2024 is shaping up to be one of the hotly contested presidential elections in history, but we have been here before, even way back at the beginning of our embattled republic. The 1800 campaign was hotly contested and stands out as notably acrimonious even now from the vantage point of two hundred more years of acrimonious campaigns.
In those days, the candidates themselves did not campaign, but others more than took up the slack. According to Rating America’s Presidents, the Federalist Hartford Courant sounded the alarm about the consequences of electing the deist Jefferson president: “Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will all be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes.” A Federalist leaflet invoked the bloody excesses of the French Revolution: “Can serious and reflecting men look about them and doubt that if Jefferson is elected, and the Jacobins get into authority, that those morals which protect our lives from the knife of the assassin—which guard the chastity of our wives and daughters from seduction and violence—defend our property from plunder and devastation, and shield our religion from contempt and profanation, will not be trampled upon and exploded?”
Jefferson’s supporters gave this right back, calling Adams’s presidency “one continued tempest of malignant passions.” They claimed that he planned to marry off one of his sons to a daughter of British King George III and start an American monarchy. That was one of the milder charges; Adams’s wife Abigail lamented that during the 1800 campaign, enough “abuse and scandal” was published “to ruin and corrupt the minds and morals of the best people in the world.”

P
I knew this would happen once the democRATS went full fascist NAZI.
It’s nothing new and just the tip of the iceberg.
Biiiiiiig Backlash coming....
It’s not new...

More and more of that is becoming eerily familiar.
It will need to get a lot worse if any positive changes are to occur. We cannot be “united” with these people anymore. Splitting up territory will help to limit the inevitable violence that is coming. Smart and serious people should already be working on that.
We need to think in terms of war crimes trials, not just elections.
Never to be forgiven nor forgotten.
at some point, they’ll drum up a charge....
then send some flunkies to arrest and take him into custody.
after that, they’ll Epstein him.
Only a county sheriff can prevent that.
if they succeed... the sh*t will hit the fan.
The regime is weaponizing the FBI against political opponents like Biden’s old boss did with the the IRS, the FBI, the intelligence community, etc. And all the #Democrats support it. Every. Single. One.
What’s their endgame?

Only 222 years off.
Not just the democrats. Mitch McConnell took 24 hours to watch the fallout before deciding he should make a statement, ironically demanding immediate answers from the FBI. You know damn well he was on board with this and only did that because of the public reaction.
This makes the Watergate break in look like a kid stole his sister’s Girl Scout cookies.
The left is going after the entire bill of rights. The only one they haven’t tried to get rid of is stationing troops in citizens homes.
Wonder when that’s coming?? Probably a while. They spend their money on IRS agents and using up our Javelin missiles supporting Ukraine. Don’t imagine they will have enough soldiers to have to station.
Recruiting is way down.
Maybe not enough coming in to replace the “one and done” set.
Not sure, but seems very possible.
