Have Americans got such short memories that theyve forgotten the damage done by Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats just two-plus years ago? Do they really want to go down the path of open borders, high crime and suffocating cancel culture all over again?
Thats whats in store if Republicans stay home on Election Day. Democrats are campaigning on mythical “affordability” measures, but mainly they talk about opposing Donald Trump. Why? Because their policies are unpopular or unworkable and they know it.
If they recover the majority in Congress, Democrats will spend time reversing the gains Trump has made on securing the border, growing our domestic energy output and suppressing the injurious DEI programs that Biden introduced.
HOUSE DEMS PLOT TRUMP INVESTIGATION BLITZ IF THEY SEIZE MAJORITY
Moreover, they will immediately start “investigating” President Trump. Theyll hire Hollywood producers to film their outrage, just as they did after the January 6 riots. As in 2021, if the GOP retains control of the senate, impeachment efforts will be stymied, but Democrats wont care.
The only mystery is which Republican in The Sequel will play Liz Cheney, the anti-Trumper who sanctimoniously betrayed her party in trying to impeach the president.
DEMOCRATS SAY THEY’LL MAKE LIFE AFFORDABLE. YOUR WALLET MAY DISAGREE
Democrats will waste time and money attacking Donald Trump because hating the president is literally the only thing gluing the party together. Voters will wait in vain for their newly-minted representatives to “fix” affordability, their principal campaign promise, because the far Left and more moderate Democrats cannot possibly agree on how to proceed.
Medicare for all? Good luck getting that perennial fantasy by union-loving Democrats. Members of the UAW or the AFL-CIO know how great their healthcare benefits are and will fight tooth and nail any attempt to take them away. An organizing memo from last year puts it best: “UAW members like those at General Motors Spring Hill Manufacturing plant pay no premiums for the family plan, have no deductible, and have limited co-pays with a maximum of $25 .” You think Uncle Sam is going to do better?
Make housing more affordable? The New Democrat Coalition, a centrist group of legislators, wants to: “Cut red tape and update permitting and zoning to build four million homes in the next decade”, sounding a lot like Trump, who has prioritized permitting reform for years. They also back “innovative construction technologies to accelerate home production”.
The first proposal will run smack into the environmentalists who have pushed housing costs through the roof in Democrat-run states like California and New York. According to a study by Realtor.com, there are only 11 states in which, using the 30% housing-cost threshold, a median-income household can afford the median-priced home. All but two voted for Trump in 2024. The most affordable housing in the country is in Iowa; the least affordable is in New York.
The second idea, which is smart, will alienate union voters who hate any innovation that might eliminate jobs (see longsh
