What to Expect if Democrats Win the Midterms
American Thinker ^ | August 21, 2018 | Robert Oscar Lopez

Posted on 08/21/2018 4:13:16 AM PDT by fwdude

We may fantasize that conservatives constitute a massive invincible army against the left. None of this will help us if nobody is willing to show up for the fight. The midterm elections this fall could easily hand the Democrats a commanding lead in both the Senate and the House. We have no real reason to expect that conservatives will gather in large numbers to monitor the voting process for fraud. The fall surprises full of slander, innuendo, and social media mobbing will follow the pattern we saw in the Roy Moore election, with National Review writers like David French slamming Republican candidates and commentators like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro playing it safe by virtue-signaling if ominous accusations, no matter how unproven or unlikely, gain traction with the general public.

I hope you are right.

One of the enduring influential legacies that a president can leave to offset the vagaries of congressional shifts and administrations are the courts. Unfortunate, but that is the way it is these days. Courts were NEVER intended to wield the power they claim today, but moving the courts back closer to their original compartmentalized power would do wonders for this country.

Absent the total destruction of leftists and their social utopian concepts, America is doomed

Not to be provocative, but understand that this may entail the total destruction of close relatives and former friends who have veered into that mindset. Do we have the intestinal fortitude?

Leftists attack Old Testament law which seemed extremely severe regarding the ultimate condemnation of willful violators (stoning, banishing, etc.) But there was wisdom in this. It was the painful excising of a cancerous tumor from a body that had to remain viable.

In these days, the most important election of our lifetime is always the next one.

A war, external or domestic is the likely way they will be removed

Free Traitors™ ARE the domestic threat. A de -industrialized USA is ripe for the picking. Thanks GLOBULLISTS!

...which they are taking away piece by piece because we are "too busy" to "do politics."

You're not wrong, but I don't know how many of us could really afford to give-up our entire lives and make politics a 24-hour obsession to keep pace with them.

For example, the operation they sprung here in Pennsylvania where they ambushed us in an off-year election to place a bunch of Libs on our State Supreme Court, who promptly voted to order a redistricting which may cost up to 5 GOP seats. Somebody stayed awake all night, night after night, for weeks designing THAT gadget play.

I agree that a Democrat takeover will mean an immediate Trump impeachment.

I do not. They could only get away with that if they were successful in tanking his approval numbers, as they did to Nixon. Well more than half the country solidly supports Trump, and they know it. Moving to impeach would trigger CW 2.0, which they are not prepared to win.

Yup. I don't blame anyone on our side for not getting involved--I can't since I am also too busy working two jobs.

I'm just pointing out facts and the method they are using to beat us at this "game."

No, folks like you are an anachronism and are so amall a minority you have no voice.

To you, the President is a free traitor. He is pursuing trade on a global scale and is having success.

You always confuse international trade with international government.

The President does not

Nice spin but it isn't true traitor boy. Trump knows there will never be a tariff free world, or unicorns farting skittles, and you Free Traitors™ have been screwing us over for decades. So FOAD.

We FINALLY have a President willing to slap on tariffs which really bothers you traitorous Koch Bros. Bushie NWO butt boys

The end result of the Trump gambit will be less tariffs than presently exist....... globally

Remember, your wet dream of an across the board American tariff has already crashed and burned.

The EU manufacturers have indicated that thier tariffs should be eliminated.

China has a delegation here now.

You seem to be losing on a broad front

We have one now. It is around 2.5%. That needs to increase a lot.

If you think the Chi Coms are going to lower their tariff on our exports you can think again.

If left up to you, all US citizens would be replaced by third worlders and the USA would be an agrarian/info society, incapable of defending itself.

The USA is de industrializing and YOU and your gloBULList ilk are to blame.

No, folks like you are an anachronism and are so small a minority you have no voice.

What would economists in the EU, China, EVERYWHERE but the USA, have to say to you about that? When EVERY other country practices mercantilism/protectionism how can you possible call me an anachronism? Seems the rest of the world DOES NOT AGREE!

Not only are you a globalist, which is bad enough, but an economic idiot too.

You overlook the emerging and ascending force..... the Chicaps.

I remind you that the largest single Initial Public Offering in history was made by Chicaps on the New York Stock Exchange. that was Alibaba. You can on Alibaba and buy most anything from manufacturers there.

The other force emerging is the youth of China. Those that can scrape up the money comr to America to be educated. They are respected and admired by their peers looking tho them for leadership.

China is of course still communist but it ain’t yer grandaddy’s communists.

I make observations and present findings

Hi.

I didn’t see gun control or confiscation on your list.

Sorry if I missed it.

That will get things rolling pretty quick.

What you say is largely true, but there are many hundreds of Chinese citizens in this country with intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarding this country with envious eyes, and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

See: Democrats complete their sweep in 2020; begin conversion nationwide to a Socialist form of Government modeled on the old Soviet Union.

means gun control, State as the religion, all the things modern Dems dream of.
