In a recent article, the brilliant commentator Victor David Hanson asks, "What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy's future from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams, and other elite intellectuals and media personalities?" His answer to this question is "that the left expects to lose power over the next two years[.]"
Perhaps — but on the other hand, maybe the leftists' "pessimistic appraisals" are more of a verbal ploy to suggest they are concerned about democracy when in actuality they are participating in an attempt to enact a coup against democracy, against our beloved republic. Declining poll numbers will affect only those old-fashioned Democrats who still believe in the relevance of the vote.
Today, sadly and horrendously, we seem to be on a different trajectory. Through a number of pressure points, the left is trying to overwhelm and subvert constitutional checks and balances, basic ideas of fairness, historical understandings of things like voter rights and equality of opportunity (which is not and should never be equality of outcomes), law and order, the public weal in protecting against theft and bodily harm, and responsible conduct as the sign of a good citizen. Now massive mail-in schemes, elimination of voter ID, federal control of even local elections, extended periods of time for voting, and ballot-harvesting are high on the list of Democommie priorities. Their priorities are clearly not about fairness, but about corrupt manipulation of our nation's voting priorities as a free society.

Why not have both?
VP Harris recently said that Democracy is a threat to our government.
Yes, like the meaning of the word “is,” we have to know the meaning of “coup.” Build Back Better is intended to wreck the US economy with Weimar- or Venezuela-like inflation so that the communists can do away with the Constitution, or at least all respect for it.
That may not exactly be a coup, but it accomplishes the same thing for the same leftist purpose.
This is the continuing globalist elite attack on our Republic to destroy our wealth, upward mobility within society to enslave us all so that everyone is poor and subject to the whims of government. Unfortunately, the Republican party is complicit as they too push to dilute our voices with mass immigration (illegal/legal) with those they know they can control to facilitate the downward spiral of this nation’s citizens.
The globalists won’t be content until this republic and our western way of life is completely destroyed and everyone is a subject to the New World Order.
Umm… they’ve HAD their coup…
The whole “build back better” thing is about reinforcing their stronghold over the entire system, so that “we, the people” will NEVER have one ounce of control ever again.
THAT is what they mean by BBB..
To Build Back Better, they have to destroy first.
