‘Getting Trump’ Doesn’t Solve Anything
American Thinker ^ | 4 Jun, 2024 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 06/04/2024 4:07:23 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The New York Times reports Hillary Clinton saying that if Trump wins the 2024 election “we may never see another actual election.”

Nancy Pelosi tweets: “This moment is a somber one for America. Trial by a jury of peers is a fundamental principle of democracy, which must be respected.”

Really ladies, do women of your experience and wisdom really think like that? You think that Trump could stop elections in the United States -- even if he wanted to? And surely you both know that trial by jury started way before anyone thought of modern democracy, let alone “Our Democracy?” Perhaps you say such things just to energize your supporters.

I keep coming back to this. To understand our liberal friends in the Trump era you have to understand that the wheels are coming off the liberal bus -- and they can’t believe it. How could a carnival barker like Trump become President? Inconceivable! How could populist nationalist movements be popping up all over to challenge the wise rule of People Like Us? Gotta be a conspiracy!

It’s not a conspiracy. Trumpology is occurring because you liberals, Clinton and Pelosi included, did it.

Here’s the problem, dear liberals. It’s not the world that is coming to an end. It’s your world that has reached its sell-by date. The problem is that your regime is crashing and burning. Crashing and burning because your ideas don’t work. And like all rulers down the ages, the last thing that occurs to you is that your power is overweening, your ideas are stupid, and your programs Make Things Worse. No, it must be that far right insurrectionist behind the tree. So you strike out at your fellow Americans, insult them as racist-sexists-homophobes, and treat them as existential enemies and traitors.

I agree that some people are waking up to the progressive insanity.

The problem is though that progressives have built this massive echo chamber using the media and, due to that, many of their followers (and people on the fringe) are bat guano crazy.

I understand where this is coming from but I don’t see it. The left is winning and somehow they are still not satisfied. The cannot stand ANY opposition at all. None. I think we are on the cusp of becoming a left wing one party state using the now useless US Constitution as fig leaf. Smiley face Marxism.

I agree with that. I expect the Democrats to steal the election in November and I expect the changes that they will put in place from 2024-2028 will further transform this country. They will go all out and this place will be unrecognizable. There is no coming back from this debacle.

Hillary left out a very important word in her statement—CORRUPT.

“””The New York Times reports Hillary Clinton saying that if Trump wins the 2024 election “we may never see another actual CORRUPT election.”””””

“”””Do any of you personally know family or friends that have left the dems and are now on the Trump train? We can assume this is happening but are you seeing it?”””


NO, I have no info on any family or friends that are Dem’s who have left. I would be interested to see if any FReepers have.

Except for power a/o control. That’s all the uniparty is interested in obtaining.

...& intimidation for anyone in the future looking into politics to even possibly ‘rock-the-boat’.

When you undermine the power of truth the only thing left against the liars is the power of the citizens.

Fighting for middle class income and real property tax caps now in Congress would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November, with the middle class being defined as persons having income in the range of federal civil servants.

[perhaps]
Federal income taxation shall be capped as follows, on personal income:
below the average yearly apartment rent in the District of Columbia, 10%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the average upper quartile of federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average upper decile of federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 40%.

[All percentages include employee FICA. They do not fully include self-employment tax, so people that pay SE tax might choose to voluntarily invest in the SS system or otherwise arrange for their own retirement funding.]

Americans of Asian ancestry might return to Asia.

Americans of Latin American ancestry might return to Latin America.

Americans of African ancestry might return to Africa.

Americans of European ancestry with valuable skills might have many options in the future.

...another Trump will arise the day after to challenge your power, your failed ideas, and your unjust rule.

In theory, that's the way it should work - and if it was they could not afford to waste so much time and money on getting Trump, himself.

But they've surveyed the landscape and realized that concentrating their efforts in this way will pay big dividends.

“should be exempt from US income tax”

Everybody should have to pay income tax if such a tax is levied.

Everybody should have to repay their student loans. No special breaks should be given to public school teachers or NGO workers.

Veterans of say foreign wars such as Vietnam might be given retroactive combat pay supplementation.

Trial by a jury of peers is a fundamental principle of democracy...

Yes and Trump was denied that.

The problem is that people who are not political junkies(like us) have no idea about anything you just stated. They just heard that Trump got convicted of 34 Felonies. OOH that sounds bad. Not sure what they were for.

These are not stupid people(maybe some are). They just do not like politics. In fact, many HATE politics. They go about their life taking care of business, so to speak. They go to work. Take the kids to school, soccer, field hockey, swimming lessons. They go out to dinner once a week. They get home and make dinner or pick up dinner on the way home.
They turn the TV on watch something mindless for an hour or two and then go to bed. Then the next day they repeat.

However, they vote. They may probably do not vote in the primary because they do not pay attention to politics. They vote every first Tuesday in November every other year. Unless they are too busy living. They do vote in presidential elections because its their civic duty.

I just described about 75% of the people I work with in my office. Most of them make six figure incomes too. They pay a lot of taxes.
