Opinion: Liberals are starting to panic. Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide
Telegraph - UK ^ | October 16, 2024 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 10/18/2024 6:42:34 AM PDT by Red Badger

Denial is not only a river in Egypt. It is also a seductive expedient for the Democratic Party in the waning days of the 2024 presidential election. You see it everywhere in the official activities of the Democratic campaign. WinBlue donations are soaring! The polls still have Harris ahead! Democracy is on the line!

Escaping from the bluster of denial are worrisome little puffs of pandering, always a sure sign that the denial is at best half-believed by the denier.

This is not surprising. Denial is the reliable product of desperation: the realisation, however imperfectly acknowledged, that the jig is up.

Harris’s numbers among men of all races are in the tank. The only exception is among the brittle ephebes of the media and the academy. They are there with their Chardonnay, list of pronouns, and ageing Covid masks to plant Harris-Walz signs on their front lawns and warn against the dangerous tyrant-in-waiting, Donald Trump.

But this is a minuscule, psephologically insignificant cohort. Which is why the Harris-Walz campaign has been driven to desperate measures. In the last week or two, they have rolled out a pitiful litany of feints and diversionary tactics.

Some were unforced errors, as when the news programme 60 Minutes ran a preview of its interview with Harris that prominently included one of her signature no-calorie word salad emissions. CBS excised that response when they aired the full interview, substituting an innocuous reply to some other question. But the damage was done. The original response was widely mocked. The bowdlerised substitute sparked fury and contempt for the hapless, in-the-can-for-Harris behaviour of CBS.

My favourite bit of pandering was the truly horrible “I’m-a-man-and-I’m-voting-for-Harris” ad. It was rightly derided as the “cringiest political ad ever.”

I hope that this is correct. However, we had better be prepared for the left’s violence if this happens.

Just a thought that occured to me. A question really.

If the polling shows Trump is going to run away with it, will the corrupt but very sneaky late-night ballot finder types who end up counting ballots for days on end in the deepest of blue urban voting jurisdictions actually make the risk to their career and even put themselves in legal jeapardy if it’s a lost cause anyway?

In other words, TOO BIG TO RIG might start working early.
They may not even risk trying to cheat if they don’t think they can win anyway.

A truly historic comeback win for Kamala Harris, where the dead will rise and cast their undead votes for the new Queen of the Damned.

I’ve had a looming feeling in my gut - growing over the summer - that this was with intent.

It frightens me more than at any time during the Cold War...

But you know the idiom:

A good defense is a great offense.

I think they’ll happily take that risk. Logic is not their strong suit.

Cheating is in their devious DNA. It will happen. Our work is to blunt it and prosecute what cannot be blunted.

Nobody was inspired by the men who are man enough to vote for kamala four?

They weren’t inspired by the fat boy who eats carburetors for breakfast?

Too big to rig or not, I think “by any means necessary” still means exactly what it says.

This is all voters need to know:

“Biden-Harris Dept of Defense directive 5240.01.”
<><>DOD intel may provide tax-paid personnel to assist a tax-subsided federal dept or agency,
<><>including a federal l/e agency or a state or local l/e enforcement agency
<><>a request for such assistance with tax-paid assets might specify a potential for lethality
<><>the requested assistance may materially involve the use of force
<><>including lethal force likely to inflict death or serious bodily injury to taxpaying Americans.

You know that’s going to happen.

Trump will be the greatest Uniter because 2028 depends on it.

Yup. Hope for the best. Be prepared for the worst. Since the deep state’s (the permanently entrenched bureaucracy that really runs this country right now) survival is at stake...what will they do? What can they do as far as violence...that they would not have done already knowing whats coming? Will they try again to kill Trump? I think so.

Trump wins the popular vote in a landslide;
Libs steal all the important cities in swing states, giving Kamala the winning EC vote;
President Kamala.
