The Democrats have concise memories as they should reflect on what Hillary Clinton did to self-destruct her candidacy in 2016. When Hillary looked into the lens of the camera and called Trump supporters “deplorable,” she insulted half of America. She gave Trump supporters the extra impetus to get out and put their guy in the White House. Eight years later, Hillary is appearing on talk shows comparing Trump to Hitler and his rally in Madison Square Garden to a gathering of Nazis as Adolph did in 1939. I am not sure why anyone pays attention to Clinton, but these two incidents should be enough to keep her away from cameras and microphones for her lifetime.

Kamala Harris is not known in MENSA circles, but somebody on her staff should be cognitive enough to keep their candidate from falling into Hillary’s trap. Maybe Kamala’s entire staff is short in the IQ ranking as she is making it her closing argument to label Trump and all of his supporters Nazis and Fascists. Every time she promotes her closing, her poll numbers drop while Trumps rise. Great strategy, Kamala. But wait, it gets worse.

President Joe Biden was not satisfied with deplorable, Nazi, or Fascist. Joe is disappointed that he is not welcome on the campaign trail and wants to make a splash at every opportunity. On Tuesday, while Harris was speaking before one of her biggest turnouts to make final comments on the race, Joe was submarining Harris by letting his lips move before his weakened mind. He had already called Trump immoral and unfit for the Presidency, but he brought insulting Americans to an all-time low. He was responding to a lousy comedian’s distasteful comments at Trump’s rally that disparaged Puerto Rico. He doubled down on the line by calling Trump and his supporters garbage. Garbage- this comment/insult from the man who pledged to unite all Americans while campaigning in 2020. That pledge was just a broken promise.

The insulting goes beyond the Democrats assigning labels. It goes to the lies and the disingenuous advertising. It goes to the outright mistruths out of Harris and Walz’s mouths about their accomplishments, plans, and opponents. The media used to be the filter and the fact-checkers for the public. Now, they are complicit in the process. I watched a segment of Rachel Maddow as she discussed the recent legal actions that went in favor of the Left, including the courts shutting down Virginia’s efforts to remove non-citizens from the voting lists. Maddow praised the courts and called the rulings pro-democracy. How can anyone say that allowing non-citizens to vote in American elections? Illegals voting cheapens my vote, and that is what Democracy is all about. As I write, it was just announced that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Virginia, and the names will be removed. Rachel will be tearing into the Court her next opportunity.

Kamala Harris is directly placing ads connecting the 2025 Project to Donald Trump. She is making accusations that have been debunked, just like the Project itself. The 2025 Project has nothing to do with Trump’s policies, and she knows it. It works in her favor to lie, period. American politics has become ugly, but we need to find new descriptives as the Democrats find new lows in their campaigns.
