"The Left projects itself onto Trump, and understandably finds itself all
too terrifying"

"It is “Trump Will Destroy Democracy” season again. And predictably the Left has gone hysterical, after experiencing a trifecta of frightening
2024 news.
One, current polls in the primaries and in a general election for now
show that Trump would win.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s popularity dives below 40 percent. His policies on the economy, abroad, at the border, concerning crime, and about energy
poll even more feebly. Never has an American president utterly and deliberately destroyed immigration law for the sole purpose of inviting
in millions of illegal aliens, to establish political constituencies supportive of agendas that otherwise have scant public support.
Two, unequivocal evidence is mounting that the Bidens are one of the most corrupt political families in American presidential history. Hunter, the Leona Helmsley of our times, is now indicted for massive tax evasion,
despite his earlier, government-aided efforts of running out the statute
of limitations on the full array of his crimes.
When asked about his grifting, Biden angrily denies the undeniable. He
can only become animated these days, when asked to square his denials
about knowing what Hunter was up to with a multitude of facts and data to
the contrary. And so in exasperation he shouts, “Lies!,” “Lies!,” and “Lies!”
There is now conclusive proof that Biden himself lied repeatedly when he swore that he knew nothing about his wayward son Hunter’s grifting business. He used several aliases to communicate directly with his son’s grifting and quid pro quo partners.
Canceled checks show the president was paid substantial sums by family members after they received money from foreign governments—for nothing other than being related to the future president. The pay-offs were
hidden by “loan repayment” lies; no one expects ever to find any such evidence that there were formal loan documents or agreements between
Biden and his family.
Former Hunter Biden associates, explicit messaging on his laptop, IRS whistleblowers, and bank records all explain why an opulent Joe Biden
enjoyed a lifestyle impossible on either a senator’s or Vice President’s salary. While Biden toured the country sermonizing that the rich must
“pay their fair share,” it is increasingly likely that he had received huge amounts from foreign governments eager to purchase him as an influencer—and never paid taxes on such occult income.
Three, Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and feebleness have reached a point where he is one fall, one bad cold, or one long brain-freeze away from incapacity. He clearly is not running the country. How could he be, when
he cannot finish a sentence without mangling the syntax, slurring the vocabulary, and confusing his listeners?
So Biden’s blank stares lengthen. His disorientation and uncertainty
where to enter and exit occur hourly. And his bizarre, repulsive fixation with young girls, and his desire to call them out, hug them, breathe on
their hair, or nuzzle their necks become all the more embarrassing. Had a U.S. senator engaged in such reprehensible behavior he would long ago
have been censored.
Add all this news up that Biden is fading, Trump apparently is outpolling him, and suddenly the Left has rebooted the tired “Trump will destroy democracy” boilerplate.
Almost nightly now TV anchors warn of a dictatorship. Columnists predict
the “end of democracy.” Essayists vie to see who can become the most absurd in predicting Trump’s planned takeover America.
There are several considerations, however, about these bankrupt and discredited Nostradamuses that the American people should note—aside from the fact the “democracy will die” mob is the same herd that assured us of Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, and the integrity of the Biden family.
First, ex-president Trump is now a known quantity. A comparison of his
four years with the first three years of Biden’s tenure is instructive.
Biden’s border is nonexistent–and by design.
Eight-million illegal aliens—unaudited, from all over the world, the vast majority without legality, diversity, English, or skill sets—have swarmed the country to the extent that even swamped leftwing blue-state governors
and mayors are opposed to the Biden nihilism.
Biden stopped catch-and-release, and phony refugee statuses, and
pressured Mexico to patrol their side of the border. He destroyed
immigration law as we knew it.
Biden’s flight from Afghanistan was the greatest foreign policy
humiliation in modern American history. It destroyed U.S. deterrence and greenlighted Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, Hamas to craft an
intricate plan of slaughtering Israeli civilians, Iran to arm to the
teeth its terrorist surrogates, and China to send a spy balloon over the
U.S. and serially to threaten Taiwan. The common denominator abroad was a correct appraisal that Biden’s controllers would talk tough, but always equivocate.
There was zero inflation before Biden; 30-year mortgages were less than 2 percent. Now prices for staples like gas, food, power, health care and housing have spiked well over 30 percent since Biden took office.
Mortgages are hitting 7 percent and the housing market is comatose. Real wages have eroded.
It seems hard to accuse Trump of being a dangerous demagogue when his
four years saw effective government action on the economy, foreign
policy, energy, and crime.
Afterall, was the Trump Middle-East Policy (e.g., branding Houthis as terrorists, the Abraham Accords, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, a non- negotiable Israeli Golan Heights, cutting off aid to Hamas, junking the
Iran deal, slapping sanctions on Iranian oil, eliminating Soleimani,
etc.) or Biden’s antithesis (sending money to Hamas, lifting sanctions on Iran, begging to reenter the Iran Deal, freeing the Houthis from their terrorist classification, cutting back on oil production, maligning/then courting Saudi Arabia, distancing from Israel, etc.) the more beneficial
to the U.S. and the Middle East at large?
Two, who exactly has weaponized the government in dictatorial fashion?
Who by fiat pandered illegally to cancel student loans before a midterm,
or suddenly drained the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices before an election?
What do former FBI directors, former “intelligence authorities.” and the former Directors of National Intelligence and the CIA all have in common? They lied, often under oath, and always in service of weaponizing the government for political agendas.
Who hired a foreign national Christopher Steele to concoct a silly file
of lies to destroy a political rival? Why did the FBI sequester the
Hunter laptop for a year? Who subcontracted out Twitter for $3 million to suppress information deemed harmful to the Biden campaign? Who squashed
an IRS investigation of the Biden family?
