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

Thx.

Democrats are convinced voters are too stupid to comprehend their Party’s intention to destroy liberty. Their tools of deception, corruption, and fraud have been honed over decades and are very successful.

They have persuaded a conservative friend of mine that Trump is so lacking in character that everything he says or does must be opposed—even if it means embracing tyranny. He admits that Biden is also of low character, but excuses that because Democrats have always been that way. In his mind it is better to absorb an honorable defeat than try to resist by fighting back.

If we ever lose our democracy, you can always get a news speak job with the state run newspaper, John. You’re almost too good at this.

A nightly prayer: If Biden is gone before I wake, I pray to God the news ain’t fake.
