Where is Sesame Street

when we need it? I’m specifically talking about The Count. As you may recall, Sesame Street always featured a number and at the end of the show certain letters and numbers were credited as “sponsors.”

It appears that the Republican Party has a dire need and should bring on The Count as a consultant for an exorbitant sum.

They’re learning the number 1. Except they still think the First Amendment means MAGA gets to say and do whatever it wants (see Jan. 6) and no-one else does. That needs a lot of work. When one thinks that half the country are heathens and domestic terrorists, they’ve got another numbers problem, as in convincing more voters to elect them.

Of late they’ve been having issues with the number 4. As in the Fourth Amendment, illegal search and seizure. ICE and Border Patrol activities have been brutally killing Americans while running amok in the greater (and great) Twin Cities area.

Now, after Saturday’s violent murder of protester Alex Pretti, a firestorm has erupted over the number 2. Now, Republicans have been flogging ability to bear arms anywhere, at any time, for any purpose. Now MAGA Chief Trump says protesters aren’t allowed to legally carry a weapon on the streets. Wait, wasn’t that hailed on Jan. 6’s insurrection? If I, who’s never had or wanted a firearm, am confused, imagine the MAGA gun devotees who’ve done everything to be able to bring their guns to stores and to church. The NRA is flexing its weakening muscle, but a lot of MAGA voters will dump Trump in a heartbeat if he disappoints them on his newest take on the Number 2.

Aside from numeric advice, I’ve some political advice for MAGA faithfuls. NEVER elect a politician who says his/her national platform is “whatever I say it is.” All you get is guns one day, no guns the next; tariffs one day; triple the next and none the following day. And Tylenol causes autism, y’know. Don’t even talk to me about mifepristone.

Look at the Constitution, MAGA. What hill are you willing to die on for Trump? Think about it. Yours in peace and justice, Dee
