She’s a moron. Doesn’t understand that the metaphor refers to a seemingly impossible achievement that’s within reach if one tries hard enough. Here’s a beautiful thread on someone who pulled themselves up by the bootstrap. My grandfather's dad abandoned him and his sister in New York after WWII. His mother had a nervous breakdown and was sent to a sanitarium, so he (7) was sent alone by train from NYC to Wyoming to work on a farm. Here's how that went: https://t.co/0mGqM8y2CI — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) February 6, 2020 He met a woman named LaRita—an Okie who grew up in the same abject poverty that he did. (She's totally gonna read these tweets later and be mad I'm telling people because people of that era didn't brag about coming from poverty—but clearly they should have.) — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) February 6, 2020 HOO BOY WHY AM I CRYING maybe don't write deeply emotional personal threads about your family when you have a fever/are sick in bed but let's keep going: He lived. They came home and settled in Pensacola to be near our family in New Orleans. — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) February 6, 2020 I know we aren't supposed to be so easily baited by the left but if there is something to be mad about, let's be mad at people who spread the lie that you can't DO or become ANYTHING you want in this country. Imagine how many children hear that today and believe it. — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) February 6, 2020

A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF RETARDATION... What an understatement! It looks like they're going to have to extend the left end of the bell curve for her. She's in a special place. I hope they have a blue bus to get her to and from the capitol building. CF Rebel
