Democrats Do Not Need to Be in Power. Otherwise, America is Finished.

We face a pandemic that has not been seen at this level in a century, causing all levels of government to react. Health departments have issued specific guidelines in an attempt to slow down the infection rate, but how much will it help? Only time will tell. However, you can count on one thing when there is an opportunity to gain more power: the Democratic Party will find a way to obtain more authority. After the last six to eight weeks, one thing is evident. We can never allow the Democratic Party to own Washington, D.C. ever again. Otherwise, the experiment known as America will no longer exist as intended.

Our Founding Fathers wanted something different. They came from a government that was centralized and had complete rule over the citizens. Freedom did not exist. Individuals were not allowed to worship as they wanted. One could not speak out against the Crown for fear of imprisonment. There were no protections from impromptu government searches and seizures. And forget about firearms. Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin understood that to be free as an individual, the government could not be significant and must be bound to restrictions. The COVID-19 outbreak has exposed the Democratic Party. They are a group of overreaching, power-hungry politicians. The idea that businesses are shut down because of their edicts sends a chill down their legs. The Democrats have been given the power to stop capitalism. The "evil" system that allows citizens to not rely on the government to have a house or food.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been the face of the Democrats overreach during the outbreak. The mainstream media has adored her as well as other Democratic Party members. She has exemplified what it means to be a leftist. Whitmer took her power and enacted a stay-at-home order that forbade Michiganders from going to other's homes, even if they are family members. She faced backlash with a protest where thousands of residents showed up at the state capital. In turn, she issued a public statement against the First Amendment actions, acting like a third-grade teacher whose students disobeyed her.

The idea that individual citizens can take care of themselves without the help of government assistance flies in the face of Democrats – they hate it. The Democratic Party relies on a permanent underclass.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many governors to shut down their states, causing people to lose their jobs, businesses closed their doors permanently, and millions of people filed for unemployment.

We see Democrats holding onto lockdowns as long as possible using the vehicle of fearmongering along with consistently changing models. Meanwhile, when a Republican mentions the possibility of opening up the economy, the left starts suggesting that the right cares more about money than lives. It is insanity.

If American's who are out of work decide to take the easy way out and live off of the government, you can say "goodbye" to America. The Democrats have become the party of entitlements. They devalue the idea of hard work and make it difficult for small businesses to become successful or even grow with burdensome regulations and high taxes.

The Democratic Party is not entirely at fault. Weak Republicans who allow this to happen are to blame as well. And let's not forget those on the right who smile to their constituents while making backroom deals with their colleagues on the left.

As long as center-right politicians "go along to get along," America is headed for an existence never intended by our founders. We have come to a point in this country when crossing the aisle is unacceptable. The reason? Republicans concede while Democrats get what they want.

When Republicans do not pushback, they give Democrats more power, and the left inches the goalposts further back. Look at the damage that has been done to our country when the left only holds one branch. Imagine the unconstitutional socialist moves made if Democrats held all three. It is terrifying for anyone who loves freedom and liberty.

Every four years, we hear, "November is the most important election ever for America." However, as the Democratic Party lurches further and further to the left, the saying becomes more and more accurate.

The COVID-19 outbreak has shown us that Democrats can never be in charge again. Otherwise, the American experiment is finished.

We need the House, Senate and White House.

The Dems are good at two things, getting out the vote and cheating.

We have to get out the vote.

And Western Civilization as we know it. No church, no family values, no nothing except the ruling class.

should read; ‘when a Republican mentions the possibility of opening up the economy, he gets trashed on national TV by a Republican president...’

that is not opinion; that is what actually happened...

Even a poor editor would have changed this title to:

"Democrats Must Not Get Into the WH. If They Do, American is Finished"

I love God with my heart and soul and I know that is not going to happen.

There will be no return to God or revival.

Christians gave away their patrimony.

They gave away their beliefs and culture.

There is no foundation left to build on.

When you look at the state of Democrat-run cities, and the vast over-reaching of Democrat governors, voting for any Democrat anywhere proves that the only quarantine should be for Democrats.

“We face a pandemic that has not been seen at this level in a century, causing all levels of government to react”
***************************

I beg to differ.

We are facing a level of government tyranny and control in the face of an illness that has at least a 98% recovery rate;

for the purpose of destroying Trump and ushering in devastating, progressive, NWO rule over us all.

Is it going to get to the point of people putting down pets because there is no food for them?

Farmers are already dumping product and slaughtering animals.

The supply chain is cracked. If you’re not able to buy necessities online will you and your family go hungry? If you even have money will there be things to purchase?

Are properties going to be abandoned as people give up and try to go elsewhere?

Yes I’m bleak this early morning.

All because too many willfully ignorant people traded morals and truth for the lues of abortion, equality, and illegals;

and too many of the rest of us did not fight hard enough in the name of maintaining peace and dignity.

“Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has been the face of the Democrats overreach during the outbreak.”

But yet, she just came out in a recent poll with w majority of support and greatly surpassed Trump. To the extent you can trust the poll. The two sides are beyond reconciliation.

I argue the criminal democrats already have enough power across all levels of government, fed, state, county, city, that the US is already finished. It will just take more time for the deed to be completed.

This title is wordy and nonsensical. Otherwise, it would be a great title.

Democrats shouldn't be in power. If they are, America is finished.

40+ states told everyone they can’t go outside and everyone obeyed. I’d say the experiment with freedom is pretty much done.
