America’s existential threat is the absence of consequences for Democrats
American Thinker ^ | 13 May, 2024 | Lewis Dovland

The pattern that politicians and media outlets escape any consequences for their actions must change if America is to survive.

America as we know it is facing its ultimate existential threat, all focused on whatever the left thinks it will take to ensure Donald Trump is not our next President.

Our dear, constitutional America has crossed the political Rubicon (perhaps the River Styx). In addition to foreign policy, border, and economic problems, it now faces a breakdown in our justice system. Those who use governmental powers to cheat or commit politically based crimes have no concerns about punishment. Heavily abetted by the Marxist progressives in control of our educational, media, and justice systems, nothing is out of bounds for them.

Because America’s left has removed religion from the public space and demonstrates immorality at every turn, we then must look at this issue differently because we now have citizens who have no compunction about lawlessness.

With leftists (progressive Marxists), who now include all Democrat politicians, no penalties for lawlessness apply, and that’s for two reasons. One, they have no shame. And two, even where a penalty could be applied, it won’t.

As James Comey explained in 2016, Hillary Clinton was fully caught having committed several serious violations of our secrecy acts. Ignoring a court order to preserve evidence (as well as statutory requirements for government records), she deleted 30,000 emails and smashed multiple cell phones, yet no one was prosecuted. So, lawlessness worked.

More of the two-tiered justice system. No criminals on the left.

I expect that as the Democrat Lawfare campaign continues to fail that those scum will try to kill President Trump. Hate to say, but I hope he has private security because the Secret Service has already compromised themselves by collaborating with the FBI in their classified documents scandal.

If America is to survive it must have a REAL opposition party.

The GOP is not fulfilling that role.

What makes you think another party will not be gelded by the Deep State in the same way the GOP has been neutered?

Your thinking fails to address the root cause of the problem.

The discussion in the source is entirely about working within the system.

Leads to frustration and hopelessness. The system is now fully rigged.

The GOP needs to adopt “turnabout is fair play” and adopt Fight Club rules. Instead of all talk and no action, they need to fight as hard as the left and using the same tactics (because they started this) and don’t talk about it at all. Defeat marxism using street rules if necessary and keep their traps shut.

Which is exactly why (1) Many times I urged President Trump to get away from the RINO Party and do all in his power to create a new Party that true conservatives could trust with their time and their money; and why (2) many times I have urged conservative Republicans to support financially only individual incumbents and candidates who are on record as fully supportive of the principles, policies, and legislation desired by conservative Republican voters.

“With leftists (progressive Marxists), who now include all Democrat politicians, no penalties for lawlessness apply....”

Not so fast there. The Department of Justice secured an indictment of Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) for corruption. His trial was scheduled to begin today so I assume it’s under way.

He’s up for re-election this year, but the party wanted nothing to do with him. He didn’t even file to enter the Democratic primary.

This all goes back to George Bush.

His refusal to hold Democrats responsible for the criminal behavior of the Democrats during the Clinton Administration started a Democrat mindset that if you could brazen it out while in office and not get impeached, arrested or forced to resign you were home free and would never be held accountable or face consequences.

The Democrat/Communist Party is actually the Civil Service/Bureaucrat Party where no one gets blamed and damn few are held accountable for their actions or the results of their actions ... always because “their intentions were good” or, equally as bad, “they were just doing their job.”

The system corrupts nearly everyone we elect into it.

The Tea Party found rising conservative stars and worked to elect them, replacing RINOs. Rubio, Cruz, Ryan, etc all were solid conservatives in their voting record and speeches until they reached DC. Then, all became more and more squishy and in service to the Deep state.

You think putting some new faces with a new party name will change that? You think those people will not get corrupted in the same way?

No, the root problem is the system is the corrupting agent.

Exactly.

We have a system that is far more powerful than those we elect.
