God save democracy from its so-called defenders on the left

Louis XIV declared, “I am the state.” The motto of today’s Democratic 
Party should be “Democracy is us.” Supporting anything we oppose is a 
threat to democracy. On the other hand, opposing anything we support is 
anti-democratic.

According to democracy’s self-appointed champions, U.S. Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement’s deportation of criminal aliens, President Trump’s 
campaign against urban crime, congressional districts that reflect 
reality, ballot ID laws, cutting the bureaucracy, opposition to racial 
quotas and protecting women’s sports and privacy all are existential 
threats to democracy.

The smallest club in the world is Democrats who haven’t accused Mr. Trump 
of being a threat to democracy, an existential threat to democracy, a 
clear and present danger to democracy, or a dictator. The drumbeat started 
in 2016 and grew louder with each election cycle.

Rep. James Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat who was instrumental in 
securing the Democratic presidential nomination for Joseph R. Biden in 
2020, said democracy would end if Democrats lost the 2022 midterm 
elections. They did; it didn’t. In 2024, The Washington Post ran an 
opinion piece titled “A Trump dictatorship is inevitable.” The ubiquitous 
Democratic strategist James Carville said the 2024 election would decide 
whether we are “going to have a Constitution or not.”

Throughout his White House years, it was impossible for Mr. Biden to open 
his yap without warning, in the most lurid terms, that his predecessor was 
“an existential threat to our system of government.”

Not surprisingly, Vice President Kamala Harris agreed. If she didn’t win 
the presidency, she said, 2024 “genuinely could be” the last democratic 
election. It’s me or the abyss.

The Democratic Party is the little boy who cried wolf because the wolf is 
all he has.

It’s also a classic case of projection. For the real threats to our system 
of government, look leftward. Voters did not elect an autopen in 2020. 
They elected a man who was mentally and physically incapable of governing.

A White House cabal governed in his name while repeatedly assuring us that 
the man who had to be led away from one event by the Easter Bunny was at 
the top of his game and sharp as a tack. This conspiracy was the ultimate 
betrayal of popular sovereignty.

The Democratic Party did everything it could to rig the 2024 election. 
Democratic secretaries of state tried to keep Mr. Trump’s name off the 
ballot. A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court rejected this unprecedented 
overreach.

Throughout the campaign, Democratic officials bent the law in novel ways 
to prosecute the once and future president. New York Attorney General 
Letitia James ran for office on an I’ll-get-Trump platform. She decided 
crimes had been committed before producing any evidence. Manhattan 
District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County, Georgia, District 
Attorney Fani Willis rounded out the George Soros lawfare trio.

All this was intended to prejudice voters against Mr. Trump. It was an 
attempt to sabotage the democratic process in the midst of a presidential 
election.

The Democratic Party is hardly a model of democracy. Ms. Harris didn’t win 
its presidential nomination; it was bestowed on her.

So, according to the left, democracy is allowing 2 million illegal aliens 
(including hardened criminals, drug dealers and gang members) to cross our 
borders; interfering with law enforcement because they don’t like a law; 
letting illegals who can’t read road signs drive big rigs; opposing voter 
ID laws because they make it harder to steal elections; using public 
office to enrich their families; inciting violence that results in months 
of urban riots; gun confiscation; so-called gender transitioning for 
minors; indoctrination in public schools; slow-walking presidential 
nominations to an unprecedented degree; statehood for the District of 
Columbia (assuring the Democratic Party two votes in the Senate in 
perpetuity); abolishing the Electoral College; and packing the Supreme 
Court.

God save democracy from its defenders.

The argument about what constitutes a democracy goes back to Thomas 
Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party. Jefferson’s ideal was a small 
government of strictly limited powers, the very opposite of what his party 
has advocated since the New Deal. If Jefferson were president today, most 
Democratic officeholders would say the author of the Declaration of 
Independence was a threat to democracy.

Democratic hysteria isn’t working. Polls show voters think the real threat 
to democracy is a party that incites lawlessness, not a president who 
stands for public safety.

Yet Democrats are addicted to Chicken Little tactics (“Help, help, our 
democracy is falling!”), so their smear campaign against the president and 
his allies will continue.


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
