ELECTION: Sad for our country

To you “Democrats” who are exalting over your “big victory.” Don’t hold your breath waiting for prices to go down and everything will be free. I did not hear any ideas from the left about how they were going to control prices other than blaming Trump when the price increases actually started under Biden due to his failed policies.

The left is already stating what their priorities will be. More impeachments and congressional hearings solely to punish the right for trying to control criminal illegals and keep Iran from getting and using nuclear weapons.

Medicare for all will be a priority, as will going back to the failed green energy conversions and opening the borders again to anyone and everyone with no vetting or criminal background checks. These policies will not control prices and make them go down, quite the contrary, prepare for out-of-control government spending and everything continuing to dramatically go up. Fraud in the immigrant communities will again be allowed to go unchecked as payment for their support of the left.

This time the left is going to do everything they can to hang onto power by electing more communists and radical Islamists to office. There is no longer any such thing as a conservative or blue dog Democrat. The left is unified with everyone pushing far left and if a Democrat doesn’t support that they will be replaced by a socialist democrat.

If you think this election was about lowering the price of gas or a pound of hamburger you are sadly mistaken. Prices and government control of everything is just going to rise rapidly. This election was the start of the transition of the United States to socialism and communism and it makes me truly sad.
