--Speaking to the National Education Association, Biden declared, “Democracy itself is on the ballot” in November.

He's right. Democracy can only be saved by voting out of office every Democrat except two: Henry Cuellar and the Mayor of El Paso.

The image that pops into my head is of the Rwandan genocide being performed as a 6th-grade class play.

The Democrats are like baby Hutus, or comic book Hutus, compulsively spouting eliminationist rhetoric—the MAGA Tutsis are evil vermin who are responsible for any and every act of violence (even the violence committed against them!), we cannot let them have any power or else they will destroy the country and all we hold sacred—but with one eye on the audience, hoping that everyone claps and recognizes how cute they are, and one eye on their parents, because they need an authority figure close by to protect them and mop up tears if something goes wrong.

And every song, every line of dialogue, repeats the same words, either as a threat or some other form of emotional manipulation—Nazis slavery Jim Crow, everything my opponents do is Nazis slavery Jim Crow, everything bad that happens is Nazis slavery Jim Crow. Will these people ever learn a new tune?

But at least when you watch a play performed by 6th graders you don't mind the repetition and sentimentality, the world depicted as a juvenile fantasy, bc they're kids and don't know any better (and they're cute)—but with the Democrats and their media wing only 2 truthful explanations are possible: either they're liars trying to manipulate people they think are stupider than them to do their bidding; or else they're sincere and really do live inside a cartoon fantasy of juvenile narcissism where they're always Good and the other team is always Evil and the rest of us exist to flatter and obey them.

Either way, when toddlers throw a tantrum and won't stop, it's time to give them a pacifier and put them to bed. The same goes for just about our entire political class and legacy media.
