CBS Warns GOP Midterm Wins One of the ‘Top Global Risks’ in 2022
Newsbusters ^ | 4 Jan 2022 | Kyle Drennen

On Tuesday, CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil and Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer sounded the alarm over the possibility of Republicans winning big in the 2022 midterm elections, something they hysterically labeled one of “the top global risks” in the year ahead. The pair claimed any GOP victory in the midterms or the 2024 presidential contest would be seen as “illegitimate.”

“A new report is detailing what it says are the biggest risks facing the globe in 2022 and the findings may surprise you,” Dokoupil declared. Turning to Bremmer, he touted: “Number three, midterm elections here in the U.S., a top risk for 2022. How come?”

In reply, Bremmer wailed:

Well, maybe the least of the surprises. This is the most important midterm election in American history. We have January 6 coming up in just a day and as you know, since the profoundly challenged elections of 2020, no lessons have been learned at all in the United States. The country is much more divided and a large number of Americans, 64% in an NPR poll yesterday, say they thought the United States’ democracy was in crisis.

He went on to specifically identify the Republican Party as the source of the supposed global threat: “…the United States has an election process that is increasingly broken, increasingly delegitimized. And the midterm elections, especially if you have significant win for a Trump-led Republican Party, means that 2024 is going to be seen as illegitimate and potentially a constitutional crisis.”

The election is only seen as illegitimate and a constitutional crisis if the Republicans win.

And don't forget "the end of democracy" - if people don't vote the way the Democrats and the media want.

It sounds like the Communist Broadcasting System (SeeBS) might need somebody to set up a GoFundMe page for them.

To fully understand the Democrats fear about the “end of Democracy” you have to understand that their definition of “Democracy” is the same as that in the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.”

Wonder what the dems will do if they lose the House and Senate. Will they just roll over and accept it like we do?

Their problem is: it’s easy to cheat in a presidential election because there are only two major candidates. For congressional elections there are hundreds.

They will have difficulties printing the fake ballots and ru ning them through the fake machines.

I can hear them struggling right now. They don’t even know who the candidates are.

This entire notion that Republicans will end our democracy (sic), will bring about rebellion, take away our constitution is all over the MSM right now, even in other countries. They tell us a GOP win cannot be tolerated lest the world devolves into chaos, or Trump will end American democracy (sic again).

It seems quite a bit like saying Republicans, Trump and anyone who supports them are too dangerous to be allowed to hold office, almost to the point that they have no right to exist.

Is anyone else seeing this?

So true!

Not sure about this year’s midterms, but they’re definitely setting up Trump 2024 as Lincoln 1860, i.e., an election outcome that half the country (and the entire elite establishment) will violently reject.

CBS only believes in “democracy” when elections go their way.

Oh yes. It’s been obvious for years. If you aren’t a woke liberal you are evil and need to be eliminated. They don’t even try to hide it.
