Hey, have you heard the news? “Our democracy” is on the brink. An unscrupulous narcissist with dictatorial ambitions and a hatred for legitimate political opposition could win the presidency in November, and that will very likely be the last time that patriotic Americans get a chance to elect their chief executive. From now on, if this sinister man manages to win, it’s all going to be stiff-arm salutes and “Sieg heils.”
In fact, there is a very real threat to America’s continuing to function as a free republic, but that threat isn’t coming from where Democrats are claiming. They’re saying that if Bad Orange Man returns to the White House on Jan. 20, 2025, “democracy” will be dead. Trump, will set himself up as a dictator, and Amerikkka will finally become the fascist state that leftists have been claiming it was on the verge of being ever since an upstart has-been actor named Ronald Reagan threw his hat in the ring.
This claim is not only absurd and offensive; it’s a classic case of projection. The American republic (remember, kids: it’s not a democracy) is indeed in serious danger, but the danger is coming from those who are claiming that they are trying to save it from Trump.
One of the most recent propagandists to claim that Trump represents a mortal threat to “our democracy,” by which leftists mean “our hegemony,” is Michael Cohen, Trump’s angry and vengeful former personal attorney. Cohen appearedrecently on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” and was full of dark warnings about how a Trump victory in November will mean curtains for The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave. How is dictator Trump going to do away with Congress and the military and every other force that would prevent him from canceling the 2028 election? Cohen didn’t say.
Cohen’s fellow professional liar, MSNBC’s Joy Reid, said to Cohen: “Let me play what you said in 2019 about Trump when you testified to Congress.” She then played a clip of Cohen saying during his Congressional testimony in 2019 that “given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, there will never be a peaceful transition of power. And this is why I agreed to appear before you today.”
Reid neglected to point out the obvious: Cohen’s 2019 prediction was wrong. There was, in fact, a peaceful transition of power. Nevertheless, Reid continued: “We now know there’s been a 600% spike in threats to election workers, following the lawsuit to take Donald Trump off the ballot. We’re talking about election workers quitting in states like Arizona. You predicted he would not leave office peacefully. He didn’t. If he is convicted in this New York case, what do you think will happen next?”
Wait, what? Trump didn’t leave office peacefully? Did he have to be dragged out at gunpoint and somehow we missed it? Reid was, of course, referring to one of the left’s biggest lies of the last few years: the claim that there was an “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021. Leftists have never adequately explained how they expect us to believe that some grandmothers snapping selfies after being let into the Capitol by police who opened the doors for them and some guy with Viking horns could overthrow the government of the most powerful nation on earth.
Despite the nonsensical nature of all this, Cohen (what else?) agreed, and added: “Well, I think of course that he will continue to try to rally his troops, his MAGA army. But a better prediction that I would like to make is that if, God forbid a million times, that Donald wins in 2024, my prediction is that there will never be another election thereafter.” Reid (again, what else?) agreed.
Neither Cohen nor Reed said anything about the fact that it was Old Joe Biden, not Trump, who declared his chief opponent and his supporters a threat to the very foundations of the republic, ruling half of the electorate outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse. As The Sumter Gambit: How the Left is Trying to Foment a Civil War details, the left today has no respect for the republic as it is currently structured; the Biden regime is the first American presidency to take actual steps to criminalize what used to be called “loyal opposition.”
Biden and his henchman Merrick Garland have a long and ever-lengthening record of being intolerant of dissent, the tolerance of which is the foundation of any free society. Besides the Disinformation Governance Boardthat would have policed speech that dissented from the leftist establishment’s perspective, it sicced the FBI on angry parents protesting at school board meetings, worked with Twitter and other social media giants to silence and deplatform people with opposing views, and even sent spies into Catholic churches.
The Biden regime is the real threat to “our democracy,” that is, our republic. But no Democrat propagandist or establishment media “journalist” will ever admit that.
Michael Cohen the conman? Isn’t he the one who stuck his wee willy in porn pig “Stormy Daniels” and then stole Trump’s money to pay her off? I think that’s the guy.
Yeah, like America cares about what he says.
One would think the “media” would be embarrassed and ashamed of their 24/7 gaze away from this historically failing presidency and instead beat on Trump, helping his poll numbers and campaign financing.
The answer is still the same: nope.
To have shame they’d first have to have at least a shred of integrity and morals. And they don’t.
I don’t know, but I think that most everyone knows Biden isn’t really calling the shots, so what is being promoted is the continuance of the charade and leaving Biden in the front room while running things from the guest house kitchen where the real harm is cooked up. Joe is only there to serve it to the public.
Who needs Nazis when we have the modem democratic party.
Painting on other peoples’ walls is desecration, pure and simple,and when caught should at minimum have a prison sentence or large fine, plus a requirement to remove the damage and have an ankle bracelet for a period of time…the perpetrator, in my mind needs a much stronger reminder that their ABUSEwill never again be tolerated.
DEMOCRATS AND THE MSM didn’t focus on getting Americans to LIKE HILLARY/BIDEN, they only focus on getting Americans to HATE TRUMP!
Almost every newscast has something Trump as the lead story. “BLOODBATH!” They were editing his comment to make it sound: “If I lose, it’s going to be a BLOODBATH!” EVERY NATIONAL, EVEN OUR LOCAL CHANNELS, DID THE SAME! I called all three local channels, no one takes messages, and you can’t leave one. I wrote on the “Breaking News Tip” and still didn’t get a reply. THE ZOMBIES WILL THEN REPEAT IT and if you challenge them that it was all a lie, he meant cars from China, they always resort to: “You watch too much Fox News.”
“INSURRECTION” was repeated by all the media within minutes and Hannity loves to play the clips of all of them repeating the same messages. THAT’S A CONSPIRACY and who organized the talking points BEFORE the event? WHERE’S THE NSA NOW? They hear the CHATTER and do nothing before or after???
HISTORY WILL EVENTUALLY REVEAL ALL THE PLANS!
As many have named her, “Joyless Reid, the race lady.” Apt.
The media! the media! the media! is the enemy that threatens 2024, just like it did in 2020.
It was indeed a peaceful transition of power except for one thing . . .
Nancy’s woke goon squad set up MAGA patriots on Jan 6th as they had planned.
The pricks fired gratuitously into the crowd they had ushered into the ellipsis.
The bewildered crowd turned angry, as that unprovoked attack from DC police killed Kevin Greason (fatal heart attack due to projectile hitting his eye).
That shameless set-up, aided & abetted by the media, cost 3 patriots their lives that day.
At this point Biden’s probably just a sop to catch all the hatred the country has. Then, at the proper time before the election, he’ll be replaced as a candidate by someone who has no negatives.
The “Trump as dictator” meme is so obviously absurd that it should be beyond discussion. Is it ignorance, denial, or projection coming from the Left? Hard to tell. But it’s an easy concept to unravel. Where are Trump’s brownshirts? Where are his secret police? Where is his political apparatus? That would be the totalitarian machine run by the Biden administration.
Staking everything on Trump hate, is really about staking everything on hate of America and the vast majority of American citizens. Trump is just the focal point if the HATE.
Peter O’Toole said—when filming the notoriously terrible movie “Caligula” (of its Italian director Tinto Brass)— “In a well-ordered world, he’d be a window washer in Venice.”
Its pathetic that anyone would be fooled by the Biden-Obama regime. Actions speak louder than words. Its the opposite of what past Presidents did, who actually did their best to serve their own country and didn’t have to steal and bribe to get elected.
