Elections Have Consequences; Cheating Doesn't

Elections Have Consequences; Cheating Doesn't COMMENTARY .By Frank MieleApril 26, 2021 Elections Have Consequences; Cheating Doesn't(Thom Bridge/Independent Record via AP, File) Barack Obama liked to remind us that “elections have consequences.”

Boy, do they! For conservatives like me, the months since Democrats took over the White House and the Senate have been a tsunami of consequences. How do you think I like it when Joe Biden’s handlers aim 60 executive orders at the tip of his pen to effectuate a fundamental transformation of this country? Or when the Democrat-controlled Congress tries to push through statehood for the District of Columbia in order to guarantee their continued control of the Senate? Or when the southern border is turned into a 2,000-mile illegal-immigrant processing center?

Unfortunately, the dictum that “elections have consequences” is not recognized as a legitimate principle when Republicans defeat Democrats. That was obvious when Donald Trump won the 2016 election and spent the next four years being vilified as a Russian puppet, a racist and a danger to the republic. You see, Democrats consider elections to be their most legitimate means of seizing power, but not necessarily the most effective. For them, politics is the continuation of war by other means, and they have been waging war against not just Republicans, but against the Constitution for at least the last 50 years.

We could examine the truth of that statement in multiple arenas, including the attempt to repeal or neuter the Second Amendment, the assault on equal rights in order to replace equality with the Orwellian concept of equity, and of course the aforementioned unconstitutional push to convert D.C. into a state.

The blue field stands for freedom. You can dispense with that.

Sustaining the Steal is the new election integrity.

Not ripping control of the party from collaborators also has consequences. For years it has been obvious that the democrats no longer care about trying to connive or fool people into accepting the merit of their policies. Instead, they have devoted all their time into making it so you can’t vote against them.

And the Mitch McConnell wing as sat their allowing it and even gleefully accepting it..

Elections have consequences, rigged elections have even more consequences.

Yep, re-electing Assistant Democrats is doing us no good whatsoever.
