The left wants to save democracy by destroying it
American Thinker ^ | 8 Nov, 2025 | Kevin Finn

Democrats built this inferno to immolate one man. Now, watching it surge back on them, they rage at not their hypocrisy, but their powerlessness.

When was the last time a prominent Democrat politician (other than John Fetterman) said anything remotely factual, or proposed any legislation to make America safer, stronger, more prosperous, or more united? All they have are lies, psychological projection, and logical fallacies. In the last case, they’re especially fond of proof by assertion — unfounded claims stated as if they were true.

Democrats have a new mantra: “We must save democracy from Trump.” This noble-sounding imperative has become a blank check, justifying every excess, every norm-shattering tactic, in a relentless war against one man. Peel back the veneer of moral urgency, and what emerges is not salvation, but sabotage — a calculated demolition of democratic guardrails, all in the name of vengeance. What began as partisan combat has metastasized into a vendetta that now threatens to consume its architects.

Consider the raw hypocrisy in electoral engineering. Democrats decry Republican gerrymandering as an assault on fair representation, yet they’ve carved their own states into grotesque jigsaw puzzles, erasing GOP voices with surgical precision. Massachusetts, where 36% voted for Trump; Connecticut (42%); Maine (46%); New Mexico (46%); New Hampshire (48%); Rhode Island (42%); and Hawaii (38%) boast zero Republican congressional seats. Nationally, Republicans are short 6–10 House seats relative to the popular vote — a disparity Democrats dismiss with a weary sigh: “We’ve already gerrymandered; don’t emulate us.” When slogans like “protect our democracy” echo endlessly from politicians and media, it’s not inspiration; it’s a cover-up for failure.

This erosion seeps into every arena. Democrat leaders now embrace outrage as strategy. Cory Booker erupts in congressional tirades about twice a month; Hakeem Jeffries brandishes a baseball bat; Jasmine Crockett

Protect Democracy rings hollow when one realizes that if our assertions of rigged elections and bogus censuses throw house representation out of balance.It doesn’t bother the left if it furthers the objective of a faction of their alliances so long as they get what they want.
If the majority of Americans want second amendment rights or rights to protect unborn, the left has no problem with circumventing these wishes with gaming the system to make it happen, democracy be damned.

Democrats are nothing more than the anti-Republican party. The only danger they ever talk about is Republicans. Whatever Republicans are for, they are against. Whatever Republicans are against, they are for. The only enemy they see is right here in the United States: conservatives who vote Republican.

The left does not want to save anything. The left craves an authoritarian, (communist), government. It appears that in the illogical, damaged mind of the left, they think authoritarians will be true leftist, thereby making the left happy and punishing the right.

They’re only partially correct.

And by killing everyone who disagrees with them. Don’t forget that part.

Probably correct. In 1913, the "Progressives" changed the Constitution, and changed the Senate into just another House (so that States could no longer protect their power from an overbearing FedGov). Now they'll change the House to have state-wide elections only, just like the Senate (so that no minority party will ever win a single seat in any state, ever again).

“The left wants to save democracy by destroying it” ... and replace it with a Democracy so the East Coast and West Coast Blue States rule the roost.

That’s what “Build Back Better” means, destroy society and replace it with the New Order.

The point is to give power cities absolute power, something Sen. Dirksen warned would be a hazard.

The old A G Janet Reno ploy re the Branch Davidian children in Waco TX: she actually said this in her testimony to Congress; “we had to kill the children in order to save them”. It doesn’t get any more evil than that.

The Democrats have by obsessing over Trump allowed their party to be taken over by leftist radicals and now Marxists, who are bent on destroying America in favor of a single party Marxist socialist state. They could easily push the country into a civil war.
