thing is, with Hussein in office and majorities in Congress, they thought they had captured power for all time. The 2016 election convinced them they had taken over and the advent of the Clinton figurehead would be the end of that horrible reactionary Constitution and they could start personally neutralizing, probably even killing, all their enemies. Trump was the only Republican who could have won that election and the only one who could make a difference if he did win.
Yes, Trump was the only one who could have made a difference. Look at the choices we had the last eight election cycles. At best, any elected non-Democrat would only be “less worse” than the Democrat alternative. Trump seemingly just dropped out of thin air. I never saw him coming.
As for the Democrats, they are leftists. On the surface, to the gullible, the tenderhearted, the willfully misled, and those susceptible to the politics of division, the Democrat Party offers an easy solution to their obstacles to Utopia.
We (those that pay attention) know that, at best, there IS no Utopia, and that their pitch is all snake oil.
But we know at worst that putting people like them in charge of the levers of power will result in wars, famines, poverty, and tyranny. We know this because history has shown us with Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba, Venezuela, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, and hundreds of millions dead and many more in poverty the results of Leftism.
It has also shown us over and over again what Leftists DO when they have power...concentration camps, tyranny, show trials, and ubiquitous surveillance of its own people, and eventually murder when they refuse to buckle under, such as Stalin’s deliberate starving of millions of Kulaks, peaking at the rate of 25,000 deaths by starvation each day in 1933 because they continued to resist collectivization of their farms.
All done with a media that either ignored what was happening, or willfully remained ignorant.
That is Leftism. Any time they have power, our Republic is danger at best, and at worst, suffers the accumulated insults of degradation of our way of life.
Apart from the good-hearted liberals (who are largely ignorant of what Leftism really is) I view the Democrat Party as domestic enemies of The Constitution.
We should get ourselves right with this point of view, because they have viewed us not as countrymen, but as their enemies for a long time.
