America, baby.

You don’t even have to be following the news to know that the Democratic Party is flailing. Their polling has reached historic lows, and frankly that’s exactly what they deserve. It’s been discussed countless times by myself and so many others that their failures to deliver absolutely anything of substance to their voters will lead to people turning their back on them. Why wouldn’t they, when Democrats couldn’t even muster up the willpower to pass voting rights legislation that would help them stay in power and keep their districts from being gerrymandered out of existence? The American people did the job they were asked to do in electing them, and Democrats have done nothing for them in return.

But, enough of that same old discussion for the time being.

Lets talk about the consequences of their failures.

As we all know Democrats decided to allow the child tax credit to expire, plunging millions of children back into poverty and taking away the relief that parents desperately needed. You can’t drive down the road or walk down the grocery store aisle without noticing the staggering price hikes in the products we need simply to stay alive and function in society.
