Will The Left Respect Democracy If Trump Wins?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by Thaddeus McCotter via AmericanGreatness.com,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The left and its mocking bird media are fond of asking whether the GOP and MAGA movement will \u201caccept the results of the election.\u201d <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Their question\u2019s assumptions are two-fold: <\/em><\/p>\n

one, there will be no voter \u201cirregularities\u201d in the election; <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

and, two, the Democrat candidate will win the presidency.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Their first assumption would constitute a historical first.<\/strong> America has a long history of such electoral irregularities by both parties. In addition to the Jim Crow civil rights violations against African-Americans starting during Reconstruction, various \u201cbosses\u201d from both parties orchestrated patronage systems designed to facilitate electoral wins by any means fair or foul to keep the graft gravy train running: phantom voters, ballot box stuffing, multiple voting by individual voters in the same election, etc.<\/p>\n

In the 18th\u00a0Century, New York was a hotbed of \u201cbossism.\u201d One of the earliest and most successful was former Whig and later GOP boss, Senator Thurlow Weed. Later, and ironically, the chief executive who signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was a product of New York Senator and state GOP boss Roscoe Conkling\u2019s machine, namely President Chester A. Arthur, who was known as \u201cthe Gentleman Boss.\u201d Meanwhile, in New York City, William M. \u201cBoss\u201d Tweed helmed the Democrats\u2019 legendary Tammany Hall.<\/p>\n

Yet, while the above instances were predicated on greed, today ideology and fear can spark the baser instincts of many politically driven individuals to \u201cwin\u201d elections by any means necessary<\/strong>. Thus, in our politically divisive time, wherein many on both sides of the aisle believe the defeat of their party will result in the death of democracy and\/or the republic, it is na\u00efve to believe not one solitary individual, be they left or right, would endeavor to engage in voter irregularities to win.<\/p>\n

For example, in a nation of more than 330 million citizens and millions more individuals who are in the nation illegally, it would be presumptuous to assume no individual would avail themselves of the opportunity to have non-citizens and\/or \u201cundocumented arrivals\u201d illegally cast a vote, especially since many Democrats support non-citizens voting in American elections at the local, state, and national level. Further, in this and other instances, the former COVID-19 \u201cemergency\u201d voting procedures that have now been formalized in several states engender the temptation to engage in and hinder the ability to detect such voting \u201cirregularities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, it is inane to ask anyone if they accept as a fact a hypothetical. How can anyone state they will accept the rectitude and the outcome of an election that has not happened yet? Granted, in demanding Republicans and MAGA supporters concede this determination in advance, the left is attempting to promote its \u201cinsurrectionist\u201d narrative. But it is also endeavoring to insulate itself should any of its supporters become, shall we say, overzealous in their harvesting of ballots. In doing so, they are implying that they, too, have already conceded the rectitude and the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n

Yet, the left has most certainly\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0conceded this point.<\/p>\n

This brings us to the left and their mocking bird media\u2019s second assumption: the Democrat candidate\u2014whoever it may be\u2014will win the presidency; and only the GOP and MAGA election-deniers would refuse to concede the legitimacy of this win. <\/strong>This assumption has lately been shaken by Mr. Biden\u2019s debate debacle. Nevertheless, Democrats have not been required to affirm their preemptive allegiance to the election\u2019s conduct and outcome. Why?<\/p>\n

Well, if recent history is any guide\u2014and it is\u2014the left is reserving its rights to dispute any 2024 election procedure, real or imagined, and the election of Mr. Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider:<\/p>\n

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democrats in the Obama administration colluded with the Clinton campaign\u2019s partisans to launch the Russiagate lie that Mr. Trump was a pawn of Vladimir Putin. After Mr. Trump won the election, the Russiagate lie was used to falsely discredit his election and subvert his presidency through baseless investigations by a politically weaponized federal bureaucracy. All the while, after they took time off for grief counseling, Democrats took to the streets and declared they were the \u201cResistance\u201d to the duly elected President Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n

To cite but the most notorious examples, during the 2020 presidential campaign, even as the BLM \u201cmostly peaceful\u201d riots roiled the nation\u2019s streets with the approval of the left\u2019s health care \u201cexperts,\u201d who deemed protests more important than stopping the spread of the pandemic, and while leftists and Antifa razed statues with impunity and tacit approval of like-minded officials, Democrats, their mocking bird media, and Big Tech censored the truth about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop and, instead, spread the deceit that it had all the \u201challmarks of Russian disinformation\u201d to discredit its revelations and facilitate Mr. Biden\u2019s presidency.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then, again to cite but a few egregious examples, Mr. Biden\u2019s administration implemented their political indoctrination of their DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity) secular religion within the federal government and military and have now engaged in and\/or facilitated the \u201clawfare\u201d persecution of political opponents and dissenters, including Mr. Trump, thereby establishing the despicable precedent that some Americans are \u201cbelow the law\u201d and its protections due to their political and\/or religious beliefs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Heading into the 2024 election, even as leftists are engaged in pro-Hamas protests that spew virulently anti-Semitic tropes and veiled threats of violence, having sparse policy achievements to cite, the Democrats are further fueling domestic division and discord with their paranoia-addled appeals to their base, such as the \u201closs of their rights,\u201d and, recently, the risible claim a recent Supreme Court decision will allow a re-elected President Trump to order \u201cdeath squads\u201d to eliminate his opponents with impunity.<\/em><\/p>\n

In sum, Democrats, who already believe anything they do to defeat Mr. Trump is justified, are afraid democracy will destroy \u201cour democracy\u201d (i.e., \u201ctheir party\u201d). In consequence, it is both valid and imperative to ask whether the left will respect democracy if Mr. Trump wins. And, if they don\u2019t, what next?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
