Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg comes out for Sado-socialism, ethos of the Biden Junta.
“The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last month, “the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.” That evoked a response from U.S. Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.).
“So you’re saying the more pain we have, the more benefit we’re going to get?” the congressman asked.
“Of course—no,” said Buttigieg with a laugh.
“I think that’s what I heard you say,” countered Gimenez, who later tweeted, “the more pain Americans felt, the better for electric vehicles. It’s an evil way of governing.” Representative Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) ironically added, “the more pain Americans are experiencing, the better it is for our agenda,” and, according to Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), “the cruelty is the point.”
These three are on to something, and several back stories are playing out here.
The late C. S. Lewis exposed the trick of saying “we” when the speaker really means “you.” This empowers the speaker to put down others while pretending to display self-criticism. That is the dynamic going on with Pete Buttigieg, who is, as CNN described him in 2019, “a gay Christian” who is “driving the religious right nuts.”
As a man who often speaks “at length about his faith,” Buttigieg is surely familiar with the empirically verifiable Christian doctrine that human beings are deeply flawed. In the socialist view, however, human flaws and vices somehow disappear when someone is elected to public office or employed by the government. In fact, their flaws and vices don’t disappear, and access to the levers of government power, with little or no accountability, can easily amplify them.
this is how Tyrants rules – this is NOT a Democracy anymore, and we need to stop this NOW
