Here's the Dems' Latest Scare Tactic for the Upcoming Midterms

That’s the warning from Colorado’s top election official. In an interview with The Guardian published Sunday, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold argued that loyalists to former President Donald Trump could destroy American Democracy — should they win office this fall.

“What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people,” Griswold said.

Should Democrats not prevail in the upcoming midterms, “the country could lose the right to vote in less than three months,” she said.

[…]

“We are trying to save democracy,” Griswold said.

Put down the crack pipe, lady. The Democrats are the ones raiding the homes of former presidents to serve as warnings not to run for elected office. That’s what the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation did to Donald Trump, sacking Mar-a-Lago earlier this month under the suspicions that nuclear secrets and other classified documents were at the residence. The DOJ strung together a bunch of legal gobbledygook to provide probable cause for a search warrant that was also laughably conceived. We got an illegal raid, follow-up stories about lawyer email tag over the documents in question, and then a sea of black regarding the affidavit that outlined no criminal intent concerning the activities of Mr. Trump. It was a hit job. And for all the ‘save democracy’ platitudes here from the Left, using federal agents as a proto-political police force to chill the opposition is rather noxious to a healthy representative republic, is it not?

Attention semi-fascitsts/MAGAites. I believe this will be a repeated theme on Thursday night when the "get off my lawn!" guy does his prime time screed pissing on half or more of U.S. citizens. Pretty sure I'm having some ingrown toenails removed without pain killers Thursday evening.

And get away with it! Why because our damn miserable spineless POS minority leaders and the rest are too damn cowardly to speak up against this crap! Our side should’ve been defending democracy in America first and blame the rats for all that aches America but instead the bastards are nowhere to be found! That fatso RNC chairwoman McDaniel is a loser and a POS! She must …she must be replaced for this party to survive!

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has a poor understanding of the Constitution. Pure Democracy is mob rule. Many patriots are quite happy with our current representative republic. Communist Democrats want mob rule.

Griswold wants to put Americans last, as the Democrats have shown us with runaway inflation, a southern invasion of illegals, many with COVID, armed IRS agents, rewarding deadbeats, energy dependence, a watered down military, and destruction of small businesses with regulations and taxes.

Does Griswold think that mob rule will fix those problems?

The Rats have no honor, no shame, no decency and no concern for the well-being of the citizens and our country. Their arrogance and magnitude of their lies is breathtaking.

As if we don’t know what we will get from him...

Oil independence, border security, and less government.

How is any of that ‘an end to democracy’?

I like reading Mychal Massie’s stuff because it likely infuriates libs because they might have to look up some of his verbiage.

That's not new, it's their unified talking point and theme of Biden's upcoming primetime election ad the networks are carrying.

This is projection of scared Democrats who have a doddering, demented fool of a President. I suspect that the Democratic Party Leaders will try to prevent Biden from getting the nomination. He is a gaffomatic who cannot handle a teleprompter. My prayer is that we get a principled Republican candidate that can explain the difference to the voters.
