Has Leftist Lawfare Created the Police State Yet?
American Thinker ^ | 5 May, 2024 | Greg Salsbury

Posted on 05/05/2024 5:45:26 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Increasing numbers of worried Americans have been wondering over the last few years whether progressive Democrats have succeeded in creating a police state in America. From the Russia Hoax to the revelations of the Twitter Files release, to the coordinated attempts to quash scandalous and true Biden family stories, to the blatant display of dual justice, they’ve seen that the cabal of one political party, with its power bases in the government and the sycophant media, has succeeded in limiting or destroying political opponents while eliminating individual rights. Just how bad is it? Has that cabal suspended our American Constitution and Bill of Rights and created an authoritarian alternative? Are we there yet?

In his piece “Shock and Awe on the Campaign Trail,” Roger Kimball outlines the numerous and egregious illegalities and irregularities taking place in the legal assault on candidate Trump and asks, “Why are people not up in arms over these revelations?” Similarly, in his interview with Mike Davis, who founded the “Article III Project,” Steve Bannon says, “I don’t know why people are not more on fire with the ridiculousness, the obvious lawfare, which is working, because Trump is not on the campaign trail.”

These are important questions as we look at the nearly countless unprecedented actions involved in some 91 counts of alleged wrongdoing in federal and local indictments filed against the leading presidential candidate. From the eye-popping civil suit verdicts overseen by judges with serious conflicts of interest to attempts to keep Trump off the ballot in several states, to charges related to classified document handling, to the most recent gag order, these efforts have flown in the face of precedent, due process, and equal protection at nearly every turn. They have already achieved much of what they were intended to do: Greatly hamstring

I think that red state AGs should go after the FBI personnel, prosecutors and judges that are doing this. They should be able to get grand juries to indict each one of these leftists. Use the lawfare to bankrupt them.

Yes, the Democrats have created a police state, and no, the yellow-back Pubbies won't do a thing to counter them.

The Pubbies will still get their 30 Pences of silver by winning their majority red districts in the "elections".

I would say “Yes” it’s just that it’s not been fully implemented yet.

There are just under 3800 colleges in America. The communists have taken over about 130 so do the math and stop carrying the commies’ water.
Oh BTW the answer to your question is no.
Go away.

This is why it is vital that Trump be re-(re)-elected.

Only the Executive can clean up the Executive Branch.

Congress is a mewling kitten compared to the pit bull of the executive.

The Judiciary has been corrupted with only a bit of integrity left thanks to Trump's Supreme Court appointments.

We are much further along the road to Marxism than we dare admit, even to ourselves.

A Republic with fake elections is a Dictatorship. America has been one since Janurary 6 , 2021. The Political prosecutions and the murder of the people protesting that stolen election are merely the signs of a malignant tyranny growing in size.

“...while eliminating individual rights...”

The Oxford dictionary defines a right as a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way. In other words, it is a legal opportunity to accomplish. But if it is legal, and not immoral, then how can it be taken away?

And the answer to that is that a Legal Opportunity is composed of three dimensions: 1) accessibility to courts; 2) availability of justiciable rights; 3) receptivity of the judiciary toward a social movement’s claims. And the third of those three erases any opportynity to an opportunity from the first two. So for all these years you have heard about rights, they don’t exist except in the smoke screen and have been thrown at many different situations as a catch all tool...a lie.

“Has Leftist Lawfare Created the Police State Yet?”

Not yet but if the Democrats steal the 2024 election like they did in 2020 ... good bye Republic.
