It’s always the hypocrisy with these clowns-and one of the tenets of Trumplandia is that hypocrisy gets to the libs better than almost anything. My hope is that in their casual overuse of it, sane Americans (aka “libs”) are made numb to it. Then I think we’ll be ready to really move forward.
I hope baby boomers’ collective determination to defeat death leads them to vote Ernst out of office.
I don’t know why the hypocrisy never fully registers with voters. That’s gotten so old as a pattern that the kids who paid attention in school cared about and people who don’t like to read don’t acknowledge. But what I hate more is the condescension paired with cruelty. Will voters re-elect someone who clearly doesn’t respect them?
I'm not quite sure why this got under my goat more than other grotesque statements made by equally thoughtless politicians, but it did. Maybe it's the condescending tone. I hate mean girls.
There’s a good democrat candidate running against her.
I dont have a ton of hope though. Like the state I’m living in now (MO) Iowa consistently votes against their own best interests. It’s tough living in a state where your elected officials treat you in such a manner. We had a great candidate in Lucas Kunce who was roundly defeated by Jogs Hallways- a Trump sycophant who clearly loathes his constituents & doesn’t even live in Missouri.
After watching that sarcastic condescending video I realize that Ernst is beneath contempt. Anyone who votes for her is either totally ignorant or has no self respect.
Truly performative, in that she shot her condescending video while walking through a cemetery! She acted like a ubiquitous mean-girl from high school. So gross. Hopefully, karmic forces will sort her and her awfulness.
This video proved, yet again, the cruelty is the point. They genuinely believe that enriching themselves, punishing the poor, and mocking non-Christians is going to give them permanent sky parties and angels playing cloud harps. It's hilarious she brings up the tooth fairy because at least a healthy child will grow up able to tell fiction from reality. These lunatics are Jim Jones in stereo.
The fact that this accepted by anyone is mind-blowing. Today I just feel totally defeated. Just too much happening that seems irrevocable. I think I just tumbled after watching two episodes of "Million Dollar Car Sales" (or whatever the name is) on MAX. All those shallow, grasping people spending incalculable amounts of money on things that are so unimportant. All that money could go toward doing good, and yet, they spend it on collecting expensive imported cars (and then make them sillier yet with customization). Setting the stage for four years later when the government panders to exactly these people at the expense of others and making amassing wealth with no conscience aspirational.

I'm with you on this.
I'm also bothered because she thought that shit would be funny.
I prefer Jimmy Carter’s brand of piety - genuine humility.
Despicable. “We’re all going to die”. You die then, bitch.
Her arrogance is surprising. She’s spitting in the faces of her constituents and apparently does not care what they think.
She’s going to vote to take away their healthcare and give those dollars to the rich. Shes confident there will be no consequences.
The sad part is, they’ll reelect her and Iowans will suffer.
The red states habitually shoot themselves in the foot.
Like moths to a flame.

Vote her out Iowa!

Probably shouldn’t but I’m finding solace in the lyrics of the song “The Sinking Feeling” by The The and the fact that it is 42 years old.

I for one bumped more on the tooth fairy part than the run of the mill jesus crap

That was a good read, ten points for who’s zoomin who! 👍🏾

Her skill at performative sincerity in the video before one realizes it’s all a troll is truly chilling!
