The Jig is Up, the News is Out
The cheating, prevaricating, hostile Democrat Party should brace for impact.
The obvious truth about the Democrat Party, or a least the elite within it, is that they simply do not trust voters, theirs, those of the GOP or independents, to make the "right" decision in elections.
The "right" decision, of course, is to vote for Democrats.
Former Clinton hack and current CNN contributor, Paul "The Forehead" Begala, said the quiet part out loud just last week when he noted:
"I think the problem for the Democrats right now is not that they have bad leaders. They have bad followers, okay?"
So, if you are a Dem and you know Biden is rumbling, stumbling, bumbling toward idiotic, incoherent and incompetent policy actions that are leading to potentially historic levels of Democrat electoral defeat this year, as well as in 2024 and beyond, you are a “bad follower”. The Forehead is saying it is not him, it is you who is the problem.
But the Democrats have a built-in weakness, a wish for the impossible.
What Democrats wanted was not a "return to normalcy", they really wanted a return to the Obama years. They wanted a return to the thrilling days of yesteryear where they could silence any enemy by claiming any opposition to Obama’s disastrous policies was based on racist hatred of a black president. Using this tactic meant they never had to worry about any level of policy analysis deeper than the most superficial editorial in the New York Times and any attempt by a member of the Obama Superfriends Club could be dismissed as just another example of racism.
Can’t run those plays when an old, cognitively declining, career swamp rat, white guy is in the White House, even if he has a multiple check box POC as a sidekick (who happens to equal the Honky in Chief in incompetence but far surpasses him in sloth and the belief the VP job is beneath her).
They were never going to get Obama II, even with Obama as a shadow president, when they selected a man who lost IQ points daily, especially when he never had a lot in the bank to start with.
Sure, the pandemic played a big role, but lest we forget, Democrats in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin were working under the radar to change election laws and processes well BEFORE anyone knew what a coronavirus was.
They were not about to have another Hillary surprise in battleground states, and they wanted to institutionalize structural change that would guarantee prevention such a recurrence, so they looked to California for how to create a one-party state and began the process of creating opportunities to manufacture the votes they needed.
Then came the pandemic.
The Covid-19 pandemic presented a crisis of such fortuitous timing and epic proportions, it was just too good to resist. Seldom have Rahm Emmanuel’s words about “never letting a good crisis go to waste” been more salient.
Covid-19 was the fentanyl of political opportunism, a drug powerful enough to destroy in very small amounts, but easy and cheap to get and it produced a massive high.
The pandemic gave us mailed-out ballots, absentee voting without restriction, ballot harvesting, unsecured drop boxes, skinned down election oversight, breaches in counting processes, phantom water leaks in Georgia and once the Democrats were able coax Joe and his walker across the line with a cone of ice cream, the most secure election in the history of elections.
But the excuse of the pandemic had a problem.
It was too obvious.
Perhaps it took hindsight for people to recognize it – and it was too late to do anything about it – but the actions taken by Democrats before and during the election soon came to be recognized as nakedly partisan and wholly inappropriate, never mind likely illegal and certainly unconstitutional.
Biden’s election “win” stretched credulity. Rational people couldn’t square the fact he campaigned from his basement, his “rallies” drew literally tens of people (mostly media) while Trump continued to draw tens of thousands, the Democrats lost heavily in the House (and if not for the incompetence of the RNC, they would not have Kamala as a tie-breaker in the Senate), vote count results defied the laws of statistics as late night stoppages produced step-function shifts that were always in Biden’s favor.
And add to that the morning after assurances from the media and the D.C. Democrats that this was the most secure and credible election in the history of the American Republic.
For many, and I count myself in that group, that last one was just too much to swallow. It was too obvious that the Democrats and their media allies (even the election desk at Fox News) were urinating down our backs and telling us just to sit back and enjoy the warm, comforting, rainstorm.
Most of us remembered that before the November election, Democrat operatives were already hedging the Party’s bets by preparing the post-election battlespace, condemning Mitch McConnell and the GOP for not stopping the Russian interference (which helped Trump win in 2016 and had been ongoing for four years) and massing an army of lawyers in key states with pre-written election challenges in hand, only awaiting the outcome before running to sympathetic Democrat appointed judges to file them.
By every observable cue and metric, it seemed obvious the Democrats expected to lose.
Just as Hillary losing in 2016 was a shocker to Democrats, Biden winning came as a stunning surprise.
Now they had to scramble to cover their tracks.
The pandemic ruse has the same issue as the Mueller investigation, now that it is winding down and the panic is subsiding, people are returning to reason, and as they do, they see just how obvious the Democrat perfidy and treachery really was. The “cry wolf” efforts to keep the panic at the disco going through Omicron variant scare tactics didn’t work, it just revealed how far the left is willing to go to obtain and hold power.
To borrow a few lines from the old Styx song, “Renegade”:
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man…
But who is coming to hold them accountable??
