When faced with the possible return of President Donald Trump, the current agenda of the Democratic Party is summed up simply as “We had to destroy democracy to save it.”
The effort shares a common theme: any means necessary are justified to prevent the people from choosing their own president, given the fear that a majority might vote to elect Donald Trump.
Sometimes the anti-democratic paranoia has been outsourced to state and local officials and prosecutors to erase Trump from the primary and likely general election ballots as well.
One unelected official in Maine, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, is a Democrat, an official never elected by the people, and a non-lawyer rendering a legal edict. Yet she has judged Trump guilty of “insurrection.”
And presto, she erased his name from the state’s ballot.
Yet Trump was never charged, much less convicted, of “insurrection.”
The statute Bellows cites is a post-Civil War clause of the 14th Amendment. It was passed over a century and a half ago. It was never intended to be used in an election year by an opposition party to disbar a rival presidential candidate.
In the earlier case of Colorado, the all-Democrat Supreme Court, in a 4-3 vote, took Trump off the ballot.
In sum, just five officials in two states have taken away the rights of some 7 million Americans to vote for the president of their choice.
Note that Trump continues to lead incumbent Joe Biden in the polls.
Sometimes, indictments are preferred to prevent Americans from voting for or against Trump.
Currently, four leftist prosecutors—three state and one federal—have indicted Trump.
They are petitioning courts to accelerate the usually lethargic legal process to ensure Trump is tied up in Atlanta, Miami, New York, and Washington, D.C., courtrooms nonstop during the 2024 election cycle.
Their aim is to keep Trump from campaigning, as he faces four left-wing prosecutors, four liberal judges, and four or five overwhelmingly Democratic jury pools.
Yet all the indictments are increasingly clouded in controversy, if not outright scandal.
Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis campaigned on promises to get Trump. She now faces allegations that she outsourced the prosecution to an unqualified personal injury lawyer—her current stealth boyfriend who was paid handsomely by Willis’s office and traveled on pricey junkets with her.
New York partisan attorney general Letitia James likewise sought office on promises to destroy Trump.
She preposterously claims Trump overvalued his real estate collateral to a bank. Yet it eagerly made the loan, profited from it, and had no complaints given that Trump paid off the principle and interest as required.
Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg is even more desperate. He is now prosecuting Trump for campaign finance violations from nearly a decade ago, claiming a nondisclosure agreement with a purported sexual liaison somehow counts as a campaign violation.
Federal special prosecutor Jack Smith claims Trump should be convicted of improperly removing classified documents after leaving office. In the past, such disagreements over presidential papers were resolved bureaucratically.
Joe Biden, for example, improperly took out classified files after leaving the Senate and vice presidency and stored them in unsecure locations for over a decade.
All of these prosecutors are unapologetic anti-Trump progressives.
Some have communicated with the White House legal eagles, even though Joe Biden is likely to face Trump in the November election.
Some prosecutors are themselves facing controversies, if not scandals. Some wish to synchronize their drawn-out investigations and indictments to hinder the Trump reelection effort.
At other times, the effort to neuter Trump is waged by his rival Biden himself.
He has hammered Trump as an insurrectionist and guilty of a number of egregious crimes against democracy—even as Biden’s own Attorney General has appointed a special counsel to try Trump on just those federal charges concerning the January 6 demonstrations, a dead horse that Biden periodically still beats to death to scare voters.
Biden periodically smears half of America who supported or voted for Trump as “ultra-Maga” extremists and “semi-fascists” who would destroy democracy.
Yet the more Biden and the Left weaponize the judicial system to prevent Trump from running, and the more Biden screams and yells that Trump supporters are anti-American and anti-democratic, the more Trump soars in the polls while Biden sinks.
The left privately knows that its historically unprecedented strangulation of democracy is increasing Trump’s popularity. But like an addict, it cannot quit its Trump fix.
In sum, the Left is creating historic, anti-democratic precedents that will someday boomerang on Democrats should Republicans win the November election and follow the new Democrat model of extra-legal politics.
Democrats are tearing apart the country in a manner not seen since the Civil War era—apparently convinced democracy cannot be trusted and so itself must be sacrificed as the price of destroying Donald Trump.
Ugly Sid says
JRB is a disgraced thief, an embarrassment, and an unconscionable impediment to the legitimate conduct of our government’s business.
An honorable man could not be in his position.
We are stuck with him. Because our Constitutional system has fallen to cronyism. His pals in the Senate would see the pillars of our honor and traditions fall before, heaven forbid, they have to fulfill their oaths of allegiance to us and our country.
