ELI5 sounds like it might be a federal job classification level, or maybe a fifth-generation robot, or even yet another made-up gender.
But, no, it’s slang shorthand for Explain Like I’m 5, a concept of simplifying complex explanations so as to make topics understandable, even to someone very young and naive.
It seems Democrats need a lot of ELI5 lessons to help them comprehend why the nation voted for President Donald Trump and his campaign promise to cut federal government spending.
Oh, the leftists are petulant that anyone might question such extreme affronts as using taxpayers dollars to pay college tuition for a terrorist, or funding various transgender causes with large amounts of tax revenues, or treating illegal immigrants like visiting royalty while American citizens in North Carolina sleep in tents after a national disaster.
Trump orders a halt to DEI absurdities, or misusing FEMA money, and career leftist bureaucrats try their typical end runs to slip the money to their pet causes regardless.
It is obvious from the past election that the voting populace bought what Trump was selling. It’s time for Democrats to wake up and the smell the coffee, which in their case would be about $50 a cup as long as it was on the taxpayers’ dime.
Pay attention, kids (Democrats), and try to comprehend. We’ve dumbed it down just for you.
Imagine your mommy and daddy worked making toys, but they didn’t like the way the owner of the factory ran things, They wanted more toys shipped to gender-confused types, or illegal immigrants. So, on their own, they sneaked toys out of the shop to give away and, even worse, they broke into the accounting department and stole a bunch of blank checks so that they could hand out money to the people they perceived to be in need.
Is this OK, kids?
Or, try this one. Mommy and daddy collected money from the public under the guise of helping feed and clothe the poor. But, instead, mommy and daddy only gave the money to families that voted for Cackling Kamala Harris and not to any families that voted for Trump?
Does this sound fair, kids.
One more point to ponder. Mommy and daddy have strict rules for you kids. You can’t say mean things. You have to follow the law. You have to answer any questions they choose to ask you, at any time. You are expected to help around the house and treat others with respect. And you are always expected to tell the truth. Yet mommy and daddy call Trump and his supporters Nazis, deplorables, and bitter folks clinging to guns and religion. They scream Fxxk Trump. Mommy and daddy operate in an information vacuum when you ask them questions – deny, deny, deny. They say the law doesn’t apply to them when they decide it doesn’t work for their agenda. Mommy and daddy haven’t cleaned the house since Obama was president and they lie about things ranging from marital fidelity to their income taxes.
Hard to accept as fair, right, kids?
Maybe it’s time for the kids in these examples to demand an end to this ongoing hypocrisy, or else find new parents.
Maybe it’s time for the nation just to skip step one and find new Democrat lawmakers.
