The purpose of constantly invoking the specter of a dictatorship under Trump is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses.
By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president.
But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps.
She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he’s been subjected to.
The vice president, her voice rising in outrage, jabbed her finger at Baier and said, “You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”
At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn’t support him to be an enemy of the United States. “He is saying he would use the military to go after them.”
Earlier this week, during an audio town hall with Charlamagne Tha God, Harris claimed without a hint of irony that if Trump is elected he’ll use the Department of Justice “as a weapon against his political enemies,” adding, “You know who does that? Dictators do that.” At one point during the show, she agreed with a caller who said Trump will lock “anyone who doesn’t look white into camps,” replying, “You’ve hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well.”
That’s just a sampling from this week, but there are many other recent examples. In the waning weeks of the presidential election, Harris has been deploying increasingly extreme rhetoric about Trump and the dangers he poses to the country. Even before Harris seized the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden, the idea that Trump is an existential threat to American democracy was the refrain of the Biden campaign. Harris has taken that theme and run with it.
The purpose of it isn’t just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric).
Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November.
Consider the lopsidedness of the rhetoric between the Trump and Harris campaigns. Trump often makes sweeping (and mostly true) statements about the deep state, about the border and illegal immigration, about crime, about how Harris and the Democrats are destroying the country. But when he uses the phrase “destroying the country,” he’s talking about things like crime, homelessness, drug addiction, rampant inflation and the cost of groceries. These things, he says, are the result of policies Democrats have put in place. If you’re looking for someone to blame, he says, blame Biden and Harris, because all these problems are their fault.
But that’s not what Harris and the Democrats are doing with their rhetoric. They’re not making a case that crime and inflation will be worse under Trump because of his policies. Democrats aren’t really interested in policy.
What they’re doing is pushing a narrative that Trump is going to be a fascist dictator if he wins office and use the powers of the presidency to go after ordinary Americans. That’s an extreme and frankly unhinged position with no basis in reality. You don’t say things like that unless you’re hoping to provoke a strong reaction, and the reaction Democrats are hoping to provoke is violent resistance to a second Trump term.
After all, if you really thought that Trump would order the military and the Justice Department to round up you and your family, wouldn’t you do anything to stop him? Wouldn’t you take to the streets to save your country and thwart the rise of a fascist dictatorship? At least two would-be assassins have taken the Democrats’ anti-Trump rhetoric seriously. Harris is hoping that many more people will do so between now and Election Day, and respond by rejecting a second Trump term — in the streets, if they must.....SNIP
Kamala is a figurehead, just like Biden and Obama. Her puppet-masters are in control. They are smart. They are ruthless. Their objective is the destruction of the United States.
We need to be ready.
Good. They need a thumping.
Didn’t I just read that Biden just gave the military the right to shoot U.S. citizen?
They are arming up like crazy. But consider this, I have been shooting squirrel sized moving targets from 50 yards since I was 10. So have many patriots like me. Who has the edge? A country boy will survive.
This is why she wouldn’t appear at the black journalist convention alongside President Trump. Not the Al Smith dinner… sure sends in a stupid video. She refused the Fox debate. At the one debate she couldn’t avoid, she didn’t say a word about him almost getting his head blown off.
You can’t appear jointly or act civil to Hitler you know.
Make preparations for yourself and your family just as though Hurricane Helene were headed for you. I pray that threats of violence and civil unrest are a false alarm, but, just in case, stock up on supplies. NOTHING is beneath the Democrats and those who support them.
Time to make those purchases that will allow you to protect yourself and family,as well as , keeping America free.
Only if the check clears.
I’m betting it won’t.
If Deep State can’t stop Trump, the the people behind the coup will take their money and run.
Leaving us with three months of nobody at the rudder.
Those weeks until the inauguration are what really scare me spitless.
I keep expecting Antifa/BLM to rear their ugly heads some time late Election Day eve or early Election Day morning at numerous solid red precincts across the country in an effort to thwart in-person voting on Election Day.
UK’s Leftist Labour Party Jumping Into U.S. Election To Help Harris
Et tu, Britannia?
I heard she has already put the Jamaican, Indian and Canadian armies on alert.
For the past three months I have been gradually stocking up on non-perishable goods; keeping my car topped-up and not making social plans until 'the dust has settled'.
I pray every day for this country and for the safety of the "good" people.
So, what else is new....
I'll tell you this, Kamala Harris couldn't grab her own rear end with both hands. It's the money of Soros and all the other "One Worlders", including Obama and his crew that are driving all the hate and discontent in this nation.
Projection. Democrats project onto Republicans what they are doing.
The one who has the edge is almost always the aggressor, regardless of firepower or skill. The defender requires time to arm up after assessing a situation. That's the deciding factor.
Needless to say, we need to become the offense more.
As it has been said (and done) many times, the Democrats will accuse the Republicans of doing something that they, the Dems, are already employing. I hope somebody has pointed this out to Harris on as many occasions as possible.
The MSM only talks about Jan 6 and Trump never about the real treason promoters.
That is only true in a surprise attack. We see this coming and can dig in while relying on guerrilla tactics against a totally untrained aggressor. We have the advantage if we have the will to use it.
“…is to condition Democrats to react violently if Harris loses.“
Go ahead. What will be will be.
