American Democracy Won’t Survive the Anti-Trump Witch Hunt
MSN ^ | 2/23 | Michael Lind

Posted on 02/24/2024 7:09:54 PM PST by nickcarraway

Around the world, corrupt political regimes are weaponising the courts to go after political rivals. In one country, a prosecutor is trying to persuade a court to impose a prison sentence of up to hundreds of years on a former national leader on the basis of technicalities about handling official documents. In another lawless, illiberal regime, a partisan prosecutor is using a law intended to prosecute organised crime to destroy a politician of the other party.

In a country in which the rule of law is at risk, a prosecutor and a judge seek the financial ruin of an opposition politician and his family through grotesquely exorbitant penalties for minor business malfeasance. And in a fourth country, election officials of one party have gone so far as to remove a presidential candidate of another party from the ballot.

Pakistan? Nicaragua? Russia? No. All of the examples above actually come from one country: the United States of America. Partisan Democrats have utilised the American judicial system to try to imprison or bankrupt President Joe Biden’s likely Republican contender in the 2024 election, Donald Trump.

Things will change if all of the following 4 things happen:

1) Trump is elected in November
2) Conservative Republicans get control of the House
3) Conservative Republicans get control of the Senate
4) The Deep State is successfully purged

If any one of these things fails to occur, nothing will change.

Conclusion: Nothing will change.

The drama these days is hilarious.

Of course America will survive. Our form of government will survive. The people will speak and we will move forward.

The media needs a collective, “Lighten up Francis” moment.

Don’t forget about a country that has sent hundreds of political prisoners to jail. And a country where enemies of the state are fined millions of dollars leading them in poverty.

This is the irony:

All the ones who should be going to prison are trying to put the Clean One in prison.

And rob him by judicial fiat.

Not too surprising. The Obama faction and Clinton factions control the Democrat party.

They are trying to get rid of Biden in time to substitute someone who might be able to win.

Not true!

Things WILL change, when Trump does a Grover Cleveland!

The other items, especially #4, are iffy to NEVER HAPPEN; however, things changed when Trump was president the first time...no wars, no massive influx of ILLEGAL INVADERS, low gas prices, sellers of gas, etc.!

______________________________________________________

Our form of government ended on January 6, 2021 and it did not survive. The people did NOT speak and we moved backward and are continuing to move backward.

The media is no longer controlled by the cabal. We get a slow drip of real articles during this period. It all has to be done at the right pace.

The people will speak, but VOTER FRAUD currently speaks the loudest.

America will survive. I just don’t know what form survival will take.

As for the drama being hilarious, it’s nauseating.

It’s bad to be sure but our Republic has seen worse times… not too many… but we’re not at the bottom yet…

Not for lack of the DNC trying.
