If "A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds", They Clearly Cannot Be Accused of Being Small Minded

 

Were it not for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all:

Left: Never accepted the results of 2016 election. Endlessly investigated Donald Trump based on false documents and impeached with frivolous and baseless charges.

Also Left: Donald Trump and all his supporters must graciously concede the 2020 election and permit us to move forward.

Left: Rioted for four years and both persecuted and prosecuted Donald Trump being in the White House, deeming him to be an illegitimate President installed solely through the nefarious machination of Russia.

Also Left: Those who supported President Trump need to accept the results of the 2020 election and come together in unity, because that is what we do as Americans!

Left: If you have nothing to hide, why should you ever worry about the government looking into your (fill in the blank)?

Also Left: It is outrageous that Donald Trump and his supporters should wish to investigate allegations of fraud or ask for recounts of ballots in the 2020 elections or otherwise question the declaration of the American Media.

Left: The Biden Transition must receive funding and office space immediately or else we will experience the total collapse of civilization! This delay is absolutely unprecedented in the history of presidential transitions!!

Also Left: (Sticks fingers in ears and completely ignores the fact that in 2000 the Bill Clinton Administration GSA did not release funds and office space to the Bush team until after December 13, 2000, on the grounds that the 2000 election remained in dispute.)

Fun Fact: Article 2 of the Constitution does not vest the power to anoint the winner of a presidential or any other federal elected position in CNN, FOX, the AP or indeed any other news agency. Indeed, by statute the Electors meet to cast their votes in the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December (December 14 in 2020). Even then, it is not until January 6 that a President elect is determined as per the Twentieth Amendment.

Bonus Fun Fact: There is no “Office of the President Elect”. Indeed, it was invented out of whole cloth by none other than one Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 who was widely ridiculed at the time for the affectation.

#DoubleStandardsOrNone (or, "It's Not Hypocrisy If We Do It!")

Donald Trump was blamed for closing down the economy of the United States.

Fun Fact: All closures were the result of executive action at the state and local level. Other than the borders, President Trump closed nothing.

Donald Trump was berated when he said he would hope to see the economy reopen by Easter. The Left lost its collective mind. He was excoriated for attempting to be a dictator and reminded in no uncertain terms that he didn't have the authority to tell the States what to do. Just like that, a bunch of Amendment X State's Rights advocates!

So, it is looking more and more inevitable that Joe Biden is going to wind up in the White House come January 20, 2021. He has promised to be a hard liner on COVID and do whatever it takes to stop this virus and free us once and for all. (Assuming, of course, today's announcement from Pfizer isn't used as a convenient excuse to declare victory and move on. Sorry, Andy Cuomo, a vaccine is a good thing regardless of whose administration is in power at the time. Or would you rather see more deaths just so Uncle Joe can receive the credit for being our savior? If so, perhaps we are in fact referring to the wrong brother as Fredo.)

Fully expecting Pfizer's vaccine will not turn out to be the silver bullet we're looking for, and it actually takes longer than from now to Inauguration Day to beat this thing down for good, and Good Ole Joe has no other choice but to impose a lockdown "for the good of the country", I cannot help but wonder if those on the Left will be consistent to their moral convictions and rail against his attempt to quash our freedoms through dictatorial fiat or revert to their true sycophantic (psychophantic?) colors and gush over how wonderful it is that we finally have a president who cares and we all have no choice but to fall in line and save millions of lives both here in America and around the world.

Sadly, my money is on option number two.

 

Dear Antifa Friends,

It appears the results of the 2020 General Election are not going to turn out to be as favorable as a substantial portion of the electorate was hoping. On behalf of many of us who will be new to this, I would like to tap in to your expertise that we have been observing over the past four years. I speak for many when I say that I am far from comfortable rioting in the streets, looting, vandalizing, committing arson and even murder, but your example appears to indicate such behavior is obligatory.

1. Dress - Is it acceptable to wear my business suit and a socially responsible mask to help minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus when peacefully protesting, or will it be necessary to purchase full Ninja garb?

    1a. - If I must purchase event specific garb, will that be tax deductible?

2. Accouterments - Many of us have limited or even no experience procuring Molotov cocktails and related equipment. Are you able to recommend reputable vendors where they might be purchased? Also, will sticks, rocks, and pallets of bricks continue to be provided in places of designated protest, or will we also need to make arrangements to obtain those?

    2a. - If it is necessary to supply our own instruments of mayhem, will those expenses also be tax deductible?

3. Lodging - Is it required to sleep with multiple strangers in close quarters in a tent pitched on the city sidewalks, or is it permissible to spend one’s days recuperating in the comfort of a Marriott owned or similar establishment?

    3a. - Please see 1a. and 2a. above.

4. Employment - Please advise on how to best retain gainful employment in order to feed, clothe, and house ourselves and our families as well as meet the many other financial obligations a responsible and productive citizen has in this society while also engaging in extended periods of peaceful protest. The vast majority of us have been led to believe it is necessary to report to work on a daily basis and perform one’s necessary duties in order to maintain a job, receive a pay check, and improve one’s fortunes. Your example suggests this is not necessarily the case. I hope so, as I personally would sorely lament the loss of my Country Club membership.

    4a. - Is reliable valet parking typically available at riot venues? It would be distressing to return from an exhausting night on the streets fighting for The Cause only to discover the Bentley had been taken for a joy ride or simply scratched.

Thank you so much in advance for your assistance in these matters. Perhaps we can do this all over again in another four years.

Wait, I’m sorry. I forgot the struggle never ends.

Faithfully Yours,

The Other Half Of The Country
