Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-New York) appeared on CNN Tuesday and admitted that the Democrats’ federal election bill is all about Democrats staying in power.

That’s it.

That’s the post.

Democrat Jamaal Bowman admits S.1 legislation is a power grab.

Click to play. It’s what he says.

The Democrats are acting like a questionable win at the presidential level in the midst of a historic pandemic, losing seats in the House, narrowly capturing the Senate in questionable special elections, and losing big at the state level, all constitute a mandate for them to obtain total power forever and to push a hard-left agenda that the American people don’t support.

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Either they seize total power or face the consequences of stealing a landslide election. I am surprised we have the temporary reprieve of two flaky Senators maintaining the Filibuster. It must be driving the RATs nuts to be so close to canceling the last vestige of American Freedom after they thought they had it.

That's the whole idea of democratic elections in a constitutional representative republic.

Democrats only believe in democratic elections when they win them.

They are afraid of the repercussions, thus the D.C. fence.

The fact checkers say it didn’t happen, but the rumor has been that an email was sent from Hillary Clinton to Donna Brazile Oct.17th, 2016 stating: "If that f-----’ bastard wins, we’re all going to hang from nooses! You better fix this s---!"

So far, the Democrats have been quite successful and avoiding the consequences for their crimes. In 2016 and 2020. And earlier, of course.

a power grab.

Nietzschian craving for power and control causes irrationality, and irrationality leads to disaster

This is true. Vote Fraud , however, is personal to everyone who voted. Most of their other crimes happened to somebody else so it was someone else's problem. Vote Fraud kills any claim they have to power.
