In some ways, at least according to Democrats, their party is in a strong position. President Trump is in a lose-lose with the border wall dispute. Either he caves in, providing a total victory for Democrats and destroying the President’s credibility with his base; or he doubles down in which case we’re in for a long siege with the government shutdown, because Democrats will never bend.
Democrats have everything to gain by not bending because their base–their entire party–cares about nothing but destroying President Trump. Theirs is a movement of pure hatred. What they fail to see: Hatred is not a lasting motive. Hatred cannot sustain a person or a movement. President Trump will not be around forever. Best case (from a pro-Trump point-of-view)? His political career is done in six years. What then for Democrats, when they no longer have him to push around? If they succeed in impeaching or even jailing him, as they claim they will be, then “what then?” comes even sooner.
The irrationality and ultimately self-defeating nature of unreasoning hatred manifests itself in what has become of the Democrat Party. The elders of the leftist movement are fixated on obstructing and destroying the President. Nothing else matters. If they had shown even 5 percent of this resolve when it came to — let’s say, destroying ISIS — then ISIS would have been diminished back when Obama was in the White House.
While the party elders fixate on destroying President Trump — since that’s all their supporters seem to want — the truly crazy loons in the party have risen to the surface. Reason and rationality are no longer even superficially on the side of the Democrats. The price of destroying President Trump — if they can even do it — will be high for the Democrats. Because they are now the party of 90 percent tax rates, unlimited government welfare, unlimited socialized medicine, total control of education, unlimited spending on illegal immigrants making the United States the welfare state for the entire world. And it’s not just “welfare”. It’s free college, free medical care, free everything for everyone as far as the eye can see. It’s socialism on a scale and with a price tag that Karl Marx himself never dared envision. THESE are the policies and principles of the Democratic Party that they must attempt to implement — once they succeed at destroying President Trump, assuming they can even do it.
And keep in mind: If the Democrats do destroy President Trump, they will face an angry mob of deplorables and others — probably even a few former Democrats — who are outraged by the totalitarianism and injustice of it all. It’s not going to be easy or pretty for Democrats, because their hatred of President Trump is an expression of hatred for any and all who disagree with them. Those of us who have encountered Democrats in our daily lives know that’s the mentality of that movement. It’s all hatred.
Democrats are a smug but also incredibly naive bunch. Who else could be swayed by socialism and Communism in the first place?
They’re happy now. But down the road? Don’t be so sure. Because the Trump years have taught us one important lesson. Dissenting opinions — like guns in the hands of civilized people — are not going away.
Democrats will have a hell of a battle on their hands when (and if) they finally get to impose their warped version of Utopia on the citizens of a still great and thriving nation, with many great and beautiful people in it. Remember this, because it may become more relevant than you think a lot sooner than you wish to believe.
If the corruption/sedition isn’t outed AND punished, i don’t think we make it.
They actually believe they’re going to be able to rule tens of millions of people who they just flipped off and told “elections don’t matter”.
This is a very amatuer analysis.
If and when the Demorats retake the White House, what type of relations do they expect to have with Russia?
Annihilation!
A friend sent me this in an email this morning, well worth reading and keeping in mind when the BS about eliminating the electoral collage is being spewed by those who insist that they have the right to rule over the rest of us.
"Subject: 319 Square Miles"
In their infinite wisdom, the United States' Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented.
Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.
Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!
And...it's been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation's problems foment.
Toxic shock, appropriately enough.
When. What the hell is wrong with right now?
The DemonRats and MSM have spent the past 2-1/2 years showing us their playbook which included resist, collusion, lies, and impeach. In other words, do anything necessary to accomplish their end goals. Do they believe they’re immune to the same behavior turned on them? If so, they’re even more insane than we think.
In my opinion, the DemonRATs will rue the day they showed us and the world how to act when things don’t go their way. They can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Karma and turnabout is fair game, and all that!
That’s why they want to disarm you.
Democrats made laws prohibiting slaves from owning firearms.
Now Democrats want to make laws prohibiting YOU from owning firearms.
Do you see a pattern here?
Really a very naive article. The very thought that the Democrats would even care especially Obama about destroying Isis is really a stupid assumption. The article also presumes to think that President Trump can’t possibly win the government shutdown I differ with that opinion.
An optimistic piece. I am not so sure there are enough wise and uncorrupted people remaining in the US to counter a socialist future.
The Democrats don't need Trump to hate on. The whole of Normal America is a target rich environment. They were hating on us before he showed up, and will continue to do so after he's out of office.
Democrat leadership won’t pay, their constituents will.
The only things they seem to be "for" are all decidedly un-American:
Democrats are "for" illegal aliens.
Democrats are "for" gun-control and usurping Constitutionally protected rights.
Democrats are "for" gender ridiculousness.
Democrats are "for" killing unborn babies.
Democrats are "for" allowing Islam, one of the most hateful and hate-filled "religions" to spread unchecked.
Democrats are "for" election fraud in the form of "vote harvesting." This one goes along with promoting illegal invaders and being against voter ID laws.
Bravo! I’m going to have to save those stats...
Not rule, kill - at least 35,000,000 adjusted for population growth, up from the 25,000,000 Weather Underground estimate.
Perhaps I am oversimplifying, but the Whig Party of the 19th century was an anti-Jackson Party. When he stopped being a political power (several years after he left the Presidency) the Whigs faded away.
What is going on is simple, if the Rats can keep things going at the border for just a few more years that plus the vote harvesting they will never lose another National Election. The House, the Presidency and the SC will theirs for the foreseeable future there simply won’t be enough votes to do anything about it.
