They're Not Dumb

Yesterday, we reported on the latest USA Today poll that had Joe Biden's approval rating down to 38%.  It had another interesting finding:  46% of Americans, including 16% of those who voted for him, said Biden was doing a worse job as president than they expected.  By a 7-to-1 margin, independent voters were particularly shocked by Biden's poor job performance. 

No doubt a lot of voters are struggling to understand a secretary of Homeland Security who opens the border rather than secures the border.  They're perplexed by an attorney general who orders the FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings. 

They're confused by a transportation secretary who obsesses over racist highways in the middle of a supply chain crisis.  They don't know what to make of a vice president who wants NASA to track the trees in your neighborhood for "environmental justice," whatever that is.

And then there's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who laughed at the idea that she should have a plan to lower energy prices. 

Many critics say, "These people must be really dumb."  No, they're not.  They know exactly what they're doing. 

There's a purpose behind the radical open borders agenda. 

There's a reason the left is talking about racist highways. 

And when it comes to energy, high prices are the goal.

The radical environmental movement has said for years that the only way Americans can be forced to depend on alternative energy sources is to make fossil fuels extremely expensive or just to get rid of them entirely. 

Don't take my word for it.  They've said it publicly.

• Barack Obama said his energy policies would cause electricity prices to "necessarily skyrocket" and would "bankrupt the coal industry." 
• Steven Chu, Obama's energy secretary, said our gas prices should be as high Europe's, which are around $7.00 a gallon.
• Hillary Clinton said she wanted to put coal miners "out of business." 
• Joe Biden said he wanted to phase out fossil fuels.

This is an intentional effort to wreck a vital industry, and struggling Americans with tight family budgets are just collateral damage for the left's radical agenda, which is all about socialism.  Again, they've said it themselves. 

• Saikat Chakrabarti, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's former chief of staff, said that "[The] Green New Deal . . . wasn't originally a climate thing at all. . . we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing." 
• Radical activist Naomi Klein said, "If you take climate change seriously, you do have to throw out the free-market playbook."
   

If you don't think this is intentional, just remember that under Donald Trump we were energy independent, and gas was 40% cheaper one year ago.
