The Democratic Debates – Dumpster Fire or Clown Show?

Prior to last week’s highly anticipated (LOL) Democratic Debates, someone on Twitter suggesting posting photos, memes, gifs, etc. to show what we might expect to see. Hilarity ensued! By far the majority of responses fell into two categories. Who knew there were so many videos depicting dumpsters on fire? Or so many pictures of clowns assembled?

Sadly, the debates themselves were not very funny. Shocking, maybe, but not funny. I confess that I did not watch either night. I did read the recaps the next day and watched several clips of some of the so-called highlights. Honestly, how could any American, in good conscience, vote for any of these people to be their President?

Should we pick the one who speaks Spanish the best? Or maybe just go with the one who promises the most free stuff? How about the one who promises to spend the most money killing babies? Or the one who plans to use the most of our taxpayer dollars to provide free health care for non-citizens? Seriously? Massive tax increases, open borders, anti-gun, anti-Christian, anti-Capitalism, impeach, impeach, impeach.

I realize that most of the Liberal Left passionately hate the President. And they hate the slogans Make America Great Again and America First and pretty much anything else promoted by him, but what’s so wrong about wanting your country to prosper? These candidates are apparently perfectly content to bankrupt the entire country if necessary to turn America into a socialist welfare state where the government is the great provider and everything is free. For some people anyway.

Unfortunately, the middle class will always bear the burden, working till the day we die to pay for all the free stuff we’ll never see. The rich will move their companies to other countries to avoid paying outrageous taxes. (And honestly, how is it fair to take 90% of someone’s earnings regardless of how much money they have?) The incentive to work will vanish when the government decides everyone gets an allowance whether they work or not. College will be free, but why bother to go? If you don’t have to work, why should anyone spend the time to prepare for a career?

Sorry, I’ve depressed myself enough for one day, mostly by thinking about how many people are likely planning to vote for one of these wackos no matter how outlandish their positions. Sad.
