Sue gets up at 6 a.m. and fills her coffeepot with water to prepare her morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. (1)
With her first swallow of coffee, she takes her daily medication.
Her medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. (2)
All but $10 of her medications are paid for by her employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Sue gets it too. (3)
She prepares her morning breakfast, bacon and eggs.
Sue's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. (4)
In the shower, Sue reaches for her shampoo.
Her bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for her right to know what she was putting on her body and how much it contained. (5)
Sue dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath.
The air she breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
She walks to the subway station for her government-subsidized ride to work. (6)
It saves her considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. (7)
Sue begins her work day. She has a good job w/excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
Sue's employer pays because he doesn't want his employees to call the union (8)
If Sue is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, she'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think she should lose her home because of her temporary misfortune. (9)
Its noon and Sue needs to make a bank deposit so she can pay some bills.
Sue's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Sue's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. (10)
Sue has to pay her Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and her below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Sue and the government would be better off if she was educated and earned more money over her lifetime. (11)
Sue is home from work. She plans to visit her father this evening at his farm home in the country. She gets in her car for the drive.
Her car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. (12)
She arrives at her childhood home. Her generation was the third to live in the house financed by FHA because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-govt liberal demanded rural electrification (13)
She is happy to see her father, who is now retired.
Her father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Sue wouldn't have to. (14)
On Sue’s ride home, she turns on radio
Radio host keeps saying liberals are bad and conservatives are good—doesn't mention @GOP has fought against every protection and benefit Sue enjoys throughout her day. (15)
Sue agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm self-made and believe everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have." (16)
A Democratic Election Sweep Would Be Great for the Economy
Economic outlook is decidedly bearish on Republicans and weakest under scenario in which Trump and Republicans sweep Congress and fully adopt their economic agenda
If Trump wins— it is not until first half of 2024 that economy returns to full employment…unemployment remains persistently higher…labor force participation rate that never fully recovers to its pre-pandemic highs…real after-tax income does not change much during Trump’s term
Economy suffers in Trump’s second term, as we expect he’ll double down on foreign trade/immigration policies.
20 serious points of comparison between early Hitler and Trump
1. Neither was elected by a majority. Once installed Hitler set about demonizing his political opponents, and no one mounted a serious effort to stop him
2. Both Trump and Hitler found direct communication channels to their base. Hitler found direct communication pathway—the Nazi Party gave out radios with only one channel, tuned to Hitler’s voice, bypassing Germany’s news media
Trump tweets support for ‘war crimes’ vet Edward Gallagher in fresh challenge to navy bosses
