We hear a lot from elite idiots about how every single attempt by normal Americans to participate in their own governance is a threat to "Our Democracy." That's because when they say "Our Democracy," they mean "Their Democracy" – not that America is a democracy, but you get my drift. And normal people working to have a say in their government are a threat to their hegemony. They want us disarmed, disenfranchised, and, in many cases, dead. We refuse to be serfs, and their insane reaction to our resistance is unbelievably dangerous.
Look what's happening to President Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee. We are seeing unrestricted legal warfare against the guy (and a bunch of his supporters). This is where you would hope our alleged elite, with their Ivy League degrees and boundless self-regard, might have learned some history but, alas, the 1619 Project does not count as history. Here’s some. Julius Caesar, patron of the plebes, refused to relinquish his consular command because his elite enemies proposed to destroy him with lawfare. Instead, he crossed the Rubicon and adios, Republic. Our elite thinks that the only power that exists is the kind they wield from the heights of the institutions, but that's not so. People backed into a corner use the power they have at hand. And once you have trashed the rules and norms in exchange for a short-term advantage over your opponents, those rules and norms are no longer going to protect you when you need them.
Look at Texas, which is being flooded with illegal aliens welcomed – in utter violation of the law our legislators established through the passage of laws – by this corrupt communist administration. Not only is the government giving money to people who should not be here, but the Border Patrol is removing concertina wire to let the hordes in, something okayed by SCOTUS. Now, Texas has used its military forces to secure some areas and to refuse admittance to the federal Border Patrol. That's a pretty major escalation, but are you outraged at Governor Abbott? If so, why? The norm of federal supremacy was a thing a while ago, but now the federal government is actively ignoring and defying federal law, and we are supposed to get mad at the state government that resists? Gee, how could a situation where armed federal and state forces being at odds go bad? History comes to mind in the form of the first (and hopefully last) Civil War, but the mention of Fort Sumpter would draw a blank stare from our alleged betters. The Civil War is not something the Ivy League dwells on because a few hundred thousand poor pale guys dying to free the slaves kind of undermines that whole structural racism/white privilege meme.
Even if you agree with Texas's desperate actions, you cannot be happy about it. Texas never should have been put in this situation. The Congress passed laws, and the president signed them, and the new president has simply decided to effectively break them by refusing to enforce them and, in fact, is actively aiding and abetting their breakage. How is that "democracy" even in the erroneous context the left likes to use it? How is a country democratic if the people's representatives pass laws and the chief executive – who is expressly charged with the duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" (Article II, Section 3) – consciously and willfully refuses to honor them?
It's not.
And you can see the effects. People felt they have no voice, because they have no voice. Something has got to give. There will be escalating red state versus federal confrontations. Normal Americans are angry and alienated. Patriotic Americans are refusing to serve in the military.
With Ron DeSantis out, we need to unite behind the only remaining candidate who stands in opposition to this unfolding disaster. Nikki Haley is simply a slightly more right-wing version of the same elitist mindset that has gotten us into this mess and is making things worse. Donald Trump is imperfect, but he's the best option we have. If you actually care about the country, you need to back him. Biden has to go.
This situation is bad and it is getting worse. How much worse can it get? Much worse. And the idiots of the elite have no idea. It's not just immigration. It's everything. This is serious. This is about all the marbles. Time to get in there and win this thing in 2024.
