Imagine being a parent on a budget, down to your last container of formula: You drive to four different grocery stores, two Wal-Marts, a Target and a Rite-Aid, racking up more than 60 miles in pursuit of nourishment for your child. You not only have zero luck finding anything to feed your baby; you have also used up a lot of gas.
Along that drive you likely also saw significant evidence of a drug problem — either in the gaunt, vacant faces on people walking along Main Street or the batch of new treatment centers that have popped up where they’d never been before — and you might begin to wonder: ‘When was the last time anyone in power has seen what’s going on in our communities?’
Meanwhile, it was recently reported the Biden White House spent six months coming up with the nickname “Ultra MAGA” to go after Republican candidates.
The people who run strategy for the White House seem to have forgotten how to place themselves in voters’ shoes and experience everyday problems that impact families and communities. For them it is nothing but political calculation: They went to strategy school, not governing school.

Stories like this, concerning the troubles of working people in America, appear everyday, though Salena Zito is hands down best at it. It is glaringly apparent America’s ruling class, when it comes to the plight of the working and middle classes in this country, simply don’t care. The entirely and easily avoidable problems the latter struggle with daily amount to, at most, the slightest perturbations in the minds our Democrat elite, which may or may not cause them to indiscriminately throw scads of money at the problems and hope they go away. It’s all they know how to do.
The question then is, how did America end up with such dreadful, selfish people in charge, so utterly unrepresentative of the vast majority of the populace in this country?
Sadly, the answer at least partly lies with that same populace ignored by their leaders. Those working and middle class souls, heavily Democratic, often multi-generational, have been voting as if by rote for Democratic candidates, not just for years, but for generations: scanning the ballots or voting machines in search of the Democrat column and voting accordingly. That unquestioning attitude, along with manifold cheating, has given us perhaps the worst people ever holding public office in Washington and elsewhere.
Fortunately, as Zito points out, that sort of lazy voting seems to be on the way out. Not finding baby formula on the shelves of Walmart or Target and paying the highest gasoline prices in history, while our brain-dead president, following instructions, blames everything on Putin, has a way of clarifying people’s minds when it comes to voting.
Finally it is crossing people’s minds that politicians on the left simply cannot get anything done or fix any problems; they are utterly incompetent. When you combine that with brazen indifference and callous disregard, you end up where we are today.
Election day is only six months away, but that is ample time for the Democrats to screw up things even more, thus making it manifestly clear to voters Democrats are utterly unworthy of holding any public office, from the presidency to city council alternate.
It’s really very simple. Never, ever vote Democrat again. Place them in Chapter 11. The party doesn’t deserve to exist.
THE TAOS TATLER.
