This Isn’t an Election, It’s a Hostage Situation
American Greatness ^ | August 24, 2020 | Adam Mill

...Let’s stop and think about what is really being said about Trump’s culpability in the riots and violence. The looters, vandals, arsonists, thugs, and, in some cases, murderers, are not responsible for their actions because they’re reacting to Trump’s “rhetoric,” his “provocations,” and his tweets. This excuse—Trump made me mad so I can be violent—should be dismissed as ridiculous. It reminds us of what an abusive husband says to justify beating his wife. If only Trump would apologize and learn to adopt leftist policies, then there could be peace. But he insists upon charting an offensive and non-conforming political agenda. What choice do the rioters have?

In light of last week’s Democratic National Convention and Joe Biden’s speech, we’re left to wonder: Is this an election or a hostage situation?

While many rightly condemned Biden for his silence in the face of the rising violence in so many cities, it’s not entirely accurate to state he’s ignoring the violence. Last week’s acceptance speech actually endorses the “Trump provocateur” justification for the “darkness” in which we find ourselves.

“The current president has cloaked America in darkness for much too long,” Biden said at the outset of his speech. “Too much anger. Too much fear. Too much division.”

Whose anger? Who caused the fear? Who caused the division? Trump did—the same way he created the riots. He failed to bend the knee to the church of wokeness. The solution, Biden reminded us, is ending dissent and uniting to unite, Chinese-style, under a single harmonious philosophy...This isn’t a campaign of persuasion. It’s more like a block-letter ransom note carefully constructed to avoid fingerprints. It sure would be a shame if something happened to your nice towns and cities if you vote incorrectly again.

Nice head you have there. Be a shame if it exploded.

Wilmington insurrection of 1898

Waddell’s speech so inspired the crowd that the Red Shirts left the convention and started terrorizing black citizens and their white allies, in the eastern part of the state, right away. They destroyed property, ambushed citizens with weapon fire, and kidnapped people from their homes and whipped them at night, with the goal of terrorizing them to the point where Republican sympathizers would be too afraid to vote, or even register to do so.[23]

The problem as I see it: the Dems KNOW Trump will completely wallop Biden. They’re idiots, but they’re not pants-on-head basketcases. They’ve managed to hoodwinks blacks for this long, so they know how to follow a playbook. Choosing Biden, a demonstrably incompetent dementia patient, is really phoning it in that they’re about to attempt a coup d’etat using every possible method of cheating the system.

I think as the returns come in, we’re going to hear louder and louder calls for chaos, because they’ll know they’re losing bad. The end result, however, will be the individual Democrat election fraud factories will start cranking out the votes needed to make it seem like Republicans are disenfranchising the voters, and we’ll wind up with situations as this author proposes. They tipped their hands over the last few elections with 2016 showing they’ve perfected it enough to turn it into a “grassroots” strategy.

I’m genuinely in fear for what’s coming in November. I suspect we’re going to see some serious fireworks in this country by Christmas.

“I’m genuinely in fear for what’s coming in November. I suspect we’re going to see some serious fireworks in this country by Christmas.”

Gonna be a lose-lose situation.

Embrace your fear cause we’re fixing to hit a wash-board road.

Besides.... FEAR NOT SAITH THE LORD.

“It sure would be a shame if something happened to your nice
towns and cities...”

Would be?

Oh, you mean to more of them...

The American Voting Public probably should not, and likely
will not, negotiate with these terrorists much longer, now
that we all have this nice fresh demonstration of what they
continue to do to the cities we’ve let them run. And to the
families and businesses subject to their deadly and destructive rule.

At least the choice is clear. Vote for Rule by Terror, or
vote to continue our Constitutional experiment.

Easy.

Too easy, in fact. There seems to be so much acting, and
over acting going on, I’m just going to suggest that
everyone be on the lookout for a big “Limited Hangout”
where you are TOLD that you have won, and a few bad actors
are sacrificed to promote said view...

All while the “Business” continues right along, only a bit more discreetly.

Just a thought... I may “Trust the Plan”, but Verification
will remain an Eternal Necessity.
