Democrats Against Democracy

The controversy surrounding former President Joe Biden’s mental incapacity continues. The theme of recent interviews is that everyone knew Biden wasn’t all there, and they were right to hide it from the public.

Several Democrats and left-wing activists have made the point that if you believe, as many of them did, that Donald Trump and his movement (meaning you, the reader, and other conservatives) represent an existential threat to “democracy,” then you are willing to do anything you need to do. Even if that means using “undemocratic” strategies and tactics.

This “confession” is going to be the Left’s major argument. The ends justify the means. So, stopping Donald Trump justified using Joe Biden as a pretend president. This “logic” explains so much of what has happened in the last decade.

If they were willing to deploy “undemocratic” tactics to “save democracy,” the most obvious tactic would be stealing elections, which most of us believe is exactly what happened in 2020.

You would also take federal law enforcement agencies meant to protect us from our enemies and deploy them instead against populist conservatives.

You have foreign intelligence agencies do the spying on American citizens you can’t do under American law.

You declare parents who don’t want LGBTQ indoctrination of their children to be potential domestic terrorists.

You send FBI agents into conservative Catholic churches to monitor sermons.

You raid the former president’s home with the equivalent of a SWAT team with loaded weapons, and you tell them, “If there’s any resistance, feel free to use the weapons.”

You arrange for leftist prosecutors to tie the “threat to democracy” up in court month after month after month in the hope of either putting him in jail, where he will die, or so damaging him that he becomes unelectable.

Oh, but it gets much worse.

You regularly employ rhetoric that is an invitation to kill the “threat to democracy” and his supporters.

And when the assassination attempts fail, you say, “Well, what do you expect when he says the things he says?” So, he gets blamed for the assassination attempts the Left stokes among their unhinged base.
