The Democrats Need COVID to Stay in Power: The advent of the COVID pandemic has been a political windfall for the Democrats beyond any possible measure.

There are specific issues that are key to the very existence of the Democrat Party and most liberal/progressive advocacy groups.

The Democrat Party trades in multicategory victimhood and creating taxpayer-funded Government programs in order to “cure” the problems they’ve identified and hyped for each group of victims. Often, these so-called “problems” don’t actually exist -- they’ve just been fabricated by the Democrats and trumpeted by the eagerly complicit liberal media -- but absent these so-called problems and cures, the Democrat Party would have no rationale for existing.

Every special-interest and so-called minority group has its Democratically sponsored taxpayer programs.

These are the main ones, but there are other groups as well. The relevant, instructive factor is this: The Democrat Party exists primarily to separate the American population into specific subgroups; identify (or create out of thin air) a life-altering, crushing problem faced by the group in question; create a taxpayer-funded Government program that addresses and fixes the problem -- even if the so-called problem is imaginary or none of the government’s business -- for the explicit purpose of buying that group’s voting loyalty.

This brings us to COVID. The advent of the COVID pandemic has been a political windfall for the Democrats beyond any possible measure. Unlike traditional Democrat-created “problems” that only targeted a small slice of the population, COVID gave the Democrats the opportunity to exploit the entire country at once. It has provided them with a perfect excuse to impose draconian governmental authority over virtually every aspect of the American economy and society in a way that no traditional legislation ever could. Using COVID as justification, the Democrats have implemented government control over business, transportation, and education to such a frighteningly micro degree

“Their reaction to Covid will be their downfall..........”

I disagree. I remember in the fall of 2020, before the election, listening to call in shows while I drove around, both local and national. What struck me was the number of calls from people who were scared to death, and blaming the Trump admin for everything. That was when I came to realize the November election was in serious doubt.

Those people, the ones who are scared to death, welcome authoritarian control promising them safety.

And not a state legislature has banned, prohibited, made illegal, gotten rid of, nor discarded...Mail In Voting, Drop Boxes, Ballot Harvesting.

Red Badger :" Their reaction to Covid will be their downfall.......... "

As well as Biden's slip of the tongue by announcing his support for "The new World Order".
Klaus Schwaub and the WEF (World Economic Forum) are giddy with the "elites" taking over the world, one government at a time.
I don't recall voting for such a takeover.. ?

“They are in the minority now.”

I live in the blue part of Ohio and have a number of Dem family members. My perception is colored by this.

I hope you’re right.

The Chinese labs are feverishly working on a human-transmissible bird flu for the mid-terms and an Ebola type illness for ‘24. They must ensure the use of the highly successful mail-in cheat!

In any rational reality it would be their downfall, but even here tough talking armchair generals who are not afraid of starting WWIII or sending other people’s kids to get slaughtered, all to protect a corrupt regime... are terrified of getting the sniffles.

“Blacks, Hispanics, including illegal immigrants, Women, LGBTQ, Teachers and other unions, Environmentalists/Warmists”

The article forgot one:

Existing and future planned welfare recipients. A much more trapping category.

Does anyone NOT get the fact, that 2016 election was stolen mainly because of Covid?

FL has severely limited drop boxes, and banned harvesting, period. Absentee restricted, not sure of the restrictions.

I’d love to see mail in banned, too.

* Will the American electorate let themselves have their voting rights stripped away?

Yes. This is obvious given how many willingly, eagerly, allowed numerous other rights to be stripped away for the last two years.

* Will Republicans once again let the Democrats use them as punching bags as the Democrats run roughshod over the voting process?

Hell YES!!! Brainless, gutless, useless, and corrupt - they will continue to let themselves be used, as long as they keep getting their share of the government cheese.

Of course...the likely colluded with the CCP and planned the original release date. If it can be proven, there is a whole bunch of em that should be publicly hanged for it.

I still see people, mostly older women, wearing masks while playing golf. I guess they are waiting for the cv-19 bugs to stampede down the fairway when they are not looking.
