Unified rule for Democrats would end America as we know it
The Hill ^ | October 20, 2020 | Kristin Tate

Posted on 10/20/2020 9:01:44 AM PDT by karpov

In a matter of years, the United States could become unrecognizable: One-party control that can push through any legislation, no matter how radical. A fundamentally transformed Supreme Court that legislates rather than deliberates. Top-down federal control over nearly every aspect of American life. The only thing standing between us and such a dystopian vision is the result of the November election.

Moderate voters believe they are casting their ballots for the Democrat who talks about “bipartisanship” in a television ad and will get Joe Lieberman. But in reality, those voters are unknowingly pulling the levers for leftism that stands to fundamentally alter our nation and its institutions for generations to come. Should Democrats obtain unified control of both houses of Congress and the White House, a variety of radical propositions stand to become reality. And before you scoff at what a libertarian writer considers “radical,” consider that the issues Democrats are pushing now would have been considered impossible — indeed, laughable — just a few years ago.

Everything would be on the table. Everything. With control of the House, Senate and White House, the left could remake this country in ways that most Americans cannot yet fathom. If Senate Democrats killed the legislative filibuster, and there is every indication that they would, then through a simple majority the Biden-Harris administration would take on powers of what was previously reserved for a congressional supermajority. And there is precious little that Republicans could do to stop it.

A train without brakes is a dangerous thing. What is likely to be termed “Supreme Court reform” has been tried before with disastrous effects. Expanding the court with a handful of young left-wing justices with lifelong terms would remodel the third branch of government into a new, unelected legislative body.

They had “unified control” from 2009-2011. They didn’t do much with it as I recall, other than line their own pockets.

Oh, they passed Obamacare. Where is that today?

I thought everyone was going to be herded into it, that there would be no alternative. Perhaps I misunderstood it.

Blah blah blah

There’s no way they could impose New York City Minneapolis or Seattle on the entire United States it just would never happen

What you can get with Far leftist idiots like Brock Hussein Obama is in action stupidity and cowardice like Ben Ghazi

I don’t think we really need any hyperbole it’s the simple President Trump is the greatest president ever in history of United States and Joe Biden is a complete loser

Unified Democrat rule under FDR ended the Republic and left only Arbitrary government in its wake. What more could it do than end even the appearance of the Republic that survived FDR and those like him?

Removing the individual mandate made it irrelevant, at least to me. For the first time in my life, I stopped health care insurance the day it became the law of the land. My wife and I are both almost 67. We’ve saved over 100,000 in health insurance premiums since then, and that health insurance would have had such a high deductible that it would have been pretty worthless anyway.

In that time there has been no drugs and one useless ER visit. That’s it. But we take responsibility for our health and also have faith in the Great Healer. And he has been faithful!

This assumes that CWII doesn’t start in reaction to the election results.

Even when the Democrats were in full control of Congress and the White House in 2009-2011there were brakes with the filibuster and the Supreme Court. The big difference now is that the Democrats have gone full socialist and the radicals running the party will do anything to have single party rule and more important to suppress any opposition. Trump hatred extends to anyone who supported Trump and the radicals will seek vengeance. The cancel culture and race theory will wipe out our history and treat whites especially white males with a contempt that will rival the Nazi treatment of the Jews in the early 1930s. Talk radio will be silenced and the Internet will be censored much like in China. A social credit system again like in China will be instituted to dole out government benefits including health care. If you aren’t totally in line with what the government wants you to think and do...no health care for you.

The first task will be to disarm the people. That will create open and violent revolt. I could see a President Harris (Joe will be replaced in six months due to senility) order military troops to quell a rebellion. Whether US troops will open fire on civilians remains to be seen. I would expect wide spread mutiny. Gun confiscation will be the fuse that starts a civil war

“My wife and I are both almost 67.”

So you are both covered by Medicare.

In my post is the reason I left Seattle. Everything and everyone I voted for lost. And they got the government they deserved. So I moved away.

On the national level it will be more difficult. That’s why I moved to such a rural area in Kentucky. I expect the government to mostly leave me alone here, though they may eventually make me stop burning my garbage. :)

And the first ten minutes of Inglorious Basterds is scary. (i.e. if they want you, they will find you no matter where you are) ;)

It’s really very simple. Just look at California and ask yourself: do I want the entire USA to look like that? If not, don’t put the Harris/TBD ticket into office (we all know that Biden will not be acting as President for more than a few seconds if he gets elected).

FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts.

Why isn’t this an issue in this 2020 campaign by the Republicans ?

.. Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.

In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3873820/posts
.Also did this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3877896/posts and this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3880192/posts

.. HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT FUNDING STUFF LIKE THIS

.. And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress An example is Illinois 3rd district
.. Todays Democrats weren’t happy with this father then son votes against abortion and the son’s being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports. To stop this the demoncrats decided to remap the areas which supported them for their primary. The ward (the 23rd) and the congressional district formerly the 5th which they changed into being the 3rd Illinois congressional by taking ward areas which are dominated by hispanic fore names and placing them into the Louis Gutierez district.

In the reshaped 3rd Congressional district primary Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd. which was “re-mapped in 2012 after former alderman and ward committeeman now congressman William O Lipinski annouced his retirement and wanted his son for his congressional replacement .

The remap was replacing ward boundaries of the 14th known as the stockyards which had experienced demographic changes. They chopped up and called sections of not only the 23 rd but the of adjacent 12th and 15th wards now the 14th ward

Where because Chicago alderman oversee routing of such things as garbage collections it affected getting city services . Some have complained of seeing rodents since as well as complained of poor road maintainence in their distrct.Now with this remap if your residence was in one ward. Now has your neighbor across the street or a block down is in another ward

.. The 5th was a district in the 1950’s which was a part of the third largest school district in the country run by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. Those city wards were primarily composed of dozens of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities centered around their churches and their schools. Hence opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather for issues that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway.

Those Wards once were reliable supporters of Dan’s father, William O Lipinski. But after the 2012 redistricting the number of precincts in the 23rd were cut back to 39 and even their ward headquarters location was stuck in another ward.

And where many wards had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Louis Gutieriez’s district. Where areas where buildings were abandoned affected by the no money down home mortgages or had changed because of this. The ward such as the 14th known as Back of The Yards because of the former stock yards which has since relocated was remapped to include portions of other wards mainly the 23rd which Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.

In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

I do and actually right now, just read the most accurate “ forecaster” in modern times, Martin Armstrong, and he has repeatedly discussed his models show the destruction and death of the Demoncratic party, and a Trump victory in the most corrupt election in history and much more.Patience, the Demoncrat Party is dying, fractured, and will be buried by 2024.... Of course a lot of volatility in everything, markets, society, etc. I have been following him since 2003, he has been spot on,even calling to.the.day the recent market high ( and correction) years ago....Also of interest is the West’s permanent destruction in 2030-2032.
