Democrats’ Contempt for the Will of the Voters

 The American Spectator

Their attacks on Trump are expressions of their animosity toward the electorate.


"The most important passage in George Orwell’s iconic and prescient novel 1984 is O’Brien’s chilling explanation to protagonist Winston Smith concerning the Party’s motives: “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.” It is no exaggeration to say this has become the raison d’ĂȘtre of the Democratic Party. Consequently, it’s imperative to remember that the electorate itself is the true target of Democratic attacks on President Trump. This is why its current presidential nominee calls his supporters “Chumps.” It is why the failed 2016 Democratic nominee recently described them as “cowards and spineless enablers.”

The Democratic Party and the ruling class it represents have nothing but contempt for the electorate, and their attempts to get rid of Trump are about nothing more than disfranchising the “chumps” who voted for him.

"Trump is the voice of a nationwide voter rebellion against the ruling class, and the Democrats know the revolt can’t be crushed until he is silenced. They want the proles to return to our roles as obedient servants of Beltway bureaucrats and politicians. This is what they mean by “returning to normalcy.” But they know this will never happen as long as Trump is in a position to implement policies and appoint officials favored by the despised voters. Even as this is being written, the Democrats are decrying the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, despite broad public approval of her record. As Majority Leader Mitch McConnell phrased it on the floor of the Senate:"  . . .

. . . "Or, as Orwell phrased it in 1984, “No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end.… The object of power is power.” If it seems farfetched that even the Democrats would govern in such a cynical fashion, consider that less than a year ago, they impeached the president pursuant to ridiculous charges — despite the consistent failure of the Democrats to convince a majority of voters that such drastic action was appropriate. Or, if you’re a real masochist, think about the two-year Mueller investigation into an implausible conspiracy theory and its embarrassing collapse. Both of these burlesques were clear abuses of power without regard to the will of the electorate."

Conservatives Celebrate, Leftists Freak Out Over Amy Coney Barrett’s Confirmation

Comma-La, it's not as if she slept her way to the top, you know.

Is it some sort of career move, or are these people really this vapid?