It was not the would-be dictator Donald Trump who secretly routed money
to the Wuhan virology lab, and who then manipulated government agencies
to hide that fact—at the expense of the welfare of the American people.
Who called up a former CIA director to round up 51 intelligence retirees
to lie to sabotage an election? Did not the current national security
advisor Jake Sullivan try to concoct the Alfa Bank ping ruse to destroy
the Trump campaign and administration?
When a former Pentagon lawyer and military officers called for a military coup to remove Trump, for which political agenda were they working?
Did Trump prompt the acting Attorney General and FBI Director to consider
in secret wearing a wire to entrap and remove a president through the
25th Amendment?
What was “Anonymous” about—if not to destroy an administration from within through use of the deep state bureaucracy?
Who coordinated Pfizer executives to delay announcement of the vaccine rollout until after the election to ensure Trump’s Operation Warp speed received no prelection credit?
Liberal journalist Molly Ball, in her notorious Time essay, outlined what
she called a “cabal” and “conspiracy” to destroy the 2020 Trump reelection campaign and indeed his presidency, through modulating
Antifa/BLM protests, suppression of the news, and huge infusions of
corporate money to augment or indeed absorb the work of the registrars in
key states.
Who exactly cooked up the phony Letitia James suit? Or the Alvin Bragg
joke of an indictment? Or the weaponized Fani Wallis vendetta? Or the partisan and asymmetrical hunt of Jack Smith? Who impeached a president
twice and tried him as a private citizen, without a report of a special counsel? Who revived the ossified Logan Act to destroy General Michael
Flynn?
And who is trying to strip Trump’s name off the 2024 ballot, convinced
that such a Third-world dictatorial effort can alone stop dictatorship?
In contrast, the supposed “dictator” Trump appointed a special counsel, Comey pal and insider Robert Mueller, to run a witch hunt against him for
22 months.
He did not fire Anthony Fauci who worked to undermine Trump at every
turn, and used government monies to fund gain-of-function, dangerous
viral research in China, while spending most of the Trump administration covering that fact up, most often by serially lying.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley despised Donald Trump to
such an extent that he called his Chinese communist counterpart to advise
him that he, Milley himself, would not follow a Trump order, should he
deem it too dangerous, without warning the Chinese in advance. Milley
faced no repercussions.
Nor did Trump fire immediately Comey when many called on him to go, given Comey’s effort to use the FBI in the 2016 election to undermine the Trump campaign and sabotage a FISA court.
Why did retired generals and admirals with impunity violate Article 88 of
the Uniform Code of Military Justice by smearing their Command-in-Chief
as a liar, Mussolini, Hitler-like, and deserving of early removal? Were
any even reminded that they were in violation of statutes? Is it a
dangerous thing for the U.S. military to attack their civilian overseers
and in private to negotiate with the communist Chinese military?
Most of the Russian collusion hoax was discussed in the waning days of
the Obama administration inside the Oval Office, as Obama greenlighted illegal CIA and FBI involvements.
Who cooked up the idea that Mark Zuckerberg could infuse $419 million to
warp balloting in key swing states?
What did Lois Lerner do as an IRS adjudicator, as the 2012 Obama
reelection loomed?
Trump may well have at times trolled the Left wildly, but the Left
seriously sought to undermine the government, cancel existing laws, lie
under oath, deceive a federal judge, and enlist the FBI and CIA to
conspire to destroy a presidential campaign. All that seems a bit dictatorial.
Three, after nearly nine years of Trump demonization—celebrities vying publicly with each to dream up ways of killing Trump (incineration, decapitation, shooting, stabbing, dismemberment, explosives, etc),
lawfare used to deny the American public the right to vote for or against Trump, a deranged media shouting pseudo-conspiracies of “collusion” and “disinformation” for years, and billionaires spending hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure Trump was never elected or reelected or
even on the ballot—why have the American people still not bought into the “dictator” Trump meme?
Is it because they have enough common sense to grasp that those who
protest too much, do so for obvious reasons?
In sum, we have seen a 24/7 effort of leftwing presidents, deep-state bureaucrats, and the media to break the law and weaponize the government.
The only rationale for such illegality has been the sick notion that the
ends of destroying the supposed “dictator” Trump justified any dictatorial means necessary to achieve them.
So what else is behind the latest epidemic of DNC talking points that
spin Trump as an existential threat to democracy?
The Left knows that in dictatorial fashion it has turned a federal
republic into a government run wild, lawless, and in service to partisan agendas. It again talks of what Trump will supposedly do only because the Left surely would do exactly what it accuses Trump of planning to do if
it were Trump.
In other words, the Left projects itself onto Trump, and understandably
finds itself all too terrifying."
Excellent post and well written. All are reasons why polls show the
voters have had enough. You left out a couple of issues that matter as
well:
Taking office and on the first day stating that the white citizens are "Systemically racist" does not constitute a way "To win friends and
influence people."
Trying to appeal to every group of "Weirdos" by stating they are victims
and filling every possible government position with one of them to show
he favors them over normal people, also does nothing to win votes.
Endorsing the teaching to young children in school that they are
something they are not, and even suggesting operations to them at an age
less than majority, is also sick.
I will close with a few final comments: I do not doubt that there are
racists out there. They exist in both the black and white races. In
fact, my life experiences make me believe that more exists in the black
race. That does not mean all blacks are racist, nor does it mean all
whites are either.
As for dressing and acting as if you are a female when you really are a
male, or vice versa. Do what you enjoy, but don't tell me I have to
agree with you. I might have to tolerate them, but I do not have to
agree with them.
As for DJT: I have worked for leaders and bosses that used harsh
language. Both in the Marine Corps and in business. One thing they had
in common was, they got things done. That is why DJT will be elected,
he gets things done.
