SUE THE REPUBLICAN

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF SUE THE REPUBLICAN:

Sue gets up at 6 a.m. and fills her coffee pot with water to prepare her morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.

With her first swallow of coffee, she takes her daily medication. Her medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of her medications are paid for by her employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Sue gets it too.

She prepares her morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Sue's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the shower, Sue reaches for her shampoo. Her bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for her right to know what she was putting on her body and how much it contained.

Sue dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air she breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

She walks to the subway station for her government-subsidized ride to work. It saves her considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Sue begins her workday. She has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Sue's employer pays these standards because Sue's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Sue is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, she'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think she should lose her home because of her temporary misfortune.

It’s noon and Sue needs to make a bank deposit so she can pay some bills. Sue's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Sue's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Sue has to pay her Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and her below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Sue and the government would be better off if she was educated and earned more money over her lifetime.

Sue is home from work. She plans to visit her father this evening at his farm home in the country. She gets in her car for the drive. Her car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.

She arrives at her childhood home. Her generation was the third to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

She is happy to see her father, who is now retired. Her father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Sue wouldn't have to.

Sue gets back in her car for the ride home and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Sue enjoys throughout her day. Sue agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm self-made and believe everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".

How to fix everything that has been ruined.

People imagine cleaning house and cutting everything is good for government. Forget the lost expertise, and disruption of lives. Supposedly doctors are running for office because politics has gotten too stupid about medical issues (Guardian). A democratic response is to participate, counter all the negative forces in the current regime. Turns out when people are too complacent, things go bad. 

RFK Junior is a lawyer who made it rich sueing about vaccines, and so he just continues his crusade against vaccines, and then the far right wing agenda of gutting all the safeguards and lifesaving things the government does around health. It's a complete disaster of a term in government. The democratic response is to get involved. Run for office. Apply real expertise in health matters in government.

The regime has turned the clock back to early days when government was small. Our population was small. We are now an advanced democracy who has gone through some growing pains. It's time for people to step up. Staying out of politics isn't an option. You can't sit by and hope others govern well. This catastrophe of a regime is created by political indifference and inattention. You must participate. For me it's starting by paying attention to the upcoming election of Meng versus Park. 

The regime wants to take out ocean monitoring devices (NY Times). Like that's the problem we're facing today with soaring gas prices and inflation. The regime says it doesn't care about the cost of living and that's the only thing people are about if you reduce their issues. The blatant destruction of climate science wasn't really the single issue voters they think it is. They just want to destroy climate science. If you don't like the news just cut off the source of the news. It's like when the regime didn't want to count Covid cases. Such idiocy. 

We really backed ourselves into this situation. The supreme court has never been this far right wing. They're allowing Alabama black districts to be destroyed, gerrymandering them away (NBC).

Grace Meng or Chuck Park?

Read Park's Reddit AMA. I like him. Seems grass roots, I like most his policies. Heritage from Taiwan.

I looked up Grace Meng. 13 year incumbent, don't mind her policies, and votes. Korean heritage.

"During Meng's time as a member of the New York Assembly, Linda Sun worked as a member of her staff. In 2024, Sun was arrested and charged with several federal felony violations for acting as an unregistered agent of the People's Republic of China. Meng was not charged with any wrongdoing. In response to Sun's arrest, Meng commented, "Like every American patriot, I am deeply, deeply concerned about the national security threat that the Chinese Communist Party's government poses to the United States, and I believe we need to protect our nation from it.""

Asked Gemini if Park could win? Outside chance, doesn't have the money Meng does for the campaign. 

Looking into these politicians to figure out who I'm going to vote for June 23rd.

Meng owns stock in a company that provides technology for ICE. I'm voting for Park. If you think ICE murdering Renee Good and Alex Peretti is OK, vote for Meng.

Other thoughts:

I don't think there's a more clear fight between good and evil in James Talarico versus Ken Paxton. The worst thing they can say about Talarico is that he's a vegan transgender. They call him "Low T" for low testosterone, because they think to be a man you can't be empathic. They're the ones with the askew gender concepts. They got nothing. Paxton is evil incarnate as far as I'm concerned. The Houston Chronicle has endorsed Talarico. "I've been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton's first indictment." I would never live in Texas, the politics disgust me too much. The culture wars there just make me say nope.

This is perhaps a preview of the upcoming elections. I honestly worry about what they'll say about Pete Buttigig and AOC. The goal is to make people hate politics and tune out. I'm going to be a smart voter. 

Graham Platner had a scandal, some untoward texts to women, when he's in a relationship with one. You want someone who supports Trump who rapes 9 year olds? I mean Biden stuck his finger in a woman, a staff person, unwanted digital penetration, he wasn't perfect either, but he's less of a rapist. 

Platner got a Nazi tattoo, it's not clear he knew what it meant. He's even said he's not going to be a Fetterman, which means he's not going to break the Democratic line to support Trump. Fetterman ended up being a DINO. 

I just read George Saunders' Lincoln In The Bardo, and in his interview he admitted before he went to Syracuse he was an Ayn Rand fan. People are allowed to be young and evolve. Seems to be a man of the people. I read a Reddit post where someone claims Platner taught LGBT people gun safety. That seems more important to me, supporting gay people, than some youthful indiscretions. Anyway, anything is better than the Republicans, who have no honor.