We are finding that the serious people whom we need are irresolute and our hopes are pinned on the outsider, the uncouth white guy from Queens.
Bless him.
J.J. Sefton says
“In sum, the Left is creating historic, anti-democratic precedents that will someday boomerang on Democrats should Republicans win the November election and follow the new Democrat model of extra-legal politics.”
Huge fan of Dr. Hansen, but this will never happen in a billion billion years. Even If the GOP were not confederates with the Globalists and a Kabuki theatre opposition party, they would play by the rules even as the Left rips up the rule book, tears up the playing field and dynamites the stadium.
We are permanently divided with the Left now seeking to cement absolute power over us forever. To even think they will allow us to win 2024 without rigging it ahead of time is living in denial. Worse, to not realize what will happen should Trump actually beat what will be an even bigger cheat than 2020.
Kasandra says
This won’t happen because the Left effectively controls all of our major institutions and, especially, the media. If our media were simply neutral, Biden could never have been elected. He’s been well know for decades as being dishonest (nearly expelled from law school for plagiarism), corrupt (search: “Senator from MBNA”), and not too bright (too many sources and example to cite). His severe mental decline had been well known (but ignored by the media) in 2020. Against this you’ve had the media’s jihad against Trump since he came down the escalator. Plus, our Left-controlled institutions are self-replicating and there is no possibility of reclaiming any of them in the near-term future. So they may “someday boomerang” but I won’t be around to see it.
Stephen says
This is why 10million illeagls have been let into the country, the left will figure (or most likley has already figured out) a way they can vote then scare them to vote for them ….
Who’s going to vote for someone that will apply the law … like Trump
TRex says
If the left takes control of all three branches they will fast track an amnesty that will have them, the illegals, at the polls in a few short years. Their beloved “democracy” will be realized and this nation will be third world shortly thereafter.
Jim Daniel says
Why are Republicans afraid of using the “C” word?
CIVIL WAR
Ed Snider says
Biden’s only concern throughout his career has been to maximize the flow of graft, and to avoid prison for himself and his family. In that sense he’s like a dim-witted Carlo Gambino. He wouldn’t know what democracy meant if he could spell it, and wouldn’t give a damn about it.
Bob Meyer says
For the last 6 months or so, Trump has been in a statistical tie with the worst president over the last 70 years. Biden has legacy media, social media, the universities and most cultural trends in his favor. Trump has little to compete with this. Fox News and some conservative websites are not nearly enough. People need a reason to overwhelmingly reject Biden.
The choice comes down to Biden, a puppet of the deep state or Trump, who is anathema to the deep state. Even if you hate Trump, the deep state represents the greatest threat to liberty.
Who can do most damage to the country? The puppet or the nemesis?
The damage done by illegal aliens and drugs pale in comparison to what woke bureaucrats can do. Central Bank Digital Currencies will reduce the population to virtual slavery, buying only what is permitted, working only where they are told.
DEI hiring will promote incompetents and crush individual initiative. Do you want your child to be operated on by an individual with palsy in the name of fighting “ableism”? Claudine Gay suggests that this is not an impossibility.
The choice isn’t Biden or Trump. The choice is who will slow the growth of the woke bureaucracy?
RAM says
Haley has no atrategy to handle the swamp other than joining it.
Mo de Profit says
Notice how the vaccine deaths and serious injuries is starting to be released into the mainstream?
Notice how Fauci is being challenged to answer questions, albeit behind closed doors?
Notice how the major Pharma organisations are being taken to court?
If the insurrection doesn’t work, warp speed will dispense with Trump sadly, he was duped.
NickM says
These power mad fanatics apparently believe that since democracy can lead to them losing control, they must destroy democracy.
They apparently believe if they lose control it will be the end of the world. (Their world anyway, which in their minds is the same thing.) So they must destroy the whole world.
There is a Hitleresque movement afoot here – a willingness to destroy everything and everyone around them, rather than give up and say ok I’m nothing, I’m just a human being with some crazy ideas, and I belong in a nuthouse or in jail, or in front of a firing squad. Take your pick. It’s over, I give up.
They’d rather see the world burn, than relinquish control.
They’d stand among the ashes, and the bodies, and they’d still say, we had to stop Trump.
Ginger Li says
IMO, Biden’s not going to make it to the next election.
Onzeur Trante says
I’m back to saying prayers for our survival. The Stop Trump movement will go into high gear, spinning everything out of control and total chaos will ensue. A Darwinesque future looms and no one knows tomorrow.
