They Never Saw It Coming - News With Views

Leftists like to present themselves to us as The Smartest Persons In The World. We’re just a lot of racist hicks—no wonder they run rings around us.

But some of those rings are only circles: round and round and round they go, to what purpose, no one knows.

Nevertheless, three times on the last few weeks, these geniuses have been caught napping by events they should’ve foreseen a mile off. No one but a “progressive” would have been the least surprised by any of it. But then most of us aren’t distracted by any need to build a pedestal and pose on top of it.

*After raising the minimum wage to $20/hr., California has lost 10,000 jobs in the fast food industry. Many of those were entry-level jobs—and who in his right mind will pay $20/hr. to high school and college kids flipping burgers and tossing trash bags into the dumpster? Who can afford to do that?

California Democrats were amazed, appalled, and dumbfounded by “unintended consequences” that they never saw coming. Really—did you have to be Nostradamus to predict that? Did no one even suggest to Gov. Noisome that if he signed that new minimum wage bill, it would gut the state’s fast food industry? It wasn’t one of those tricky oracles that were always getting Greeks and Romans into trouble.

So you have to wonder how “unintended” it was.

*Noozies at CBS were flabbergasted when a Gallup Poll reported that 62% (!) of America’s voters favored “massive deportations” of illegal aliens. I mean they just couldn’t believe it, you could’ve knocked ‘em over with a feather. Personally, I’m amazed they could find 38% who didn’t think it was a problem. Betcha they’re all Democrats.

Oh, it’s not all bad! You put ‘em on the dole, you have to find some place to house them, find the money to pay for it (you can always raise taxes), and learn to wink and chortle at their disproportionate contributions to the crime rate. But on the upside, as soon as you’ve done some of that, you can get busy transforming them into lifelong Democrat voters. And America gets that long-awaited Fundamental Transformation.

*Across the Atlantic, journalists, globalists, and pederasts were astonished when Team Global got massacred in last week’s European Parliament elections. Out of 27 votes in 27 countries, their side lost… all 27.

How could such things be? What? You mean people don’t want unchecked Muslim immigration into Europe? Say it ain’t so, Joe! They don’t want their countries’ sovereignty chipped away by a lot of socialist wackos in the World Economic Forum—who despise the plebs and call them “useless eaters”? All the while trying to get them to eat bugs and lab-grown “meat,” God knows what it’s made of. Do you mean to tell us that ordinary people in Europe do not want those things?

Obviously this was a freak occurrence! Better hold some more elections and try to get it right, this time.

Clearly there’s something wrong with reality and they have to get it fixed. But reality isn’t so easily fixed. It has a nasty habit of biting Utopia where it really hurts.

We must work with all our might to make our elections, this year, a sweeping and irreparable wipe-out of the Far Left Crazy.
