Loyal campaigners

Democrats are working for the Trump campaign as always.

When normal people can’t run a business downtown because of homeless criminals, they think “If this is democracy, we need a king.”

When normal people have to fix vandalism caused by homeless criminals or evacuate from fires caused by homeless criminals, they think “If this is democracy, we need a king.”

When normal people can’t get to work because protesters are clogging the streets, they think “If this is democracy, we need a king.”

I hope the Democrat leaders and mayors and governors are well paid for their excellent Trump campaign work.

History: I learned how this works in the ’60s when I was a hippie idiot protesting the Vietnam war. We were well organized and prepared, trained to be nonviolent. We carpooled to a campaign speech by George Wallace in Toledo. Wallace was protected by a bulletproof shield, which he should have kept in ’72. We infiltrated the crowd with our signs and slogans. Wallace loved having us there. He pointed us out as disloyal hippies. Eventually we migrated into one section and stopped being noisy. As I walked up to the backup area, the normal people frowned at me and said “There goes another Commie.”

Afterward I realized that those normal people were protesting the establishment MORE EFFECTIVELY by choosing Wallace instead of the two establishment candidates. Humphrey wanted to keep the war going, and Nixon promised to end it but was known as a liar and betrayer. Of course he did betray his promises, and then surrendered the entire country to China after China had soundly defeated us.

The realization was reinforced when our group went out to campaign for Batzler, a local congressional candidate who was openly PRO-WAR. Our leader directed us to support Batzler because he was a Democrat. We weren’t opposing anything, we were just helping the D team to place its brand on the war.

Out of curiosity I looked up Batzler, who died in 2016. He had served as an intelligence officer in WW2. He lost badly to Delbert Latta, the long-time rep from Bowling Green. Latta was a decent politician who tried to serve the economic interests of the area. He was briefly famous in the Watergate show trial. Marcy Kaptur, another decent politician of opposite ideology, was Latta’s friend and eulogized him when he died, also in 2016.
