We used to call them armchair liberals. They sat in their cozy arm chairs in their comfortable living rooms and made decisions that changed the lives of the everyday people but which didn’t affect them at all.
We used to think of them as a class as the Politburo in Russia, then the Soviet Union, those super-wealthy oligarchs who ran everything for their own benefit.
Nowadays, it isn’t them. It is the political class in Washington, that group of Senators and Congressmen who rule us. They don’t lead us anymore. They rule us. They are multimillionaires, most of them, much more than half of them. Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are good examples. How did Maxine Waters afford a 5 million dollar house on her 175,000 dollar salary?
Nowadays they are the Hollywood elites, the broadcast media moguls and broadcasters and of course big tech people.
Nowadays they are professional athletes many of whom have gone from extreme poverty to mega-millions just for dunking a basketball. That’s quite a contrast to Ben Carson who did it because of good parenting, hard work, education, intelligence, talent and perseverance.
So when they, they being those above, tell us we need to have severe gun restrictions, they are surely not giving up their personal, armed bodyguards and secret service complement. While they keep our kids out of school, their kids are going to private school and in-person learning. When they tell us to conserve, note that Michael Bloomberg has taken more than 1700 trips in his private jets in the last four years gallivanting around to his multimillion dollar mansions throughout the world. And we all know that John Kerry just plain told us that he was more important than we are so he could fly on his personal plane.
We have to conserve to support their affluence, not for the reasons they tell us to.
So which shoes do you wear?
Are you one of those armchair liberals who can afford an electric car or the increased price of gas? Who Can pay out of pocket for medical and mental health services so as not to wait to be seen or have to worry about not getting seen when you really need to be seen? Who doesn’t have to worry about food prices, energy prices, inflation as a whole? Who touts all that liberal free stuff for the little people (like me) and for anyone and everyone the liberal Democrats want to let into the country and have the little people like me pay for? You one of those whose kids are in private school and not schooling with the illegals?
Now a little anecdote.
I’ve been mentioning I work in the mental health field in one of those liberal blue states. Our demand is up 150 percent from last year. Our resources have remained the same. If you need a therapist or medication management or a neuropsychological examination, right now there’s nothing available if you are on Medicaid or government sponsored insurance. A wait list could be eight months or more. Kids are waiting 50 days for a bed in an ER after having a mental health crisis and all the while suicide ideation and self harm are increasing dramatically.
Which shoes do you wear?
You one of those armchair liberals who marches into the office and pays with cash for immediate service? Or are you the mom who asks who is gonna help me after my kid kills himself because s/he couldn’t get seen in time?
Let’s get real.
The Big Democrat Lie pretty much speaks for itself. They move their lips, they lie. We would all know it if not for the biased media. And if you believe the mainstream media, you better start learning Chinese and behaving the way they want you to.
Don’t believe me? Just keep your head in the sand and keep sucking up their kool aid.
