It's Only Going To Get Worserer

Last week I wrote about how the campaigns for the November elections were going to get worse.

It’s only been a week and it’s already gotten worse.

The Harris campaign has cranked up the crazy by borrowing a lesson from past campaigns against Trump and piled one lie on top of another, making claims that smack so much of Hillary’s 2016 campaign misinformation and SloJoe’s 2020 campaign of nonsense.

Some of my not-so-favorites from some recent Harris campaign ads:

Trump is going to impose a 20% sales tax on everything which will bankrupt the poor and burden the middle class.

He’s going to ban abortion across the board with no exceptions.

He supports Project 2025 which the Harris ads claim will destroy democracy in the US. Neither Trump or Vance support it, something even CNN has verified.

He’ll cut or eliminate Social Security and leave millions of elderly destitute. This is also something CNN debunked along with Trump’s alleged support of Project 2025 goals. (You know it's bad when even CNN is slamming the Harris campaign's prevarications.)

And then there’s some of the same type of campaign ad lies going on in our local gubernatorial race, with Joyce Craig’s campaign digging up all kinds of things from speeches made by her GOP opponent decades ago but ignoring speeches or statements or votes made since then that disproves those claims. They also make claims about how Craig did such a wonderful job as the mayor of Manchester, NH even though she tried to raise taxes every year, mishandled the homelessness problems plaguing the city while also managing to wrangle a substantial pay raise for herself.

Am I being partisan about this?

Yes. Absolutely. I see what the Harris/Walz campaign has in store for our nation and I see the parallels to the old and long dead Soviet Union, which died for a good reason.

At the state level I see the Democrats trying to turn New Hampshire into a version of Massachusetts and leftist Vermont.

I have no doubt it’s going to get even worserer...
