When Democrats accuse you of doing something nefarious — for example, subverting democracy — you can bet your bottom dollar it’s because they are doing exactly what they are accusing you of doing. That’s just how their party works.
It’s just that they don’t usually do it so openly as this.
HILLARY CLINTON SAYS REPUBLICANS HAVE PLAN TO ‘STEAL 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION’
As Georgians vote in record numbers this week, Democrats are watching their plans to preemptively delegitimize the 2022 election with bogus claims of voter suppression go up in flames. But Hillary Clinton is thinking way ahead like the Democratic thought leader she is. She is already attempting to delegitimize the 2024 election in advance.
“I know we’re all focused on the 2022 midterm elections, and they are incredibly important,” she told supporters on Twitter this week. “But we also have to look ahead because, you know what, our opponents certainly are. Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election, and they’re not making a secret of it.”
This is precisely the sort of comment that, in President Joe Biden’s oh-so-serious view, would make most people a “semifascist.” But professional Democratic politicians are exempted from such standards of conduct.
This year, they attempted to set up a stolen election narrative from 2021, when Georgia passed its election reform bill. They told every lie in the book, but it isn’t working. The record voting tallies so far in Georgia do not lie, and they leave no path forward for Democrats’ most prominent election denialist to con her way to another “lost victory” conspiracy theory. Stacey Abrams lost her 2018 race by 55,000 votes, fair and square, and she will likely lose this time by a lot more.
Deep down, neither Biden nor Clinton nor any other Democrat who understands elections is serious about any of this “our democracy under threat” claptrap. The only thing they see under threat is their own access to power.
That’s because Democrats don’t believe in “democracy” the way you do — you know, as the concept of popular rule by a voting majority or its elected representatives. Rather, they identify democracy as the condition of their party controlling everything and all dissenting voices being permanently deplatformed, intimidated into silence, forced into bankruptcy, and perhaps even imprisoned on trumped-up charges designed to punish political disagreement.
The only reason Democrats hated Donald Trump so much, and why they keep obsessing over him even to this day, is that he said and did so many things they have been saying and doing as a party for years. The former president embraced their habit of election denial, and he encouraged other Republicans to do so as well. The whole country is worse off for this, but for Democrats to lecture on this topic is akin to Jeffrey Toobin giving speeches about appropriate online workplace behavior.
Democrats have famously refused to accept the outcomes of every presidential election they have lost since the turn of the century. They attempted in Congress to overturn the democratic results of the 2000, 2004, and 2016 presidential elections. And Clinton is already ahead of the pack, prepared to deny the next Republican victory in 2024.
Democrats only accept election outcomes when they win because they do not believe that any opposition to their agenda is legitimate. This is what makes them, not Trump, the biggest and most dangerous threat to democracy today.
