Horrors, it looks like my youngest granddaughter is a Democrat!
At least she sure is acting like a Democrat.
Let me count the ways. Immature. Self-centered. Unrealistic.
These characteristics tend to produce in her an across-the-board inability to accept reality.
This manifests itself in several ways.
As relayed by my son just the other day, while on a return trip from Hershey, granddaughter ‘Nessa wanted to eat, right now. It mattered not that there was nothing but fields or mountains on either side of the road.
To repeat. She was hungry and wanted to eat immediately if not sooner.
Having it pointed out to her that there were absolutely no restaurants handy – notably even by her 4-year-old sister (a Republican?) – didn’t deter the youngest granddaughter from demanding instant gratification.
Think of all the screaming Democrats who right now have lengthy want lists that include having their student loans forgiven, all guns removed from the hands of law-abiding citizens, and also want more government handout checks to cover the effects of rampant inflation on things ranging from gasoline to food to housing.
On the last, the reality that there is no ability for the government to fund such things, at least not without turning the current inflation into runaway hyperinflation, does not intrude on their rants.
In a similar vein, our Democrat-in-training granddaughter has problems accepting good advice from wise elders.
Example: Last week it was strongly urged that she visit the restroom with grandma before leaving a restaurant. No. No. No and no.
Not five minutes after leaving this restaurant, which had what I’m sure were fine accommodations for such things, the little Democrat decided she had to go. Right now. Again, immediately if not sooner.
And once again, the slightly older granddaughter assured us that when the younger sister says “right now” she means in the next 30 seconds or so. Fortunately there was a deserted road nearby.
This little Democrat is consistent if nothing else on her demand for immediate gratification.
She wants television shows – right now – that aren’t currently airing.
She wants the doll or toy her sister currently is playing with – right now.
Sharing? That’s for you Republicans.
Tell her to clean up the mess she has just made and it’s a fool’s errand. Again, that’s for Republicans to worry about.
Democrats count on the government to make goods and services magically appear for them. This little Democrat still believes in fairies. But she will learn.
Some would argue that since this little leftist is a mere 3-years-old we are experiencing the terrible twos becoming the trying threes, with frustrating fours on the doorstep.
But aging didn’t cure the other Democrats, did it? You think Clueless Joe Biden has become more enlightened with age?
Still, I’m hoping that by the time our granddaughter is 18, and able to vote for Democrats, assuming we still have elections, some of these childish behaviors will have fallen by the wayside.
If not, well, she will find many kindred spirits in the Democratic Party.
