I was having a conversation with one of the HVAC technicians that was fixing my home heating system the other night.\u00a0 He was about my age and was a soft-spoken guy and like most people in New England, he was a Democrat.\u00a0 And I think he brought up the election in the context of the challenges that Biden faces on account of things like the cost of oil and gasoline and food.\u00a0 And his challenge with voting against Biden was that he considered Trump a bad guy.<\/p>\n
The fellow said, \u201cBut look how much he lies, how can that be acceptable?\u201d\u00a0 So, I asked him what it meant that everyone on the Left lied about the Russian-Trump investigation.\u00a0 How could it be acceptable that the FBI knew it was a hoax but they used it to damage the Trump administration for a couple of years.<\/p>\n
He had nothing to say about that.\u00a0 So here is this guy who I\u2019d say is a decent man.\u00a0 He knows that a lot of the policies of the Left are crazy.\u00a0 He thinks the whole green energy thing is incoherent and doomed to failure.\u00a0 But he has the talking points about Trump and his followers being \u201cdangerous\u201d and uncouth.\u00a0 He wants the Republicans to come up with a more palatable candidate.\u00a0 In other words, they want to be able to say both Biden and Trump are both unacceptable.\u00a0 Which really means they don\u2019t think they can win with Biden and so they want a way out of the status quo.<\/p>\n
I think the Democrats have come to the conclusion they can\u2019t win with Biden.\u00a0 He\u2019s deteriorating and even if he maintained his current mental state, he can\u2019t debate anyone and he has so many liabilities that general election commercials will shred him mercilessly.\u00a0 So, the party wants desperately to replace him with Newsome.\u00a0 Of course, they have to replace Biden and Harris.\u00a0 Neither of them is viable.\u00a0 They have to allow a primary challenge to Biden.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been hearing that the primary challenge has to happen before January.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s true.\u00a0 The Democrats often switch around the rules to suit themselves and I don\u2019t see how a late entry into the primaries would be disqualifying.\u00a0 In fact, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if in March or April Joe Biden decides not to run and a replacement candidate is selected by acclamation by the Democrat National Committee.\u00a0 After all that\u2019s what they used to do in the real old days and I\u2019m sure that the by-laws of the Committee have some sort of loophole that allows the backroom boys to use their emergency powers to make such a decision when an act of God, like Joe being blackmailed into bowing out, occurs.<\/p>\n
Now, when all of this happens, that fellow I was talking to will think it was a stroke of good luck.\u00a0 Now he can stop worrying and thinking about the problems in front of him.\u00a0 Instead of senile, crooked Joe Biden he has young, honest Gavin Newsome.\u00a0 Sure, Newsome espouses the same failed policies that got Biden into the jam he\u2019s in.\u00a0 California\u2019s insane energy policies are the blueprint that Biden is using to destroy the rest of the country\u2019s economy.\u00a0 Newsome is just as corrupt as Biden.\u00a0 All he has going for him is better hair and a few more brain cells.\u00a0 But the Democrat voters just want to be assured that the plan is back on track.\u00a0 The arc of history is back to bending toward Barack Obama\u2019s promised land of social justice and climate healing.<\/p>\n
What all that tells me is that before America can ever get around to facing reality, reality is going to have to hit Democrats in the face with a baseball bat\u2019s worth of truth. \u00a0It\u2019s going to take economic ruin and lifestyle squalor to get these true believers to cry uncle.<\/p>\n
Well, that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for.\u00a0 The Lord Humungous will have to set up shop in the wasteland and begin throwing the voters into the soup pot before they admit that \u201cour democracy\u201d may no longer be all that it was cracked up to be.\u00a0 The question is whether we will be at the leading or lagging edge of the curve.\u00a0 New Zealand has kicked out their blue team and installed the conservatives.\u00a0 But who knows how the tide is running in various places.\u00a0 I think we\u2019ll be lagging the curve.\u00a0 I expect the suffering to increase significantly for quite a while.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t even be too surprised by a Biden second term.<\/p>\n
After all, the Left has invested enormous resources into election fraud.\u00a0 Why wouldn\u2019t they pull out all the stops in 2024?\u00a0 Sure, it\u2019s transparently fake.\u00a0 And the voting populace already says they believe 2020 was stolen.\u00a0 But no one has successfully done anything about it.\u00a0 So, what\u2019s to stop the next bigger round of fraud?<\/p>\n
Now what could change all this is if the international situation really deteriorates.\u00a0 A hot war for us with Iran or even Russia could launch the price of oil into the stratosphere and truly wreck the economy.\u00a0 That might be enough for the Dems to say uncle.\u00a0 Would that get my friend the technician to say uncle and vote for Trump.\u00a0 Yeah, I\u2019ll bet it would.\u00a0 But he\u2019d still claim that Trump is a bad guy and would wish that Nikki Haley was his choice.\u00a0 Well, you can\u2019t blame him.\u00a0 She is a good Democrat.<\/p>\n
