Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he isn’t buying all that Democratic “joy” on display at this past week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago during a Sunday appearance with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union.
During their conversation, Tapper brought up the “disciplined” and “well-produced” DNC this week that, as the journalist put it, “conveyed patriotism and unity.” Graham didn’t see it that way.
“Well, I didn’t see what you saw,” Graham told Tapper with a laugh. “If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults.”
“Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car,” he continued. “They’re not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They’re not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting, and this whole joy love fest doesn’t exist in the real world.”
To bolster his claim, Graham pointed to the gas prices, the state of the border, and inflation during Donald Trump’s presidency when “the world was not on fire.”
He’s either lying or what he said gives us a look into his shitty perspective of the world. Either way such a miserable and pathetic existence.

Known by the male escorts around DC as “Lady G”, so I’ve heard.

Seems like the problem with the republicans, or any religious conservative for that matter, is that because their rules (that they chose to follow) don’t allow them to have fun, or that theyre dead inside as a result of those rules, no one else is allowed to live a live outside of those rules.
That explains the republican mindset so well. If joy doesn’t exist in the world, you’re not taking it from others when you spread your misery.
I mean, he’s not wrong. (And I say that as someone who despises him.)
Most people don’t find skyrocketing rent, gas, electricity, and grocery costs to be particularly joyful. Democrats know this, which is why they’re making the election more about memes than the record of Joe Biden as president.
Call me when Kamala finds the fortitude to put an actual platform on her website.
The inevitable result of republican policies.
Uh-oh, the War on Christmas has claimed Lindsay Graham as its latest victim!
First time I have ever agreed with this bastard.
true, if you’re Lindsey Graham
Also true if he is talking about Joy the character from Pixar’s Inside Out
The problem with this corrosive, inflexible conservative narrative, is that these joyless assholes try and impose themselves politically and on everybody.
This feels relevant:
