As if there is not enough going on out there to trouble your mind already, have you considered the distinct possibility that the current PINO – the president-in-name-only – and his crypto-fascist clique would not allow Donald Trump to take office again if the Bad Orange Man somehow won the nomination and then defied the odds (I give him 15%) to somehow go Full Grover Cleveland? Because there is a real chance they would not.
Crazy talk? Yeah, but the crazy talk came from the lying piehole of our dust puppet alleged chief executive. He shamelessly told us – like he shamelessly told us he fired that Ukrainian prosecutor as part of the Delaware Corleone crime club’s corruptorama – that he absolutely would not let Trump take office again. Sure, he qualified it by claiming, in his own grammatically challenged way, that he would only employ “legitimate efforts of the Constitution,” but we have seen that, among other things, his idea of the “legitimate efforts of the Constitution” “ includes using his DOJ to frame the ex-president/his chief political rival. And keep in mind that Grandpa Badfinger – who has been giving speeches screeching about how you are a Nazi for not wanting to submit – frequently and turgidly fantasizes about the idea of unleashing the US military upon dissident Americans like you.
Fortunately, for real Americans at least, the senior leadership of the US military under this commander-in-creep is too busy literally leading each other around on leashes to suddenly break their 30-year losing streak of unwon wars via a civil one. But make no mistake – if Trump were to get nominated and win, they will do whatever they can to deny not just him but us the president we chose. And they will call that effort “protecting democracy.”
Of course, we’re a republic, but you get the point. Biden and those who support his stumbling efforts to turn America into Venezuela, except with more Venezuelans thanks to his erasure of our border, see us as morally incapable and morally unworthy of participating in our own governance. We are illegitimate, and therefore so are the electoral results of our participation in civic life. They want us to be obedient serfs, doing society’s hard and dirty work – you can’t expect Kaden or Ashleigh from Santa Monica to waste their gender studies degrees from the University of College doing a job that causes perspiration! They want us toiling to pay taxes to fund deadbeat Democrat constituents’ personal welfare and the elite’s corporate and NGO welfare. They want us as their muscle, acting as their enforcers – again, there’s no way Kaden or Ashleigh would be cops and protect their gated communities. And they want us fighting their endless, idiotic wars – including those against the real enemy, people like you here at home.

So, it’s clear they would have no moral or utilitarian redline against intervening to prevent Donald Trump from taking office in the unlikely event he wins in 2024. But how would they do it? Well, they will start before the ballots are cast. Expect the same kind of shenanigans they pulled to “fortify” the 2020 pseudo-election in 2024. It is fair and proper to call 2020 a rigged election, but not because of the bizarre kraken idiocy that only had the effect of overshadowing and discrediting the exposure of the real scam.
Yes, there was some cheating. We found cheating the first night I was in Las Vegas with the legal team. The extent is unproven and fraud is really only a factor in a close race where a few hundred or thousand votes separate the candidates. A more serious issue is the plethora of quasi-legal and outright unlawful rule changes imposed at the last minute which our glorious RNC failed to anticipate and litigate beforehand. Ronna McDaniel, Trump’s handpicked RNC chair – save the denials, because I watched his people with my own eyes lobby for her at last winter’s RNC election – promises that she’s being proactive this time, but last time her negligence led to disaster. Luckily, some red states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas have reformed their laws to prevent the worst abuses, and everyone in the GOP but the loons and knuckleheads are up to ballot harvesting where ballots can be harvested. But the states with blue governors are going to do everything they can to make sure that their elections are as insecure as a Bulwark staff writer walking into a gym. And then there were the institutional thumbs on the scale in favor of Biden – we will see that again too. Out in front will be the regime media cheerleading the Democrat party line that Trump is Hitler x Franco to the max.
All that will be deployed to fix the result, but what if the American people are not stupid enough to give Methy McStrippertapper’s daddy another shot? What will the enemy do? Well, they will riot. We know that last time they had hundreds of “demonstrations” planned should Trump win. And with Crusty in office, the rioters will have the full backing of the federal government. Remember how a minor scuffle at the Capitol was worse than a million 9/11s? Well, their 2024 rioters will burn, loot, and kill, as the feds step back, applaud and kneel, and you will be told this is democracy in action. The only people who will be prosecuted will be those defending themselves. But that’s really in the big blue cities – not sure it will go so well if they try that in a small town.
At the same time, expect lawfare in every Dem stronghold where pinko judges will eagerly toss out GOP wins, the law be damned. In Wisconsin, where Ronna McDaniel notched another “L” in a Supreme Court race earlier this year and let the court go commie, there is approximately a 100% chance that they will find for the Democrats in whatever lawsuit is brought to overturn a red result. Luckily SCOTUS remains in American hands, but understands that every single leftist judge in the country will make whatever fraudulent finding necessary to ensure a leftist win.
And then there will be the DC drama. You’ll see House objections to the vote that will go nowhere under McCarthy, but the action will be across the Rotunda. The Democrats own the Senate, so watch Kamala Harris show up to do what Mike Pence – before he became an insufferably prissy collaborator with the narrative over the last few weeks – properly refused to do and try to interfere with the Electoral College count. Do not put it past the Democrat majority to refuse to certify a Donald Trump win in favor of their guy who the Democrats will have, by then, refused to impeach and remove despite a tsunami of evidence of his outright bribery. Then watch them push slates of fake electors, who are once again (as they were in 2000, 2004, and 2016) not just A-OK but heroic defenders of Our Democracy. Yeah, the same kind of people currently being framed by Democrats when they are Republicans will be celebrated when they are Democrats.
And what happens when this all fails? Will Biden leave the White House? We know that Joe Biden is a black swan souffle of stupidity, senility, and corruption. What if he just says…"No?” Then we will have a standoff, a constitutional crisis. He’s been ignoring the law for four years to impose things he cannot get passed via the Constitution, so why would he not ignore it to keep his sinecure? And there’s no referee that can compel him not to. SCOTUS orders do not enforce themselves. Is the DOJ going to suddenly arrest Democrats for sedition? Do you expect our garbage military leadership to have the troops sashay up Pennsylvania Avenue to depose the despot? No, they will back Biden’s play in large part because the generals and admirals know their sorry brasses are getting fired before the sun goes down on Inauguration Day.
Scary, huh? And it’s supposed to be. We are supposed to be afraid to vote for who we want. Now, I support Ron DeSantis for the nomination because I think he is more likely to win in November 2024, but I am under no illusion that this could not happen to him. By then, the regime media will have painted the Florida conservative hurricane as Hitler x Franco x Trump to the max. His edge is that fewer Americans irrationally hate him to the point that they would support the installation of a dictatorship to prevent him from taking office.
A sickening number of alleged Americans would support a dictatorship to stop Trump 2.0, but that is not a reason not to support Trump. There are many reasons to choose someone other than Trump, and “The Democrats might start a civil war” is not one of them. Threats and ultimatums like this must be met by engaging a middle finger and having the potential to engage a trigger finger. Democrat threats of imposing the fascist government they have long dreamt of must not merely be ignored; they must be met with a steely determination not to allow it.
But they may try. They are stupid and evil and they are historically illiterate to the point that they do not understand the danger inherent in the kind of antics they are considering. Again, we know they considered doing this in advance of 2020 and we know what the idiot in the Oval Office has actually threatened. Such actions will cause a real and dangerous civil conflict that could escalate from mostly peaceful (remember that rioting is a key component of their scheme) to outright and organized violence and political oppression. Hopefully, a crisis created by a Democrat attempt to deny the presidency to Donald Trump in January 2025 could be resolved peacefully, but we watched them cheer the murder of a peaceful protester on January 6. Do not think they would not happily shed your blood if they thought it would help them retain power.
So, here’s what we do collectively and individually. We vote for who we want regardless of express and implied Democrat threats. To hell with them. We fortify our elections where we have power and prepare for lawfare all the way up to the Supreme Court where we don’t. We make the case for whoever the candidate we nominate and seek to win the vote well beyond the margin of fraud – if we demonstrate overwhelming support for change, that makes a Hail Satan play like the one described above less likely. And we buy guns and ammunition, because the best deterrent to tyrannical aspirations is an armed citizenry capable of resisting dictatorship.
