We finally caught a break. For us Trumpers, conservatives, and other outliers, its our lucky day; we finally have a campaign issue that can break through and stop the Democrat momentum after the Roe v. Wade decision. Biden has made a serious misstep in forgiving $10,000 of student debt. There are so many really angry people that it has already had an effect. Those who have struggled with college debt and have paid it over the years with great effort are so angry that someone else is getting the help they didnt, it could swing the electorate to us.

The rationale for this is obvious and something we have always understood: you cant help some people without making everyone else angry. That is the way it works and it behooves us to remember it. Help as few people as possible. And if you do help your friends and political allies, make sure that it is as under the table as possible. This should be the unwritten rule of our party. If everyone feels that the government is treating everybody badly, then we are all in the same boat, and we can accept that as the way it is and the way it will always be. If you are going to help some people and leave others out, you are doomed to electoral defeat.

Now if your first impulse is that this isnt the golden rule or this isnt very Christian like, let that pass without further thought. This isnt about the golden rule or Christian values, its about getting elected and reaping the benefits thereof. After all we live in a capitalist society and there is nothing in the rule book that says it cant apply to politics. What we need to do is scrounge up some more of these issues and put them on the front page. It always works.

Our objective is clear; We do not want to stop our progress now. We have been really successful these past couple of years in getting our agenda through state legislatures. It would be terrible if we were stopped now. There is much left to do such as prohibiting same sex marriage, starving the public schools of funds, reducing tenure in our public universities to those of our own political persuasion, privatizing Title XIX, reducing unemployment benefits again to half, etc. As you can see, we have much left to do and this is the time to jump on it. So once again, be thankful we have this opportunity when such a large number of people are angry at the president for helping only some of us and not everyone.
