Democracy, Democrat style
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jul, 2024 | J.A. Frascino

Democrats love to incite fear in voters that a Trump/MAGA/Republican takeover of government imposes an existential “threat to democracy!” They base their fear campaign primarily on the report of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, citing Trump as the leader of an insurrection.

But was the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol an attempt to overthrow a duly elected administration? Not really. It was a protest against what was believed to be a corrupt election process. In that sense, it was an action taken to preserve a democratic process, not to subvert it. The committee should have been charged with determining if the event were indeed an insurrection, not with prejudicially defining it as such and proceeding with prosecution. (The committee consisted of seven Democrats and two Republicans —- Adam Kinsinger who endorses Biden for 2024, and avowed Trump hater Liz Cheney.)

If elected, Trump will be a fascist dictator who will never rescind his position as president. He will wreak revenge — even death — on his political opponents (….and you may be next!). He is an agent of Putin. If we want to preserve our democracy, he must be defeated. Biden, at a NYC fundraiser in Sept. ‘23: “And let there be no question. Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy.” Exactly how Trump might execute such an historic upheaval in permanent Washington has yet to be divulged.

And how, by contrast, is the Democrat Party defending and upholding democracy? Let us count the ways:

1. Embracing judicial activism by establishing a DOJ guided by personal and political bias. Utilizing contrived legal arguments to incarcerate a political opponent. Railing against the Supreme Court for adhering to Constitutional restraint rather than yielding to leftist ideology....

Marxism is not compatible with our constitution. The left is the threat to our Constitutional Republic.

“Our Democracy” = “Their Democracy” = you shut the hell up and obey. And if you don’t? Your a threat to “Our Democracy.”

The communists in the US used to run their own candidate (Gus Hall) for President of the US.
Now they support the Democrat party. The Communist party has never changed their platform of Communism, It is the democrats that have moved into the commie camp.
