The Democrats and their boosters have settled on the dual strategy of blaming Putin for inflation and also telling Americans that downgrading their lives is the solution to poverty. I saw a Bloomberg publication advising people who can’t pay their bills to:
- Take the bus
- Don’t buy in bulk
- Try lentils instead of meat
- Nobody said this would be fun
Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? I’ve got one. Sell your blood. Wonderful!
But it seems obvious that this opens a very good opportunity for the Republicans to be seen as the party that wants Americans not to be poor. They can have a slogan like, “The Democrats want you to barely survive; The Republicans want you to thrive.”
It’s truly pathetic that McConnell and McCarthy haven’t already rolled out a campaign for November that targets Democrat voters. They should harangue Democrats in all fifty states to provide enough votes in the Senate to convict both Biden and Harris of being dumbasses who have allowed the US economy to deteriorate to where Americans can’t buy meat for their kids. We’d need sixty-seven votes in the Senate and that is probably a bridge too far but it would make a killer advertising campaign. Imagine showing cuts of Biden and Harris spouting gibberish, graphs showing gas and food prices skyrocketing and then finish by saying, “Can we afford to wait three more years to get rid of Biden? By then there won’t be anything left. Vote Republican to get rid of the dumbasses.”
I think it has definite appeal. One thing such a campaign strategy might do is sow dissension in Democrat ranks. Democrat senators who are up for re-election will try to distance themselves from Biden and Harris. Some might even agree with the campaign to help bolster their chances for re-election. Even if we don’t get the sixty-seven votes in November there might be some senators up for re-election in 2024 who might work with the Republicans to get rid of Biden and Harris next year.
And what it will do is appeal to people’s desire to get out of the trap we’re in. Who wants to hear that we have to wait until 2025 to see the last of Dementia Joe and the Nitwit? Even if it doesn’t succeed it might get us a few more seats and those will help to offset poisonous fools like Romney. Yeah, I like this idea. I think I’ll have a flag made that says, “Impeach the Dumbasses.” It’s not as inspirational as Make America Great Again or anything like that but it’s short, punchy and abusive which plays to my strengths.
I’ll fly the flag in the run-up to Election Day and have a barbecue to raise money for “Impeach the Dumbasses” bumper stickers. Come to think of it, maybe I can have them made up by one of those web sites that make custom bumper stickers and sell them on the site. You know, it’s sort of my patriotic duty to do it. And I might even make a few bucks too. Win, win.
Update: So there have been a few people interested in actually buying a bumper sticker. If anyone knows of an on-line company that does a good job making these things cheaply and conveniently let me know. Me and my big mouth!
Would you consider changing your website name to include “Impeach the Dumbasses” until the 2022 elections are held?
I don’t have the computer savvy.

If you do decide to make the bumper stickers, I’ll order as many as I can afford and hand them out to my motorcycle group.
Now I actually have to do my homework and find out how to do it.
You could possibly replace the word “asses” with the democrat donkey silhouette. Although I guess there are enough dumbasses in both parties…
And somehow, in the strange recesses of my mind, this reminded me of a riddle I heard a few years ago:
How do you know that the democrats are the “sexy” political party?
Have YOU ever heard of someone chasing a hot piece of elephant?
Jason, everything about our political set-up seems dysfunctional. It’s almost unbelievable that it has been in existence for centuries. But I suppose anything involving millions of humans would be chaotic and painful. I just wish there was a less evil party.
Jason, I just started looking for companies that would make the stickers on-demand so I wouldn’t have to be the bottle neck. But I’ve never done e-commerce before so my learning curve is pretty steep right now.
I have a friend who used to run a company that did this. He doesn’t own/run that company any longer, but I’ll see if he knows anyone. They did stickers and the car magnets and all kind of things like that.
Since these people exist who can be used to print bumper stickers maybe we can have a contest to decide what the best or funniest saying would be. If we come up with eight or twelve sayings we can take a vote and pick the best that way. I’ll try to get it linked to one of the bigger news aggregators and discover the “will of the people.” Might not work but it could be fun.
