The Leftist Strategy: Take America Down before Anyone Notices
American Thinker ^ | 18 Jul, 2022 | Peggy Ryan

Posted on 07/18/2022 3:44:04 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Admiral Grace Hopper once said it's "much easier to apologize than to get permission." She's right. To ask is to risk being endlessly bounced through the bureaucracy or swamped in useless, redundant forms. Even worse, you could be told no.

Today many in position to make laws or issue orders are fully embracing this plan: push ahead, ignore the law, and just get it done. The beauty of this plan is that it's much harder, if not impossible, to undo something already in place. Thus the Deep State, globalists, insurgents utilize the "don't ask, can't fail" strategy, where even an unlawful or unconstitutional order is treated as real law until the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) says otherwise.

Thus, these racketeers can enforce their illegitimate orders for months, even years while the case makes its way through the judicial maze. If they lose the case, they can appeal to a higher court and appeal again and again until the case finally reaches SCOTUS. Watching our illustrious court system in action is like watching grass grow in a drought.

Case in point: The "pandemic" caught the American people off guard, and governors-turned-dictators trampled the Constitution. They closed schools, imposed martial law, shut down small businesses, even churches and synagogues. When businesses could "reopen," they were restricted on how much of their space could be utilized, how many customers allowed in at a time.

This autocratic takeover shows how the "just do it" scheme can quickly bring an entire nation to heel. Government can issue any order, even one that blatantly defies existing state law or the Constitution because no one can stop them real time.

Ignoring the Constitution until the Supreme Court rules against you, then defy the Court by making even more anti-Constitutional laws & edicts.

That is how a Republic dies. It takes little longer than an armed revolution, but is probably more permanent and safer.

Why do we have to follow somebody’s special dream and vision every 4 years? Is simple bureaucratic administration too much to ask for?

That sword cuts both ways..... just do it. It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

People ARE noticing -
and self-selecting themselves to be either sheep or goats.

Millions are tired of it. Millions and millions want heads to roll

The only question is are there enough millions to overwhelm the DimWIT vote cheat system in November?

This was how they cemented the “Affordable Care Act” into place.

They knew it was unconstitutional.

But they also knew that if they front-loaded it with bureaucracy, buying/leasing building, filling offices with desks, computers, equipment, hiring people, that by the time it went in front of the Supreme Court and was declared unconstitutional...like a tick with its blood sucking head buried deeply into the host, it wasn’t going to be extracted.

Because their policies have no real mandate from the public, this is their approach. They are doing the same thing with Climate Change and energy policy.

Damn them all to Hell. Damn them.

Most recently, I forget which of Biden’s henchman said in the last couple days that they’re going to institute “strong”
Action on climate “with or without Congress.”

Sorry, Ben, even after electing Trump, we still failed to keep the Republic that you fought for. Socialism will be next on the American menu.

The ONES WHO GIVE THE ORDERS need to have “accidents”, or simply disappear.
