Kamala Harris’s recent ad on social media tries — and fails — to explain how she would stop inflation. Harris would somehow fight big corporations that “rip us off.” We are to believe that these unexplained rip-offs somehow cause inflation instead of the federal government printing trillions of dollars. Democrat Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania uses the same phrase in his ads, thus indicating that the references to rip-offs have been conceived, vetted, approved, and coordinated at the highest Democrat levels. “Rip-off” threatens to overtake “joy” as the leading coordinated Democrat buzzword. “Rip-off” has apparently overtaken COVID, Putin, the “supply chain,” “greed,” and cereal box tampering as the leading cause of inflation.
Calling something a “rip-off” amounts to an accusation of actual criminal conduct. Yet the Justice Department of the Biden/Harris administration has failed to prosecute any such crimes.
The phrase is slang, originating in prisons decades ago. That the Democrats would script such slang as a phony explanation for inflation reveals their contempt for their own voting base. The Democrats have a vested interest in keeping their own base ignorant of the cause of inflation.
Ronald Reagan lamented that we tend to blame the man who places the price tag on the final product on the store shelf, forgetting that he too is a victim of inflation. The Democrats are not content merely to blame the store owner. They must accuse these sellers of some crime in order to stoke the Democrat base. Reagan used his pulpit in the White House to educate us on the cause of inflation. Today’s Democrats create inflation and then enflame their followers by blaming their opponents. Ignorance and rage are necessary in order for the Democrats to retain power.
The Casey ads do not even bother to tie the alleged rip-offs to inflation or anything else. They simply say that Casey’s Republican opponent will help corporations “rip you off.” They do not say how or in what context. The viewer must assume that corporations are committing unknown crimes and accept, without evidence, that the Republicans are guilty too.
