Democrats’ Policies Are Unfit For The Presidency Joy Pullman
In 2016, the news-minding public endured an endless chant branding Donald Trump’s character and personality as “unfit” for office.
It was a slogan deployed against him by no less than President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Clinton debuted it in a major campaign speech echoed in a campaign ad featuring conservative writer Charles Krauthammer. In her speech, Clinton called Trump “tempermentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes.” Obama said, “the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president.”
People who called Trump “unfit” for office in 2016 include Joe Biden; 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, USA Today’s editorial board in its first presidential endorsement ever, later presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Rand Paul; RedState editor and “lifelong Republican” Leon Wolf, author of the debunked “Fire and Fury” novel Michael Wolff, TV personality Omarosa, 2020 presidential candidate Rep. John Delaney, Republican former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, and the United Kingdom’s now-Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
It didn’t end when Trump took office, of course. This week, Trump’s niece Mary Trump has a new tell-all book just like all the others, also insisting he’s “unfit.” In the intervening time, we’ve heard the same buzzword from the FBI director Trump fired, Jim Comey; the national security advisor Trump fired, John Bolton; writer Andrew Sullivan; New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan; and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Clearly, Democrats have been trying to cement in voters’ foreheads the idea that Trump’s personality is unfit for office. Perhaps that’s because Democrats’ policies never have been as unfit for the office as they are now.
Just this week, in his first semi-public appearance in months, presidential Potemkin village candidate Joe Biden promised to be the farthest-left president in American history.
That’s quite a claim, if you know any history. Together, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson slow-motion wrecked the United States’ institutions, replacing a society of individual accountability and responsibility with a society of buck-passing generational theft and an anti-American shadow Constitution. Even if your history knowledge only goes back four years, Obama’s presidency:
- saw the feds take over of a third of the economy through Obamacare and corporate bailouts;
- accelerated national financial collapse through unprecedented increases in taxpayer debts;
- further nationalized public education through an illegally imposed Common Core;
- misused federal power to surveil, harass, and subvert the opposing political party;
- appointed two far-left wack jobs of Supreme Court justices;
- sent guns to violent Mexican cartels that were used to murder Americans, then lied about it;
- effectively amnestyed 660,000 illegally present foreign citizens, forcing U.S. citizens to pay for benefits to them such as public education and health care;
- cut off perfectly legal companies from access to banking because of their politics;
- weaponized the Internal Revenue Service to harass grassroots political opponents and silence their speech;
- tried to force nuns to pay for abortifacients;
- forced public schools to put boys in little girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms;
- fomented campus kangaroo courts that punished anyone accused of sexual assault without a remotely fair trial;
- attempted to force medical providers to treat men as women and vice versa;
- nationalized the student loan industry and inflated the student debt bubble;
- used the National Security Agency to mass surveil innocent Americans and collect private email, phone, and other records;
- bailed out with taxpayer cash a terrorist regime that brutalizes its people (Iran);
- endorsed race riots in Ferguson, Missouri; and
- executed 783 scandals. Plus:
What could possibly be more extreme, especially since Biden was supposed to be running on “a return to normalcy” instead of extremism?
Cutting Americans Off from Energy: The 110-page document opens claiming that “climate change is a global emergency.” Right now we are enduring what is claimed to be another global emergency, also claimed to have justified forcibly shutting down social activity, destroying the life’s work of millions of Americans who have built careers, businesses, and nonprofits, putting nearly a fifth of employed Americans out of work, and destabilizing the next generation’s future with anti-science school lockdowns.
Democrats repeatedly say, including in this document, that climate change is a global emergency. It is not at all far-fetched to think they would be willing to repeat coronavirus ruination, on even worse terms. “We agree with scientists and public health experts that the United States — and the world — must achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, and no later than 2050,” the document says.
The only way to do this using solar and wind power, as Democrats demand in the document, is to make the United States a low-energy economy. That’s an impoverished economy, a Third World economy. Ventilators cannot run on wind power, to say nothing of grocery stores, hospitals, and homes. Turning the United States into a Third World country is not a policy worthy of the United States presidency. It is unfit for office.
