As evidenced by the marathon CNN town hall on climate change Wednesday, the field of Democrat candidates for that party’s 2020 nomination has a laundry list of things that they believe need to be banned in order to save the world from a fiery demise that will occur anywhere from 14 months to 50 years from now (depending on which panicked estimate you believe).
Politico framed the 2020 Democrat rush to “ban all the things” this way:
Democrats’ verbal targeting of everything from plastic straws to cheeseburgers is stoking fears among anti-Trump forces that they’re unwittingly playing into Republican culture wars https://t.co/tMvWkJgJhR

Does that sound a lot like “Republicans pounce”? Because that’s what it sounds like:
This headline is a masterpiece. Democrats targeting common everyday things in America might play into the *REPUBLICAN CULTURE WAR* https://t.co/ARoca8pQgH

I love when we get these “we better keep our dumbass ideas quiet” articles after almost every Dem candidate lets their certifiable lunacy out of the bag. https://t.co/tGkqoVcI0a

This is an amazing way to say Dems hair-brained schemes are going to turn off voters. https://t.co/JOPS6cNUnn

And by “pounce” Politico means “win the 2020 election if the Dems don’t stop sounding so unhinged.”
“Republican culture wars.”
When the loonies on the Dem side are running on government-mandated veganism and outlawing cars, air travel and electricity.

So you're just going to pretend that Senator Warren did not address that in the climate forum? Why?? Your lack of honesty is deplorable.

Wait, the Democrats launch a war on straws and cheeseburgers, but these are "Republican culture wars"??

If Democrats don’t know republicans will “pounce” by now, there’s no help for them. I mean, their media allies have pounded the point for decades now. https://t.co/6hTAsnNQBV

Showing their true colors is definitely not good for their image

Every time the Democrat candidates’ masks slip, so do their chances of winning next year, and the media knows that.
