I like to think we do things that are representative of us and of how we are. I like to think that our actions count for something and that our words represent rather than belie our actions.
I like to think that some things stand for other things. I’m talking about bigger metaphors than those like A=B without using like or as. I’m talking about one action standing for a whole group of actions.
Here are a few past examples. One I’ve mentioned before is Harry Reid lying and saying that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes in ten years. It was a lie but Romney could not get out from under it and other mistruths cast by those wonderful Democrat leaders we have.
Later, Mitt Romney having lost, of course, Harry Reid was called out for lying and he said, so what, he lost didn’t he?
That act of lying while pretending to tell the truth has become the overall metaphor in the Democrat playbook.
It would be pointless to go over the past four years because the sides are drawn. Nearly seventy-four million people believe the Democrats stole this election and that says it all. In fact it is a good metaphor for the division in this country.
That said, going back to Harry Reid and the Democrat lying playbook, Joe Biden said he would never take a vaccine developed under Trump and he used that to help his plight in this past election, as a tool. As he said it, as he proclaimed to the people that Trump couldn’t be trusted, he knew all the precautions and measures that had to be taken for a vaccine to be declared usable.
He was lying.
Then he was first to take that vaccine developed under President Trump.
Metaphor for the Democrats, lie as you see fit, even when you know you are lying. And then do as you do.
Metaphor.
Biden is lying all over the place and the media is covering up for him.
We deserve better. We deserve a better metaphor to live by, to be led by, maybe ones established by the likes of Jesus or Martin Luther King Jr.

Unfortunately the republicans aren’t any better. Its like chosing between two flavors of ice cream. Pick the lies you want to believe and your flavor of treason and authoritarianism.
