A Letter From The Democratic National Commitee

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" - Virgil

“Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.” 
― T.S. Eliot

A Letter From The Democratic National Committee 

Why can’t we all just get along? If we got along, there would be no war. No hunger. No bad stuff.
Who could be against that, except Republicans?

Now, all we need to do is fill in the blank with what each of us means by bad stuff, and get rid of it, so we can all get along. All of us. And, should some of the stuff you wish to get rid of, get rid of stuff I wish to keep, no problem, we’ll just work it out. How? We just will.

If this seems vague, it’s well-intended. And good intentions can never go wrong. Because they’re good, you see. If they were bad intentions, you’d have something to worry about. But I assure you, that’s not what I mean.

The first step in this process will be to write a new law that says people need to get along.

​Did you catch that word “Need?” I wrote it that way because once it’s law, you “Need” to do it. If not, there will be consequences. What consequences? We’ll fill in the blank later. But, still—no worries—because I said something about good intentions, and good intentions being good, cannot be bad. This is the power of language.

"What if this new law is unconstitutional, though?"

​The answer to this is simple; hire judges who understand that the Constitution is a “Living document.” Meaning, it can mean whatever our judges say it means. That way they’re free to act according to their own wisdom, and not according to that musty old document, The Constitution. Which I completely respect. Let me be clear, me and the Founding Father are on the same page. Big time, in fact. Unless you disagree with my “Living document” thesis, in which case, the founding fathers were a bunch of slave-holding, racist, White men, and the Constitution “Needs” to be rewritten, so it says what I want it to say.


But, fear not! Remember, I have good intentions, which are good, and cannot be bad.

​If the fact that people, never, ever, in the history of the world, just got along, no problem. Once our new law, with the word “Need” becomes law, people will “Need” to get along. Or else! And, should you disagree, other words will be used like; Nazi, racist, White supremacist, Putin’s stooge, Deplorables, transphobe, homophobe, Islamaphobes, and, eventually, prisoner. But that last word only comes into play, if those other words don’t work. So, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Trust me.

Well, I hope that clarifies things? If not, just remember the words “Good intentions,” and everything will be A-OK!

​Sincerely, The Democratic National Committee
