In Minnesotistan a Democrat candidate for the U.S. senate cunningly dodges a question
When a candidate for high office is asked a straightforward question about his or her position on a key issue and repeatedly dodges, refusing to answer the question and instead spouting some canned talking-point, what does that tell ya, unequivocally?
As should be screamingly obvious to everyone, it tells you the candidate KNOWS most voters don't like that party's true position on the issue. So the candidate repeatedly refuses to answer the question. And most of the time the "reporter" doesn't press the point, since the Media loves Democrats and hates conservatives.
Example # infinity: In the Dem-ruled shithole of Minnesota a communist dipshit named Peggy Flannigan is running for the U.S. senate. Peggy's a loyal Democrat who embraces every lunatic policy of that totally fucked-up party. Like, Minnesota law does not set a minimum age for a kid to get sex-change surgery.
So...a friendly female CNN talking-head interviewed Peggy on live TV, and the friendly female from normally-Dem-fellating CNN asked Peggy a simple, straightforward question. Now watch Peggy's eyes as she refuses to answer:
Interviewer: "Minnesota law does not set a minimum age for gender affirming care. Do you believe there should be one?"
Right away you know the female CNN interviewer is pro-Dem because she uses the phrase ordered by the Partei--"gender-affirming healthcare"--instead of "sex-change surgery." Here's how Dem candidate Peggy responded:
"I mean, I believe what we need to do is make sure people have access, uh, to health care. Frankly that's one of the reasons, you know, why I've run so hard on Medicare for all, uh, and making sure that gender-affirming care is available to all.
Note that phrasing again: "gender-affirming health care." It is neither.
CNN: Should there be an age limit?
Peggy: Uh, I think gender-affirming care is part of health care. People need access to it for health care. I think our law as it stands [i.e. no minimum age limit to chop off healthy body parts], uh, is, is a good law I've supported in the past. But I think the real question...
Note Peggy insists that viewers agree with her that sex-change surgery is "health care," and that "people need access to health care." No one argues with the second part. The argument is whether sex-change surgery is "health care." What Peggy did was to change the attention of viewers away from the actual question asked to one that voters clearly agree with.
...uh, that people are struggling with is, if I go to the doctor, how am I going to pay that bill? Um, you know, when folks have $16,000 deductibles, it's untenable for people. So that is the issue, uh, surrounding healthcare I hear from Minnesotans all across the state.
CNN: "Okay, so you support the law as is, no limit. So if a 10-year-old wanted it, you would be okay with that."
Peggy did NOT expect to get that follow-up question!
Peggy: "Let me be clear. I want to be...I want to be clear that these, you know, medical decisions absolutely should be made between a, a family and their doctor.
This is a classic: The position of the Democrat Partei [sic]--which is the law in every Dem-ruled shithole state--is that there's no minimum age for chopping healthy body parts off a mentally ill child. Since this strikes most adults as clearly insane, Democrat candidates have been coached to avoid answering that question, by instead saying something most people agree with: that "medical decisions should be between a family (presumably parents?) and 'their' doctor."
SO let's chase down this bullshit Dem "logic" and see where it leads, eh? Suppose 12-year-old Susie says "I feel uncomfortable having breasts, cuz I could get breast cancer. I want to have mine removed."
If the family found a doctor willing to perform that operation, is that reasonable?
Democrat logic: "Absolutely! Bravo to the girl for having the courage to eliminate a source of anxiety!"
Conservative: "Obviously breast cancer is scary and can be fatal, but the incidence is 132.5 per 100,000. For those who can't do math, that's 1.325 out of a thousand, or a bit less than the chances of dying in a car accident. You haven't stopped riding in cars, right? But you're okay with having your kid's breasts removed? Seems pretty irrational to me.
Back in the 1950s to 1960s, when older women demonstrated unusual mental behavior, a chunk of the "medical community" decided that could be "fixed" by a simple procedure called a "lobotomy," which involved inserting a hooked cutter thru the corner of the eye and cutting a connection between the "frontal lobe" and the rest of the brain.
For those who don't get it: "Life-dysphoria, citizen? The cure is simple: cut off the parts that make you feel dysphoria."
Ring any bells?
The patient immediate calms down--totally. The body still lives but no one's really "in there" any longer. And yet for years this was a totally accepted procedure by "the medical community." Until rational people realized it was insane.
Sex-change surgery is the new lobotomy--and the insanity will only end when the cost to settle the lawsuits overcome the profits.
Most Democrats strike me as totally disconnected from reality. Fucked in the head. Their refusal to answer simple questions tells you they know the Partei's position is insane.
Imagine the average IQ of a person who would vote for Peggy--and those just like her. And yet in Minnesotistan Peggy will win--because most voters are hard-core Democrats.
No state lets kids under 16 drive, buy tobacco or alcohol or get a tattoo, yet in Democrat-ruled shitholes state law allows doctors to mutilate a kid's healthy body. To repeat: sex-change surgery at any age has the full support of Democrat-imposed law in that moronic (but oh-so-woke) state.
So Peggy dodges, dodges, dodges, then bleats "Let me be clear, I want to be clear." Bitch, no one tried to stop you from being clear. You were the one who changed the subject, refusing to answer the simple, direct question. Like all Democrats you blew a cloud of smoke to hide your refusal to answer the question asked. But good Democrats never noticed--because they agree with you and your insane Partei [sic].
"Gender-affirming health-care" is a perfect example of Orwellian 'newspeak.'" (If you're not familiar, look it up.)
If your genitalia doesn't affect your gender, how is cutting 'em off "gender affirming care"?
Spoiler: In November the insane Democrat shitheads will win a majority in the House, and likely a tie in the senate. But because the senate is full of shithead RINOs who support Dem policies, that will give the Dems an effective majority in that chamber as well.
At that point the only laws congress will pass will be those that benefit the Democrat Partei. It won't be possible to pass any law that will benefit the United States.
As the marvelous Douglas Adams wrote decades ago: "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
