Because She's Sooooooooo Special!

Great News. Sweet "Mommy," a brown squirrel, undoubtedly from the northeastern United States, has ghosted a tell-all (with the aid of Jeremy Zilber and Yuliya Firsova) from which like-minded
nuts nut-gatherers can add clarity to their lives' missions. Originally entitled,
We're All Kinder and Smarter Than You, this ground-breaking training manual for gushing sentimentality, logic-free stereotyping, fatuous claims to moral superiority and 60's socialist myth is a must own!
Sorry, no, this is not a joke. Get a good whiff,
here. And here's a review by A. Allison lifted from the same site...
"Should you happen to be a Democrat, you're going to like this book. I liked it a lot. Mommy is a tufted-ear squirrel who embodies and makes visual all the good things Democrats like to think they do, like playing by the rules, treating everyone fairly, and sharing their toys. The picture book starts out, "Some Mommies are called Democrats," and follows a "Democrats do such-and-such. "just as Mommy does" pattern. Little lovable animals inhabit the very finely done colored-pencil illustrations, exemplifying abstract beliefs like tolerance and accessible health care. They are all smiles and benevolence, and Mommy beams upon them.
"As a running contrast to the positive scenes in the foreground of the detailed 2-page drawings are background scenes juxtaposing the heartlessness of non-Mommy like people and the woe of the poor. The elite characters are never named "Republican" but they're identifiable. Items like the newspaper the headline of which reads: "Tax Refund," carried by the cigar-smoking escort of a snooty woman totting a poodle, are dead giveaways. So is the representative multicultural-looking down-and-out young man who is barred from an expensive school, sleeps under a tree in the park, or looks in trash cans for dinner. Every Democrats' heartstrings will vibrate with joy as Zilbert picks all the acupuncture points for our pain and pleasure-like the reference to the 2000 election.
A very smart, enjoyable collaboration and highly recommended."
Word is, this is just the first of an extended illustrated series. A partial list of future titles; Little Cherry Chipmunk's First Abortion, Foxes and Eagles all Cheat, Snakes Won't Hurt Us If We Do As They Say, Strong Animals Are Dumb and Mean, Why Daddy Ran from the Toad and Mommy's Misunderstood Adventure with a Female Gopher.
No need to debate, just mount the pedestal, Democrats, act superior and call names.
