Democrats are running America into the dirt, but trying to distract voters by telling them to lower their sights and standards. This administration gets more like the Carter tenure every day. Greg Gutfeld elucidates.

 

Gutfeld: Welcome to the decade of lower expectations, where Joe Biden hears applause when he makes it thru lunch without leaving his teeth stuck in a sandwich. Low expectations, it’s the new black.

First, there’s San Francisco. Where the city paper asks, earnestly, should residents and businesses tolerate burglaries as a part of city living, and focus on barricading homes? Fair question. The thing about burglars – they’re probably just looking for bread, as AOC once said about hordes of organized retail looters.

You remember the riots, right? Hundreds of looters running out of stores, with loaves of sourdough in boxes, that for some reason had Nike logos on them. Maybe that’s why car theft is soaring in San Francisco.  There might be bread in there. That’s why murder is up.  People are foolishly defending bread.

And if you can’t tolerate that, maybe it’s you who’s the problem. What do you have against theft? Do you have property privilege? Don’t you see that you having that wallet, lords over that man with the knife, who doesn’t have a wallet? But I guess that’s what they mean by reimagining public safety:  criminals don’t rob people.  People have stuff that needs robbing.

Meanwhile, the media has taken the low expectation bar to a new low. They point out that rising inflation is really a good thing! So get used to it. It’s the exact thing I used to tell myself back in college when the rash kept returning. MSNBC tried vainly to explain why inflation “is a good thing,” but less people bought it than tickets to see the movie “Cats.” They explain that Americans can only pay more for heating oil, gas, and food – if they first have more money!! Except that all that printed money makes it worth less – requiring you to spend more of it for the same stuff…

But even Biden’s chief of staff admits things are looking bad. I wonder if Ron Klain thinks it’s been a rough and tough year. Klain: “It’s been a rough and tough year.  And we knew it would be, president Biden has said this all the time, we’re in a year-long effort, to dig out of the holes we were left.”

Who do you think would win the Presidency?

Yeah, the holes. They’re digging out of holes. No, they just dug them deeper. And where there weren’t any holes, like the energy sector, they went out and dug new ones. So that’s the scam. Run the country into the ground, even under the ground – cuz they’re not affected. It’s all on you, and you better suck it up. Unless, in a year, you go to polls, and treat them all like dirt.
