Democrats Are Coming to Replace Your Hamburgers … With Better Hamburgers
Slate ^ | 4/26/21 | Ben Mathis

Posted on 01/24/2024 12:14:32 PM PST by DallasBiff

On Thursday of last week, a clickbait post on the Daily Mail site cited a University of Michigan study about the connection between cattle farming and climate change to assert that President Joe Biden’s greenhouse gas goals “could” require Americans to reduce their red meat consumption to the equivalent of one burger each month. This specious claim exploded across Fox News’ weekend programming; at one point the network ran a graphic asserting as fact that “Biden’s climate requirements” would force Americans to “cut 90% of red meat from diet.” From there the idea of a Biden Meat Threat was spread by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and likely 2024 presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Donald Trump Jr.

It is sort of equally funny and chilling that someone like Haley, who seeks to be the most mainstream possible kind of Republican, would spend her time participating in a meat panic that has even less of a connection to reality than “death panels” and gun seizures had to the Barack Obama agenda. You could also read it as an act of desperate overcompensation: If anything, the consumption of hamburgers by Democratic voters is a symbol of the Republican Party’s most pressing long-term problem.

Oh my, Nikki has come home to her democrat/uniparty base in 2024, Nikki blows like the wind, and I do not mean air wind.

There are two people in this world. Those that want to do things their own way, and those that want to force others to do things their way.

Will it be a “temporary” or “voluntary” addition of ground grasshoppers? An innocuous 5% at first. Two years later it’s magically at 25%. 5 years later it’s 75% ground bugs and locusts and cicadas and your fries are tofu.

“..pResident Retard the dictator wants to control your menu...”

It’s King pedoPIG, The First!!!
He rules by edict and decree.
The King has spoken!
What is spoken, let it be so.
All hail, The King!
Oh, never, ever question the higher intelligence of the King....ever!!

Not only does he want to control your menu. He also wants to control how and with what appliances you cook with, what you clean with.
This is “their democracy”, and why our Constitution Republic is such a dire threat to “their democracy”. Essentially, they’re communists to the core....AINOs.

Beyond Meat “burgers” are worse than dog food. Very unhealthy for your digestive system.

It’s the old GOPe saw. We have to win without our base. Not realizing that when you divorce the base, the base gets to keep the house. Time to move out to another party.

"President Retard the dictator wants to control your menu."

Whenever we would go to Kroger's for groceries, my wife always gives them her "Kroger card" at the register. I told her I thought it was a real bad idea to let someone build a data base on everything you consume. I really believe that, sooner or later, the government is going to use that information against us..

There are lots of other shops that are starting to do the same thing. They want your name and phone number even if your using cash. It's not a good idea... :(

Nope. The democrats NEVER have and NEVER will replace anything with something better.

Whatever they replace is always far worse and I don’t want any part of it.

The meme is excellent because that is my response to ANYTHING the government is involved in.
