1. For those wondering about the cancellation of the military parade, Trump's tweet today is very informative and the whole thing can be explained using my First Rule when it comes to understanding Dems/socialist/Marxists.
First rule: LEFTISTS ARE NOT CAPITALISTS
First rule: LEFTISTS ARE NOT CAPITALISTS
2. The leftists that control the city of DC just sacrificed possibly 100's of millions in economic activity for a talking point. You see from a leftist POV it's a win-win for them to drive up the costs of the parade, instead of trying to get it for the lowest cost.
3. If the fed gov pays their extortion, the left will have a talking point of how much taxpayer money Trump's parade costs. If the fed gov doesn't pay, they don't have a military parade (reducing patriotism, causing Trump to have a "defeat")
4. That's how the left governs. They use narratives, talking points, they look out for themselves. I doubt that at any point during the planning did one of these people compute the increase in taxes, sales, and economic activity the parade would bring to DC, helping their voters.
5. So to sum up, DC inhabitants lose out on $$ millions, the surrounding areas like MD and VA lose out on economic activity, the people in those places are poorer because of this, but hey the Left had their talking point for a couple hours.
6. Reality is that Trump's tweet this morning removed much of that talking point. At this point a sane person would look at the left's actions and ask two questions: WTF? and Why am I voting for these idiots?
7. When your leaders sacrifice your wealth and future economic well being for a talking point that is meaningless and easily countered by a single tweet, it's time to #WalkAway from them.
8. This episode should drive home the lesson that:
LEFTISTS ARE NOT CAPITALISTS
LEFTISTS ARE NOT CAPITALISTS
