This analogy fails on several levels.
▪️The GOP already passed a budget that would limit federal spending by 1%/yr and raise the debt ceiling by $1.5T. So they’re agreeing to pay for and continue a slightly more fancy lobster dinner. But the Democrats aren’t satisfied with this dinner, they want a much more lavish one.
▪️The people running up the bill aren’t paying for it anyway. They take other people’s money to pay the bill. There’s no honor or responsibility in “paying the bill” in this analogy, it just means the lobster dinner will continue even more extravagantly with more of other people’s money.
▪️But the meme is right about one thing. If you or I tried to have a fancy dinner and force others to pay for it there would be criminal charges.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
