What I learned from Barry the Usurper’s speech:
1. Progressivism sees the ultimate aim of government as the removal or mitigation of consequences for those it has deliberately enslaved with gilded shackles.
2. Logic has no place in the actions of government. You MUST believe that deportation is physically impossible, but verification of tax status and criminal background checks for the very same people can be accomplished with the wave of a wand.
3. “New tones” and “civility” only apply to discourse directed toward the monarch and his prerogatives; he will be as insulting, as condescending, and as reckless with the truth as he likes. He may impugn the character of his opponents, and assassinate any character he choses without acknowledging that he never had a right to claim the moral high ground that he has. And if you expect something different, that’s your problem, not his.
4. Breaking the law should never be rewarded, unless the Monarch deems it proper to do so.
5. Redefining terms and words in order to rhetorically spin dross into gold is acceptable linguistic alchemy.
6. Claiming cover based on the actions of predecessors whom you have reviled and disrespected at every turn isn’t despicable and toxically ironic when the Monarch does it.
7. If Congress doesn’t pass a law that the Monarch wants, the Monarch can refuse to enforce the law that exists…and such a trick is capable of repetition.
#2 actually made my laugh out loud. The same rationale that says we can’t secure a border on display, though more than 40 years ago, we put a man on an orbiting rock, without oxygen, in the extremes of temperatures, 252,000 miles away.
Diversity saw to it that those remain distant memories of greatness. Way too white, way too male, way too Conservative.
Great point and one that I didn’t give much thought to until you mentioned it.
You got it about right.
