2022 was an upset and a good year at the polls for the DFL, largely on the strength of:
- Hysteria about abortion, whipped up after the SCOTUS overturned Roe.
- “Fully Funding Education” – a concept literally no DFLer could or would define.
- …that’s about it.
In terms of divisive issues that turn out Democrats in droves, the big kahunas of recent years? They can’t re-overturn Roe, re-legalize pot, re-sanctify stalking and Munchausens Syndrome, re-legalize same sex marriage – and they got literally everything they asked for in education, so the schools should be “Fully Funded”, whatever that is.
So – let’s do some predicting.
What will the the next issue the DFL uses to try to panic their herds of ill-informed, uncritical, gullible, emotion-driven hysterical voter base to the polls?
Leave ’em in the comments.
Saving buttsex, child trafficking and money laundering in Ukraine is also up in smoke.
I’m guessing it will be a full court press to get kiddies into the S&M business.
I remember Ass Prof PZ Meyers daughter was promoting beastiality a few years ago.
Maybe her time has come.
“Stay out of our kennels”
“Love is Love, Woof is Woof!”
There’s always the old reliable semi-automatic weapons. I predict a school shooting with multiple deaths around Thanksgiving or Christmas, just to wind things up before the DFL meets up in January.
It will, of course, involve someone who should be under care (lock and key), but that issue is uninteresting.
Chicago is equaling a major mass shooting every week. Hmm..
We have a problem — Chik-fil-A just hired a Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
I don’t want to boycott. Are we going to have to boycott?

lurking in the shadows (its getting significant chatter among anti-gun activists) out in California is a strong push to require proof of liability insurance with the purchase of every gun, with the requirement that the gun owner maintain that insurance until the verified sale of the gun. This is a back door gun registration system where the insurance company does all the recordkeeping.
And thanks to Skip Humphrey these same activists are discussing the idea of taxing guns the way they do cigarettes with the attendant lie that the taxes will be used to aid the victims of gun violence the way cigarette taxes are used to stop smoking.
pig
with Universal BackGround Checks for every gun transfer it is appropriate for tax purposes to consider each transfer a sale. Being a sale there is no reason for the State not to collect whatever sales taxes are appropriate at that point of sale.
If we’re gonna require insurance to use one Constitutional right, then requiring a means test to vote is cool.
Show me last years tax return with a net positive contribution to the treasury, and you get a ballot.
Or, we could go with a simple 1 question IQ test to vote:
“What is a woman?”
Giving the vote to 16 year olds & illegal aliens.
oooh! MMP that was a good one. i think, like the Netherlands, they will go after farms and meat. It’s for the climate and the children.
The next big upheaval the reprobates will commence won’t be degenerate sex, or pedophilia. It will be forcing a “cashless society”….it’s already starting.
Once your finances are completely digital, the WEF et. al. can turn your money on and off at will. They gave us a preview of what it will look like when Canada froze the assets of the truckers and their supporters.
That’s fine; fuck their fiat currency. Getting to my hard currency isn’t going to happen while I’m breathing.
It’s unreasonable to expect women, undocumented immigrants, seniors and persons of color to vote, whether in person or by absentee ballot. Too hard to obtain a ballot, too hard to complete it, too hard to get it timely returned, all of which combine to disenfranchise our most vulnerable citizens.
The solution will be a new system of voter registration by proxy. State your party preference to one of our helpful volunteers, we’ll enter your choice in the computer, we’ll cast your ballot for you. Totally honest, completely secure, easy, convenient and reliable. It’s a computer, what could go wrong?
Reparations. Get out your check books
Golfdoc, there may be reparations, but it won’t be done as explicitly as simply making out checks to black people. Instead it will be disguised as grants to the black community from the state or feds. The racism will be explicit, but the people getting the checks will be the people working for these NGO’s.
Carbon credits….based on your need as determined by…….. them. And determined and enforced by the fore mentioned universal currency, which I’m (really) afraid we’re close to experiencing….
Things I’ve never thought I’d say…..thank God for the feds and Andy Luger for stepping in and enforcing the law regardless of race, after our local career politicians won’t do for fear of being labeled racist, and also for the self-serving suckhole financial institutions who almost wrecked this economy, but will fight to the death at the thought of over-regulation involved with a universal currency.
MMP, your point is well taken. I believe there will be much grandstanding about reparations, stolen land, etc in order to play to the base. Kind of like “fully funding education.” It’s a vessel that can never be filled , so we need to keep priming the pump. The way Minnesotans as a whole (SITD fans excluded) keep bending over and taking it hard from the DFL I can’t imagine anything else.
Starbuck;
I remember that carbon credits scam, cooked up by Al Gore and his buddies at Goldman Sachs after Gore’s work of fiction to spread fear into the sheep. It’s fun to get the blank stares when you ask people how companies that are polluting, can purchase pieces of paper so that they can keep polluting, helps stop gloBULL warming.
If the finances of Minneapolis & Saint Paul turn out to be as bad as I think they are, post George Floyd and post covid, the DFL is going to find way to pipeline money from the rest of Minnesota into the twin cities.
I can imagine several ways that this could be done while maintaining the fiction that Minneapolis & Saint Paul remain self-funded.
DFL rule means Hennepin & Ramsey counties rule the rest of Minnesota.
The Third Amendment prohibits the federal government requiring private citizens to house and feed soldiers. It says nothing about undocumented immigrants. Prepare to receive ‘guests.’
