In 2022, the Democrats Biggest Enemy is Voter Revulsion
American Thinker.com ^ | November 4, 2021 | J. Robert Smith

Democrats haven’t grasped this yet, but it’s too late for them. The die is cast. An electoral bloodbath awaits next year, akin to or surpassing what happened to their party in 2010.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s and the Squad’s anti-American leftist politics drive their party, and that’s beginning to register at a gut-level with voters. What voters – critically, that big, pivotal segment known as independents – now feel is revulsion for Democrats in not just one way but many. The intensity of that revulsion is bound to grow in the coming months.

How do we know that? In the first 10 months of the Biden presidency, we went from a functioning country recovering from needless Covid lockdowns to a nation suddenly skidding downhill. Do we believe that we haven’t seen the worst of Biden’s inept governance and congressional Democrat incompetence, extremism, and corruption? 2021 will only prove a prelude.

Democrats are ensnared in hubris, and have boxed themselves into corners. Ideological corners. Policy corners. Governance corners. Interest group corners. Cultural corners. Integrity and corruption corners. An unabated lust for power dominates their appetites.

Starting on January 20 – shortly after Biden was sworn in and began robotically signing executive orders – voters witnessed failure after failure, with energy costs and inflation climbing; supply chains bogging down; an evaporating southern border and floods of illegals; needless defeat and retreat in Afghanistan; a draconian vax mandate; urban homicides and crime exploding; cancel culture employed as a threat and cudgel; boondoggle spending and proposals by a Democrat Congress; parents branded “domestic terrorists” by the U.S. attorney general; and, as Thomas Lifson pointed out, the spreading realization that Democrats hid Biden in his Delaware basement in 2020 because he really is decrepit and daft.

Voting integrity and state-level election reform should be major issues. Let’s build a transparent, honest system. No need to insist that any past elections were crooked, or anyone was the “real” winner. That sort of insistence will alienate some people. Just push for reforms that ensure honest results. Who could oppose that? This should be a GOP issue, because you know the Democrats won’t want to get on board. People notice stuff like that.

We had a good system until the dumblecrats ruined it and the pubbies let them do it along with the wink wink nudge nudge judiciary.

We can always go back to that. Eliminate mail in voting. Eliminate same day registration and ballot harvesting. Take a hard look at voting machines. Seems to me, digital ain’t the way to go.

Voting is a civic right AND a responsibility. Get to a polling place to vote.

We can start there.

Yup. It’s not hard.

I agree that digital is bad. I want paper ballots that can be cleanly audited.

However, where I do want to see a digital solution is Chain of Custody. We ought to be able to record the location and the “inputs” to any ballot box. If, at the end of election day, there are 8752 ballots in the box, I would like to see a video of 8752 ballots being placed into the box. No more. No less.

And if there is a “glitch” — perhaps the video failed between 1:00 and 1:05 PM — if all I can say is that there are 35,000 ballots in the box and I’m not sure how they got in there, then that box should be discarded. No votes in that box should be counted. At all. Call it the “Epstein Rule”: if your video failed, then funny business happened.

I strongly disagree.

The Democrats will have comprehensive early voting schemes in place for every state that is even slightly in danger.

The GOP may be able to win back Congressional majorities in 2022, but the margin of victory will be tiny, and RINOs and Blue Dog Democrats will eventually rule the agenda.

How do we know that? In the first 10 months of the Biden presidency, AFTER RECEIVING 81 MILLION VOTES, (HEHE)we went from a functioning country recovering from needless Covid lockdowns to a nation suddenly skidding downhill. Do we believe that we haven’t seen the worst of Biden’s inept governance and congressional Democrat incompetence, extremism, and corruption? 2021 will only prove a prelude.

Gives it more perspective if journalists would be sure to mention this so called fact in every article.

AOC and her Squad won’t learn. They will just double down. To them, rejection of their policies only indicates they were not radical enough.

Excellent post—correctly identified the problem and proposed a solid solution.

Anything less than that is handing the Democratic Party stolen victories.

Right?!?

Our Marxist Democrats are creating, printing, and storing illegal 2022 ballots NOW!

They aren’t going to wait and let something as important as “voting” be decided by the voters!

Its not failure after failure. Its a deliberate destruction of our economic system and bleeding the wealth of the middle class so they can usher in the great reset and communism.
