In my last column, I wrote about America after a second Trump administration, but now comes the horror show – America after a first Kamala Harris administration, which is actually a second Biden administration, which is really the third Obama administration, only dumber. It's unclear whether America can survive it. We're strong. We're resilient. But the infection is deep and when you get gangrene, the only answer is to start cutting.
Don't underestimate the damage someone who is stupid, leftist, and fully convinced of her own greatness can do even to a country like the United States of America. President Harris will be in an unmitigated disaster. When we are done with a first Kamala Harris administration, we will no longer be a superpower. We will be a second-tier power, and that's what she wants. Remember, she and her coterie of communist cadres believe that America is fundamentally flawed and that anything that limits America’s power and humiliates us is a good thing. They think that the American people are trash – racist knuckle-draggers enslaved by our religion and our guns. They believe that we must be perfected by leftist engineers into New Socialist Nonbinaries.
Kamala and Co.’s evil, combined with their foolishness, can only lead to total disaster. Kamala Harris will double down on all the terrible things Joe Biden has done. In the economy, look for her to abandon her fake acceptance of fracking the second she adds Pennsylvania to her “Win” column. She's going to ban it because she takes orders from people in San Francisco and cares nothing for the people in Western Pennsylvania who pull the precious fuel from the ground. Under the guise of environmentalism, she will limit our ability to do any kind of mining, not just of fossil fuels but of anything. The Chinese will be delighted to see that we're going to stop trying to break their monopoly on rare earth metals, just as the Arabs, Iranians, Russians, and Venezuelans will be delighted to see that we have handed them a monopoly on oil. We'll see more wind farms out there killing whales and birds, and we'll see American land covered with Chinese-made solar panels. But of course, it won't be enough to support the need for power, especially in light of the AI revolution. You're going to see all of America become like California, not just with hobos, scumbags, and criminals running rampant, but with rolling blackouts in our neighborhoods. But the blackouts won't happen in the neighborhoods of the kind of people who vote for Kamala Harris – well, at least not the kind of people who both vote for Kamala Harris and write her checks.
If you're poor, you're going to stay poor. That's part of the scam. Democrats are delighted to bring in a tsunami of Third World peasants to form a laboring class toiling for subhuman wages while remaining obedient to their blue masters' whims. The Democrats prefer that kind of American. They want themselves as lords; they want us normals as serfs.
Overseas, if you were an American ally, good luck. Kamala will abandon Israel completely because she hates the Jewish state and, as she recently inadvertently admitted, she believes it is a genocidal threat to her Palestinian terrorist favorites. She chooses Iran over the United States. She will suck up to China. She will betray the European countries that have resisted subjugation and embrace the ones that are subjugating their own people. Look for her to cooperate with European speech censors. Look for her to empower censors here at home, too. Free speech is a threat to their power, so they will suppress it.
If you are her enemy, you're going to jail. Not because you've done anything illegal but simply because you oppose her. If the law does not ban what you do, they will twist it to charge you and leftist judges will go along with it. Trump? He will die in prison for the crime of opposing them. And if she gets elected, you should go short on Elon Musk and all his companies. They will try to make him an object lesson in what will happen to anyone who defies them.
We may never have a real election again. Kamala Harris will use all her power to lock-in the power of her clique. If she can, the Senate will break the filibuster and add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia to solidify a perpetual Democrat majority. They will expand the number of Supreme Court justices, who will have nothing to do with justice and who will be communist rubber stamps. The new Supreme Court will treat the Constitution like Kamala’s hubby treats an uppity date. It will find that you do not have the right to speak if the ruling class doesn't like what you have to say – they'll call it a “hate speech” ban and the regime media will slap its fins like trained seals awaiting a mackerel as dissenters are silenced. They will eliminate your right to practice your religion freely. They might still let you do it in private – maybe – for a little while, but don't expect a Kamala court to ever to stand up against the outrages the left delights in inflicting upon the faithful.
As for guns, just forget it. She's all for the Second Amendment, which to her means that she will ban every single gun you have while arming hordes of federal officers and a military bent to her will. If you don't think she would use violence to suppress your opposition, you have not been paying attention. She wants you disenfranchised while you obey, and dead if you resist. If you don't think so, you're being willfully naïve.
This brings us to the most troubling part of a Harris administration: her deep stupidity and total misunderstanding of normal Americans that makes her especially dangerous. She doesn't understand how normal Americans will react to the imposition of the kind of tyranny she and her friends desire. How will we normals respond?
Poorly.
No one has a greater capacity for inadvertently starting a Second Civil War than this power-drunk Scat Francisco halfwit. She will push and push and push, because she has never experienced pushback in her life. She has lived her life inside a blue bubble, and she neither understands, nor feels any affection for, normal Americans. She will tell them they can't speak. That she will tell them they can't govern themselves. They will tell them they can't practice their religion. And she will tell them they must turn in their guns.
And when they refuse to shut up, accept serfdom, and turn in their guns, she will not hesitate to aim her minions' guns at them. We've seen how the Democrats used the might of the federal government over the last four years to destroy Donald Trump and anybody who supports Donald Trump. They’ve manipulated the justice system, they've sent armed men to raid patriots' homes, and, on January 6th, they murdered Ashley Babbitt. She will not be the last victim if Kamala Harris is elected. We all remember Waco. That’s their template: Other the resisters, accuse them of crimes, and then destroy them.
No, Kamala will imagine that she can wave her wand and make her opponents simply disappear. But patriotic Americans are not going to disappear. Patriotic Americans are not going to give in. Patriotic Americans are not going to give up and submit to her. What you will see is red states revolting, with Florida, Texas, and others simply refusing to be part of her scheme to turn into Cuba, Jr. And then she will push, and she will push too hard and too brutally, and there will be a backlash, and there will be violence at a level that, if you were familiar with history, will shock you. Civil wars are the least civil of wars.
The best case scenario, the one not involving violent conflict instigated by the leftists’ lust for total power, is an America that, after four years of Kamala Harris, is less powerful, less prosperous, less free, and less secure. None of those are bugs in the mind of Kamala Harris and her ilk. Those are features. Those are their goals. They want those things. And if you fail to get out there and help elect Donald Trump – vote right now if you haven't already – you will give it to them.
Go vote. Now.
Comrade Kamala must be kept out of the White House, and we need your help to take it back.
