In this history of this country since the Civil War, has there ever been another period when one political side has demonized the other side as an existential threat to the nation like the Dems and their RINO allies are trying to do to Trump supporters right now? I can’t think of any. It’s truly unprecedented. If Trump were to be re-elected in 2024, they’ve pretty much built such an event to qualify as Fort Sumter II.
Forget Trump, Dems will NEVER cedé control of the branches again to anyone. In their minds they learned that lesson the hard way in 2016.
I recently have been reading ‘Team of Rivals’ by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It’s about the men Lincoln chose to be in his Cabinet. In it she discusses the changing attitude about slavery in the years before the outbreak of the Civil War.
Except for some extreme abolitionists, like now, the hatred was from the democrat slave owners towards Republicans not the other way round. Republicans wanted to limit the growth of slavery into the territories, they knew they had no Constitutional way of eliminating it where it legally existed.
Just as Lincoln was not even on the ballot in the slave states in 1860, the dems (in the name of ‘our democracy’ are trying to keep Trump off of the ballot in 2024. California even toyed with the idea of keeping him off its ballot in 2020. If Trump wins in 2024 I expect the deep state/democrats will do everything in their power to thwart his plans. I expect indictments from places like NY and DC. And, of course, there will be violent protests that go unpunished in cities and states with prosecutors sympathetic to the protestors.
If they were going to allow us to elect Trump again, he would still be President.
