OPINION:
Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker called for fellow Dems to get in the streets, get in the MAGAs’ faces, get out and about and leave no Republican stone unturned in the hunt to eradicate all things President Donald Trump. He called it “mass protests” and “disruptions.” He meant: Do whatever it takes to squash the Trump influences.
Marxists, unite!
“Never before in my life,” he said, while delivering remarks in New Hampshire at a Democrat Party dinner, The Hill reported, “have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now.”
He went on: “Those Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.”
He went on: “They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have.”
And brick.
It was implied.
He went on: “We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”
Easy there, J.B.
Somebody give that man a Xanax. With accompanying shots of whiskey.
Today’s Democrats are so high-strung from Trump Derangement Syndrome they need triple doses of depressants just to keep their angry spittle from drooling.
Isn’t this a Nancy Pelosi “summer of resistance” program all over again?
Or a Maxine Waters-like cry for anti-Trumpsters to “get more confrontational” and “stay on the street” — whatever it takes to stop the MAGA march?
Or a Chuck Schumer not-so-veiled unleashing of “whirlwind” against a couple of U.S. Supreme Court justices?
Democrats need some new material.
Less castigating and punishing.
More logical persuasion and principled argument.
“We will never join so many Republicans in the special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards,” Pritzker also said, The Hill reported. “We will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors.”
Geesh. And this is the guy of whom The Washington Post just wrote, “JB Pritzker’s speech in New Hampshire drives presidential campaign buzz.” Yikes. He’s someone who could make Joe Biden appear sensible.
It all gives rise to a question of serious debate: What’s the difference between a Democrat and an insane asylum patient?
It’s getting more and more difficult to tell.
