Voters Decided Democrats Are The Biggest Threat To Democracy

THE FEDERALIST/ Robert Gagnon-

There was a continual drumbeat from the legacy media throughout the election cycle that former President Donald Trump was a grave threat to democracy. Yet exit polls on Election Day showed that this was a concern of a far larger percentage of voters (73 percent) than just those who voted for Harris (48 percent). Commentators on election night struggled with explaining why Harris lost. The answer was leftist extremism and totalitarianism. In short, as Shakespeare put it through the character of Cassius, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” Leftists are the great threat to democracy, not Trump.

They chose the most extreme politician to run for president, through an antidemocratic process of selection. She epitomized the two great idols of the Democratic Party, its raison d’être: unrestricted “reproductive freedom” (abortion) and coercive LGBTQ immorality. Harris in turn chose the most politically extreme running mate she could find, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Leftists control most of the news media, social media (thank God for Elon Musk’s X), the academy of colleges and universities, the entertainment industry, Fortune 500 companies, and search engines. But that wasn’t enough control of the flow of information. No, they had to have more.

They had to push for further cancellation of free speech and “disinformation boards.” Harris, Walz, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry all came out with threats to free speech. Schools have become one-sided indoctrination centers rather than centers of learning. “News” media from the left have become little more than thinly veiled propaganda organs of the Democrat Party. Their biased coverage of this election was shameful. They showed a lack of self-awareness that opinion was not news and left-wing ideology was not truth.

Still, it was not enough. They tried to secure a one-party state through a massive illegal immigration scheme, enabling unprecedented millions of border crossings to turn border states blue. They allowed catch-and-release into the interior of the country, providing an app (CBP One) for anyone in Central and South America to use so that they can fly into swing states. They opposed every voter ID law and every attempt to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. They are keen on granting amnesty to all 13+ million illegal immigrants in the country. Why? Altruism? No, because they want one-party rule. It doesn’t matter that it increases crime and costs social services billions of dollars. Continue reading…
