Trump Is Right. There Is an ‘Enemy Within’ the United States

One of my kids asked me the other day why this particular Democrat lied in her television commercial. It was Angela Alsobrooks, running for Senate from Maryland, who was lying about cheating on her taxes and getting a sweetheart deal to pay what she’d dodged, so my kid wasn’t wrong. I told my daughter that she had to lie because the truth did her no favors. That’s true not only for a tax cheat like Alsobrooks, it’s true for all of them, and it is really what’s at stake in two weeks.

Think about it: is there anything Democrats aren’t lying about? The answer is no. Is there anything Democrats could tell the truth about that would help them win an election? That answer is also no. Outside of small pockets in the northeast and California, there isn’t anywhere in the country where people will cheer for the genital mutilation of children, and most of those who do are parents who’ve passed the point of no return by supporting what amounts to the chemical castration of their children. Once you’ve gone there, no matter what comes to light afterwards, you have to convince yourself you did the right thing, otherwise, how could you live with yourself?

The rest of the support for that idea are people unaffected by it but in desperate need of a cause to give their lives meaning or people who see political advantage to being a scold who corrects how everyone else talks and uses pronouns. Miserable people, really.

Other lies this election season include the idea that Donald Trump threatened to use the US military against his political opponents. That one is so stupid that you really have to be Mika-level dumb to even try to sell it. 

Trump was clearly talking about BLM/ANTIFA and the violence the political left happily embraces and encourages from their Brownshirts. They take to the streets at every perceived injustice Democrats can manufacture, burning large parts of majority black cities before receding to their suburban sanctuaries to await the next manufactured outrage. 

They rioted on inauguration day in 2017, assaulting people and burning property. Arrests were made and charges were, after an acceptable amount of time had passed, dropped against everyone. Why? Because what good does going after your own people do? They were needed throughout the Trump administration to riot over false claims of police brutality and junkie overdoses. And they’re ready to do it again.

These fascists have gotten away with almost everything, as Democrats drop charges like Leo DiCaprio drops women when they turn 26. And, like Leo, violent leftists only learned they can continue to get away with it, as there is always another aspiring Victoria’s Secret model awaiting their moment in the tabloids and there is always another manufactured social injustice around the corner. The idea that those people might try to use violence to impact the election is so realistic that it should be considered probable, especially if it’s close. 

Funnier still is the idea that “Trump would use the military against his enemies on election day,” since that’s what the question was about – election day violence. Donald Trump, win or lose, will not be President on election day. I realize reality has no impact on the pearl-clutching class on Morning Joe, but for everyone else that should be an important factoid. 

While the goon squad mob on the left are undoubtedly an enemy within our country, so too is the left-wing industrial complex that props it up. The media – so-called journalists – people who coined and echoed the phrase “mostly peaceful” as people’s lives were destroyed, businesses were destroyed and dozens were murdered. Anyone who could look at that and turn an indifferent eye has something broken in them nothing will fix.

While the left is lying about what Trump said regarding what he said about the “enemy within,” there is a very dangerous enemy within this country. They are members of the radical left trying to do horrible, inhumane things to children under the banner of “tolerance” and those who enable and run cover for them. They are truly awful people who desperately need to be defeated in two weeks. Nothing else matters.
