kindergarten classroom. That's what he thinks of us: we're all overgrown five-year-olds.
Talarico: "What if we ran our world like we run a kindergarten classroom? Because at the end of the day, aren't we all just really big kindergartners?"

He’s just so … soft. I hate it. pic.twitter.com/XWYMapGLbx
"What if we ran our world like we run a kindergarten classroom? Because at the end of the day, aren't we all just really big kindergarteners?" Talarico said.
That's so creepy.
What else happens in kindergarten rooms? Your day is dictated to you by the teacher, including when you take a nap, eat, and go to the bathroom. We all have to line up and hold hands to walk down the hallways and conformity to rules is expected.
What a grim vision.
We know that Democrats want to run our lives from cradle (if they allow us to be born) to grave (after they euthanize us), but this is insane.
oh so like...a nanny state?

Literally a nanny state.
No one who views the world as a big kindergarten classroom should ever be put in charge of anything important.

Exactly this. Talarico shouldn't run the local HOA, let alone be in the Senate.
Also, haven’t we been trying this?

And it's worked so well.
Not.
He's the prototype of the feminized male which is why he wants to play around in a nursery school as an adult. Contemporary Leftists are infantile-regressed psychically. This explains their narcissism & self-delusion.

Bingo.
No. No we’re not just big kindergartners.

This is some creepy stuff.
And in Texas? Guys. C’mon. https://t.co/S0X0f7z8f8
He said the quiet part out loud.
Appropriate messaging for a proponent of the Nanny State, but does this actually appeal to ANYONE?

It’s so patronizing. https://t.co/E4USUAzujV
There are some voters, namely Democrat women, who will lap this up.
"See? Talarico cares about us!"
The rest of us should see this for what it is: a creepy endorsement of a full-blown nanny state, where guys like Talarico tell us how to run our lives and treat us like perpetual children.
