A Time of Chaos Upon Chaos Atop Chaos
American Greatness ^ | 22 Nov, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 11/23/2020 6:47:47 AM PST by MtnClimber

There are a series of battles to come in January 2021, in 2022, and in 2024 that will be definitive, if the chaos of 2020 does not become even more chaotic.

America will weather its current hysterias.

But the tensions and furor are reminiscent of the last generations of the Roman Republic. In its last century, Romans began to adjudicate politics by obsequious partisan town criers (their version of our media), mass demonstrations, and freelance street gangs. Looters, arsonists, and demonstrators did pretty much as they pleased in the streets of Rome without fear of legal consequences.

In our time, the media has now vanished—kaput, no more, ended.

Within a few hours, it goes from a Ministry-of-Truth love session with Joe Biden to a steaming verbal assault on the president’s press secretary—without a shred of awareness how ridiculous they appear in their passive-aggressive schizophrenia. The only constant is that reporters unapologetically seem to jettison their principles and professionalism to calibrate what they say and do by whose politics they support. They would prefer to be entirely discredited under a Biden presidency than be real journalists during a Trump Administration.

In the GOP, deep state actors disloyal to Trump are trying to sabotage his administration causing to fight this war on several fronts, not entirely knowing who to trust.

On top of a layer of chaos, with another layer of chaos underneath. And several more layers of chaons sandwiched in the middle.

If we do not prevail this year, 2022 and 2024 will not matter.

Elections that are rigged are impossible to win.

The Leftists LIKE chaos.

Empty the insane asylums, empty the prisons, revolving doors on jails. Celebrate riots and terrorism by the Weather Underground, Black Panthers, SLA... They have raised up these terrorists as “icons” of the Left and gave them seats in academia.

They start thousands of dumpster fires (men in women’s showers, wars on language, etc ) to provide cover for everything else they seek to push through.

I like Victor Davis Hanson but this article was not well thought out and is basically bogus. If the massive vote fraud of 2020 is allowed to stand there isn’t going to be a 2024.

First the press will never get bored enough to start questioning anything about Biden, the left wing or the election. Their attitude toward this 2020 voting fraud is “needs must when the devil drives”.

What we are experiencing right now is not election fraud it is an attempt to overthrow the legitimate process of the transfer of power as dictated by the constitution. Since we are currently laboring under a declaration of national emergency I believe that Trump has the moral high ground to invoke the insurrection act, declare martial law, clean out the swamp and then hold elections in 12 months.

The non-negotiable minimum which Trump’s lawsuits must accomplish is a consent decree exacted from the Democrats that will guarantee that either they fully transparently conduct future elections in precincts under their control or the Democrat votes such precincts submit will count at only half the reported value. Including absentee ballots.

In the 21st Century, internet connected cameras can be installed (and supervised by Republicans and other cameras).

(The cost of such must be borne by the Republicans - with money not regulated by CFR laws. So if the Democrats want the same for themselves in Republican precincts, they can knock themselves out).

A few weeks ago I would have thought such a proposal to be insane. But now it appears it might be the only way our Republic can be saved. The situation is THAT bad.

I did not come lightly to this conclusion but recent history shows us that in the past four years not one Democrat operative that was involved in the rolling coup to just Trump has been brought to justice. These traitors will never face a civilian court. Military tribunals are the only way forward to clean out the rats nest in the alphabet agencies.

If Joe Biden is allowed to take office the risk of never seeing a fair election again is too high to contemplate. IMO it cannot be allowed to happen.

I have been praying for this.

Further: the progs do not get to choose. This must happen or they will just continue on ignoring all law, the people, and the nation’s well-being.
