DNC Chair: ‘May Be Nearing’ Moment Where ‘Elections Don’t Matter’ and ‘Resistance Looks Completely Different’
Brietbart ^ | 4-24-2025 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 10/24/2025 6:23:44 AM PDT by Pete Dovgan

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” DNC Chair Ken Martin stated that the Democratic Party’s job right now is to win elections, and if “we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different” “and we may be nearing” that moment, but for now, their job is winning elections.

Martin said, “[L]et me say to you, what is the role of the Democratic Party in this moment? Our job is to win, to win elections. That is our role. That is our responsibility, and where I have to put my attention and focus, Jason, is on those pieces.”

He added, “If we reach that break the glass moment when all of our democratic institutions have failed us, right? And we are truly in a dictatorship and an authoritarian regime here has completely shredded the Constitution, then party doesn’t matter, and then elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different. But until we reach that moment, and we may be nearing it, Jason, don’t get me wrong, the role of the Democratic Party is singular, to win elections, to recruit candidates in every election up and down the ballot throughout the country, to build power back so we can actually stop this guy.”

Translation: To “protect our democracy”, we need to eliminate elections.

“Basically saying that if they can’t win elections that the resistance will become civil war.”

Or at a level a bit deeper, what he’s really saying is that it looks like the degree to which they’d have to cheat in the future is so great that they think they probably wouldn’t be able to get away with it.

That is exactly what he is saying.

The Democrats have cheated and put their thumbs on the scale for so long that they are absolutely shell-shocked in their realization of how unpopular they really are. Suddenly, they have to compete in the marketplace of ideas without their decades of tilting the playing field to their advantage and they cannot comprehend their own true political nakedness.

A nation divided cannot stand............it will be all one or all the other.

Folks, there is going to be a fight, get used to the idea and think about what your role in it is going to be.

LINK: Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Is Gearing Up Against Trump’s Counterrevolution

This video by Dr. Victor Davis Hanson is, in my opinion, prescient. This was created back in April 2025, and he is addressing the Trump Counterrevolution where the Leftist "ideas" they have been promulgating and implementing for the last sixty years are starting to become 'unimplemented'. At the 6:42 mark (Click HERE to go directly to this passage) He states:

“...We’re going to see the counterrevolution I think, succeed, with one caveat: we are going to see, in the next year, a frenzy, a frantic, almost out-of-mind reaction from the Left because they know that if this counterrevolution succeeds, it’ll be very difficult for them to push down and unpopular agenda down the throat of the American people. So brace yourself. We’re looking at the resistance coming up to the counterrevolution and it’s going to be fierce and unhinged..."

Ahhh, what’s the point of elections if they can’t cheat.

So, you basically have NO PLATFORM to run on that Everyday Schmucks can agree with?

They’re doomed. Now, we need to primary every feckless, Quisling RINO in the mix, too - and get this ship 100% righted and sailing smoothly again! MAGA!

Sounds like that famous “dog whistle” the bolsheviks go on about. Signaling their insane constituents.

That is the way I read it too. Disgusting.

Trump is Successfully and legally cleaning up the damage left behind by the democrat party is so unsettling, that they need to convince themselves that Trump is an authoritarian dictator to justify their illegal behavior,

Finally , there is true and LEGAL push back to the death spiral this nation was in brought on by the Democrat party, Rhinos, and other bad actors.

They slowed him down significantly during his first term. But, now he has to make up for wasted time and only 3 years to do so.

I just find it ridiculous that they call him an authoritarian when in reality they endorse authoritarianism- but, only when they are in power,

Lord only knows what is up their sleeves next to try and slow this admin down, but they are desperate.

They lost a democratic election, and so now are saying “Democracy doesn’t matter”.

**The aftermath of the next election is going to be interesting.**

Should we expand on our majority it will be big. Trump should rub it in by calling out BJ and the Kenyan on how they used their gift-of-gab to give way to their lies. This is how-state of the union:

“Clinton and Obama got by because they were ‘cool’. They used it to excite women and young voters. Doesn’t work now and let me tell you something: I’M COOL!”

Republicans in the chamber will stand up and america will laugh big-time.

“A while back some Southern States tried this.”

Not sure if you mean 1860, or if your reference is 1776 when the original 13 slave states insisted on “consent of the governed.”

Regardless, today is more of a communist take-over than either 1776 or 1860.

If they are watching MSNBC and/or engage in leftist echo chambers, they may still blame Trump. If the media actually reported the news accurately, the Democrat party would never will another election.
