2008 Redux?

The prospect of a potential Biden presidency and a radical left Democratic administration running the country fills me with dread. But I believe it is instructive to compare my dread to what I felt 12 years ago when I contemplated the imminent Obama administration.

According to his own words, Obama planned to bring about radical changes to American society. Here’s a partial list of his intentions:

• Nationalization of health care.
• Massive tax increases, sharply indexed.
• Cap & Trade and other crippling societal maneuvers aimed to avert or ameliorate imminent and severe – but unsubstantiated – climate change calamities.
• Drastic reduction of the military, an end to overseas deployments and the subjugation of American foreign policy interests to international “opinion.”
• Legalization of illegal aliens, and policies intended to foster more of them.
• Massive federal spending to address “societal needs.”
• Crippling new federal regulations to regulate (i.e., overregulate) American business.
• Card check and other favored programs to elevate the power of unions.
• Change of tone involving acknowledgment of enormous crimes committed by the USA against peoples of color, indigenous peoples, and victims of foreign colonization.

• Nationalization of health care.
• Massive tax increases, sharply indexed.
• Cap & Trade and other crippling societal maneuvers aimed to avert or ameliorate imminent and severe – but unsubstantiated – climate change calamities.
• Drastic reduction of the military, an end to overseas deployments and the subjugation of American foreign policy interests to international “opinion.”

I think the thrust of this article is basically, “Obama didn’t change things very much, and Biden won’t either.”

I totally reject that. I think Obama ushered in vast cultural change. I think their plan was to get Hillary in office in 2016 and complete the changes. That didn’t work out. Now, with Biden/Harris, these people are going to stomp on the accelerator and change as much as they can, as fast as they can. There will be no holding back and average Americans are going to shocked at how quickly this country drops off a cliff.

You may not be frightened.....but I am frightened out of my gourd.

There is NO comparison with 2008 and 2020!

The Socialist/Communist Party has clearly signaled what they will do to us and our country!

Be afraid!..Be very afraid!....if they get to!

Drastic reduction of the military, an end to overseas deployments and the subjugation of American foreign policy interests to international “opinion.”

This last bullet point is wrong. There will be a surge of deployments to the endless war to provide the CIA with non-Congressional drug and human trade revenue.

They are 10x more powerful now than in 2008. They’ve captured almost every institution on the USA. The hour is very late and our will to fight seems nonexistent. In short, they fight, we don’t.

[americas.best.days...]

Additionally, their first order of business will be to create conditions that insure that no outsider, like Trump, is ever able to get into power again, at every level. Whether it’s illegals citizenship, statehood for PR/DC,electoral interference(already in place).

The author of this article is obtuse.

[sketchboy]

And we had to fight tooth and nail to prevent as much of that as we could.

Time to take the gloves off and really sock it to ‘em this time.

[servantboy777]

It’s all about the Supreme Court and the GA. senate seats now.

Lose the White House, keep the senate, we still have the ability to neuter the leftist.

Lose them all, it’ll be pretty ugly.

> There is NO comparison with 2008 and 2020!

No kidding. Obama didn’t have to resort to stealing the election in 2008. Voters soundly rejected the left this year, so they went ahead and seized power anyway.

They’re going to be totally unrestrained now.

“ Americans are going to shocked at how quickly this country drops off a cliff.”

Yes, just wait until we validate Antifa/BLM belief that they hold the entire country hostage with their unrequited violence.

[Dr. Pritchett]

And if you thought the leftist media started feeling its oats and flexing its muscles after what they did to Nixon, and now Trump, you ain’t seen nothing yet!!

[originalbuckeye]

Notice how Agenda 21 turned into Agenda 2030? Hillary didn’t do her part, so their plan was disrupted.

And I was frightened when Obama won in 2008. I was sickened when he won again in 2012 and ended up in the ER with spiking blood pressure a few days later.

This will not go well for the Freedom loving American people.

If this stolen election is allowed to stand every election going forward will be stolen. Biden cannot under any circumstances be allowed to take office. I am hopeful Trump is prepared to do whatever it takes.

I think on December 18th you are going to see DNI Ratcliffe come out with a formal announcement that there was direct foreign intervention in our election. That opens the door for the Insurrection act.

“Additionally, their first order of business will be to create conditions that insure that no outsider, like Trump, is ever able to get into power again, at every level.”

Absolutely right! That’s why I guffaw when I read “Trump 2024”.

Changes....”and Biden won’t either.”

However, O’bozo had Biden.... Biden has Harris and all the other and MANY forceful, experienced and unprincipled criminals who can and WILL push the agenda forward.

With O’Bozo, the DNC didn’t dare push their luck and further tarnish HIS image anymore than positively necessary... For them, it was enough that they got away with smuggling him in the back door of the WH.

But, consider, after yanking the Presidency right out from under a legitimately elected man, in real-time, right under our noses and in full view of the world... what CAN’T they try and achieve??

Nothing will stop them this time.... not laws, not protocol, not regulations, not public opinion, not rules...CERTAINLY not the Constitution or the electors.... NOTHING!!!
