The Supreme Court will not throw Donald Trump off the ballot through some sort of deus ex MSNBCmachina, and Trump’s polls are improving while President Crusty’s are getting worse, so we face the real possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency. Obviously, it’s not a done deal, but it is a bigger possibility than it used to be. Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election.
This is a really bad idea.
But of course, the Democrat Party is the Party of Bad Ideas, and the Party of Nanny Fascism. And it is also remarkably free of any recognition of its own hypocrisy. It’s become popular to say that the issue is not hypocrisy but hierarchy, and that the Democrats feel entitled to do whatever they want. They don’t want Trump to be president, so what are they going to do about it?
Whatever they have to do to hold power.
They’re very sensitive about us talking about this. I was onstage at CPAC with Townhall’s own Larry O’Connor and, at one point, I was talking about how Joe Biden was not going to leave office early voluntarily at the behest of Barack Obama and some cabal of Democrat poobahs concerned about him blowing the election. Then, of course, goofy pinko Aaron Rupar converted that into me saying that Joe Biden will refuse to leave office if he loses the election. I didn’t say that then, but I’m going to say it now. He already told us he won’t allow Donald Trump to take office. He couches that in terms of not letting Trump win the election, but are we sure that’s what he means? This is a guy well-known for talking about turning F-16s on American dissidents. After all, we’re treasonous traitors and MAGA extremists and such. Isn’t he justified in doing whatever he must to stop us?
So, if Donald Trump wins, do they let him take office again?
Well, they didn’t really let him take it over last time. They framed him with a fake Russiagate scandal. They impeached him for nonsense two times. They had the whole deep state doing everything it could to undercut the will of the people who elected him. And they just spent the last three years hyping up how he’s a danger to Our Democracy™ and an authoritarian, and if they don’t stop him, he’s going to start doing to them exactly what they’ve been doing to him and us. It’s right and proper that they be scared of that, but the fact that they are scared means they’re likely to do stupid things.
Imagine if Donald Trump is elected by a very narrow margin, which is a possibility, and you get a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives, which many Republicans think is likely. Maybe the Democrats look at each other and say, “Wait a minute, we can pull some shenanigans with the counting of the electoral college ballots!” Why wouldn’t they? And don’t say that they just spent three years screaming about the Republicans attempting to do that because, again, they are immune to hypocrisy. It literally doesn’t matter to them. They’ll do exactly what they accused Donald Trump and the January 6 people of doing, and they will explain to you that it’s a good thing that they’re doing it.
We already know part of the game plan will be encouraging civil unrest, which we will see a lot of over the summer and leading up to the election. That’s their subtle version of intimidation, but as Inauguration Day approaches, they are certain to amp it up. January 6 was a minor brawl, a joke as far as civil disturbances go – I was in Los Angeles during the Democrat-sponsored Los Angeles riots, so I have a rational perspective on this stuff. But does anyone think they won’t convene their radical Antifa, BLM, and other scumbag Democrat shock troopers in Washington, DC, to disrupt the transfer of power? And it won’t be old ladies taking selfies in the rotunda. These people will be violent and dangerous and probably armed. Who’s going to stop them? Will Joe Biden call out the Washington National Guard or 82nd Airborne to do it? I think we know who will get prosecuted for the violence – no one.
Now, they’ll have some sort of excuse. Donald Trump is an insurrectionist, or democracy is in danger, or reasons and because. Just don’t put it beyond possibility that they will not allow a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump. These people are not committed to democracy. They don’t care about freedom. They care about power, so much so that they allow a desiccated old husk to be the guy with his quivering finger hovering over the big red button. If you believe that there’s some sort of guardrail or norm that would stop them from retaining power if they could get away with it, you are hallucinating. You haven’t been paying attention. Wake up.
What do we do about it? Step one is to win the election, and we should try to do decisively. There are a lot of problems that come with slipping through the skin of our teeth. A decisive win makes it harder to cheat, and harder to negate. Regardless, we’ll see lawsuits and all sorts of other stunts in every close state. Remember how 2020 was decided by something like 40,000 votes over three states? Of course, it being Democrats bringing these suits, they’ll get much more consideration than Trump’s did. We could have some state court judge in Wisconsin disrupting the entire election by announcing that none of the Republicans’ ballots count for some nonsense reason, but again, you don’t really need a reason when you’re just seizing power.
Democrats protest every single Republican election as illegitimate, and they will certainly protest this one should Trump win. We have got to be ready. Right now, we are not.
