The True Threat to Democracy Is Democrats, All of Them

Democrats love to call Donald Trump a “threat to democracy.” Ask one what they think of the former President and they’ll belch it out. Ask what time it is and there’s least and 80 percent chance they’ll tell you it’s “Threat to democracy o’clock.” I’d say it’s Pavlovian, but that would be an insult to dogs that were trained to behave a certain way by comparing them people who simply obey for its own sake. The reality is, however, that the true threat to democracy – and your life and liberty – is Democrats, all of them.

As of this writing, Democrats have inspired two assassination attempts against Donald Trump. Two. Those are just the ones we know about. How many more Rachel Maddow sycophants have gotten to step 5 of 10, or 7 or 10, only to wake up to the reality of what they were planning and stop? We will never know. How many more were spooked by a friend, neighbor or co-worker who either asked what they were doing or called police to report something suspicious? That’s another number we can’t know.

But we can know the number is more than zero. If they got two people to go through with it, there’s no way they haven’t had others walk away in the planning process. 

That’s what you get when you tell natural born followers and conformists that your opponent is Hitler reincarnated. People so eager for obedience and acceptance will always crave more of it, and there is no way to get more of it than taking out the threat, right?

Two people have already tried, and Democrats aren’t close to done. Honestly, given the choice between defending the record of Democrats over the last four years – the economy, the open border and crime, the drugs, that child genital mutilation – inspiring assassination with panicked, absurd rhetoric is easier.

But you’d think they’d try to distance themselves from it a little. Nope.

After the first assassination attempt, Democrats did suspend the presidential campaign…for about three days. No fundraising emails, no commercials, nothing. Then they came roaring back like nothing ever happened. Inside of a weak, Trump was Hitler again and the Constitution was under threat yet again.

In the wake of their second assassination attempt, there wasn’t even a moment of self-reflection before they went on doing what they do.

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre, the harem of Goebbels acolytes at MSNBC, they all took various forms of the “If she didn’t want to get raped, she shouldn’t have worn such a short skirt” attack. Trump was Hitler again while the media idiots didn’t even have the whole story of the attempt. 

Not that it mattered, as details emerged, Trump returned to double-Hitler status. At the White House press briefing, the “historic” Karine Jean-Pierre responded to a question about when the left might stop using violence-inspiring rhetoric and she tossed one of the world’s all-time dumbest word salads. 

“The question that you’re asking, it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you’re asking it, because American people are watching,” KJP whined. “And to say that — to say that from a administration who has consistently condemned political violence; from an administration where the president called the former president and was thankful, grateful that he was okay; from an administration who has called out January 6th, called out the attack of Paul Pelosi, called out and said we need to lower the temperature after the Butler incident — and now for you to make that kind of comment in your question — because it — your question involved a comment and a statement — and, you know, it is — that is also incredibly dangerous when we have been very clear in — in condemning political violence from here.”

The condemnation of political violence she cites are the attack by a mentally deranged homeless man on Nancy Pelosi’s stock broker and January 6th, what Democrats called the “greatest attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” Imperial Japan, Lee Harvey Oswald and Osama bin Laden are all laughing. 

Yet, that’s what these people say. Note how I didn’t say it’s what they think – there’s no way the people spewing this garbage as part of their jobs actually believes any of it, this is strictly for the consumption of their audience – kibble for good dogs as a reward for that obedience I talked about. 

If you condition people to hate, eventually they start to feel a little bad about being consumed by hatred; and maybe they meet people who aren’t Hitler, who just hold opposing views. You have to create a bigger picture, a wider world view through which to pretend something matters. Something to justify the hate and override that remaining sliver of conscience. If Hitler Jr. were responsible for something worse than 9/11, well, that would do it, wouldn’t it?

Look, we aren’t dealing with good people here, or even descent people, we’re dealing with power hungry people indifferent to the destruction in their wake. If they have to inspire a few people to commit political assassinations or just random murders, so be it. Their philosophy is responsible for more than 100 million murders in the last century and they haven’t lost a moment’s sleep over it, what’s a few more in the name of “progress”?
