Democrats Want War

249
 

An entire generation has grown up without leading Democrats ever granting the validity of a Republican’s election to the presidency. It has been decades since Democrats acknowledged that they could lose the highest office fair and square.

Biden — a former Vice President and now a candidate for President — goes a step further by suggesting that Trump might not cede the presidency if defeated in the upcoming election.

Democrats are deliberately undermining faith in elections. This is dangerous.

It is made more dangerous by local Democrats’ refusals to enforce rule of law. According to this officer, if Seattle officials order police to abandon the city’s flagship headquarters like they already abandoned one police station to raiders, then 911 emergency calls will be disabled for the entire city. An American metropolis would tear itself apart.

The latest headline tells me a Wendy’s was burned in Atlanta last night. Media-fueled anger over a police shooting somehow got translated into destruction of the business which required police assistance. Why? Because that’s what a segment of our society does now. They burn and pillage under a flag of politics and cultural revolution. What began in Minneapolis over a misrepresented incident has, thanks to Democrats and their allies in media, spread to a dozen major cities across the United States.

“Cancel culture” is exploding across the country (indeed, across Western civilization)  to punish or silence all public opposition to the bigoted Black Lives Matter campaign. It echoes censure in previous years of resistance to global warming hysteria, LGBT(+) activism, and other causes of the Left. People are losing jobs, contracts, advertisers, and being barred from public forums because the Left will not tolerate debate or contrary expression.

This occurs as millions of Americans — perhaps as many as 100 million — demand a fundamental transformation of America into an explicitly socialist system. Their last presidential candidate was, by implication of President Obama’s FBI director, a felon who for political reasons could not be prosecuted. Joe Biden’s primary challenger this past year, Bernie Sanders, is by his own measure more radical than Biden.

This occurs as countless businesses and families are under extreme duress, if not already bankrupted, by pandemic restrictions that might or might not have once been reasonable in defense of a poorly understood new contagion.

Any one of these would be disturbing by itself. Together, our way of life is being recklessly endangered. However many honorable Democrats remain in this nation must step forward to correct their party before things spin out of control.

    Doubtful. 

    We can only hope that the bullying culture is causing people to give phony answers that distort polls.

    And anyone who is astonished by the leftist tactics will come out and vote against the left in person in Nov.

    By the way, how many gangs and cartels are licking their lips right now over the opportunities this anarchy opens to them in cities like Seattle? Antifa is not the only interstate criminal threat that will hide behind Black Lives Matter.

    The press was outraged by Trump’s talk of a rigged election in 2016. (Rightfully so.)

    But today when Biden pushes such conspiracy theories where is the outrage?

    They have sorting tabs in their play book: support left, destroy right.

    Aaron Miller: “Cancel culture” is exploding across the country

    Cancel culture is being replaced by arson culture.  BTW, I didn’t know the Wendy’s building shot a black man.  Good thing law-abiding citizens were there to bring justice to the rogue fast-food restaurant . . .
