Voters Don't Understand Midterm Stakes [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 6 November 2022 | John Semmens

Posted on 11/05/2022 2:28:04 AM PDT by John Semmens

Former secretary of state and loser in 2016 presidential election Hillary Clinton worries that "that Americans may not really understand what is at stake in the midterm elections. They may not grasp that it could mean the end of our democracy if Republicans retake the House and Senate. Just the other day historian Michael Beschloss warned that if Republicans win our democracy will be lost, our children will be arrested and killed by a brutal authoritarian regime."

"Republicans try to scare voters by harping on rising inflation and surging crime as reasons to oust Democrats from power," Clinton asserted. "We can survive rising costs of living. The government can impose price controls and rationing to ensure that everyone can be fed. As for crime, most are committed against private persons and do not threaten our democracy. The only crime we need to worry about is that Democrats will be replaced by Republicans in key offices up for a vote."

"The President has tried to remind us that getting this election right will take time," Clinton said. "Winners and losers might not be able to be declared on election night. Voters need to be patient enough to wait until the President can certify the results. Once that occurs all questions must cease and everyone accept the outcome. Any who refuse need to be silenced. That is the only way we can preserve the unity that Democrats have been working so hard to attain for this country."

In related news, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pointed out that "a lack of unity is something that our adversaries seek to exploit. It is the responsibility of government to stamp out false narratives and anti-government sentiment at home so we can present a united front to our enemies both abroad and at home. Obviously, step one of our effort to achieve national security must be to ensure that democracy triumphs at the ballot box next week. Ideally, we will someday reach a point where all are for democracy and none are against democracy. When Democrats receive 99% of the votes we will know we have arrived at this ideal."

Oh, I think we do, Shrillary.

Handicap or no, I dragged myself in on crutches to vote early, last Thursday. Not just the marquee offices, but everything down to county commissioner. (An office that was a Dem sinecure until 2020, when we’d finally had enough of the corruption.)

If we don't vote blue, the planet will spin off its axis, drift out of the solar system, and head into deep space.

We will all die...except roaches and, of course, Tracey Abrams (but then I repeat myself).

You can see how close to reality your satire is, by how many people mistake it for the truth...

Good one, John.

“our children will be arrested and killed by a brutal authoritarian regime.”

Is that before they are castrated and have their breasts removed by the Democrats?

And this is why she lost in 2016. She is still tone deaf and as stupid as ever.

Early voting is already breaking records and conservatives more often wait until election day itself to vote. Hubby and I have always voted on election day simply because we enjoy the feel of making it such a special day with our friends and neighbors. It has a community holiday feel to it. Of course, I live in a rural red county in a red state and understand not every gets those vibes.

Again, we are NOT a democracy.
We are a federated republic of independent states.
They WANT a democracy.

Hillary doesn’t seem to understand that the horrible scenario that would come about if we elect Republicans is just that exact scenario we are currently experiencing...with Democrats. Or....maybe she does understand. Has she always been truthful in the past?

Sen. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) observed that "to Biden, 'democracy' means one thing: Democrats having complete power." Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Az) contended that "the President's notion of what constitutes democracy looks an awful lot like tyranny to any sane person."

Thanks John for an exceptional column. I do believe that the Dems have been parodidizing themselves lately, and trying to out-do your satire (not possible, of course.)

One observation about the "democracy" word they keep chanting. It was the Dems who invented the Super Delegate. They don't even have or want "democracy" within their own party.

Thx

Satire helps expose the hidden truth of tyranny’s proponents.
