Today's Democrats would have power to destroy America as we know it

 Remember Obama's "Fundamentally transform" America? Never forget that totalitarianism is the ideology that fundamentally transforms. The youthful cheers at Obama's words remind me of the keffiyeh-clad students cheers today, "Free, free Palestine". TD

ALREADY BEGUN: The post-election court fights to block Trump from taking office    "Hypocritical Democrats are quietly girding and strategizing for a post-election court fight to block Donald Trump from taking office and refusing to fully commit to certifying the election in the event of a Republican win.

"Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz recently set off a firestorm by saying the Electoral College "needs to go" and that the national popular vote should determine the next president.

" 'Democrats have now made it a tradition to object to electors, certain slates of electors, and they have every single time a Republican president has won in the last quarter century," House Speaker Mike Johnson told the New York Post on Monday. "They have objected for often ridiculous reasons, and I expect that many of them would object when Trump wins, for no other reason than they just don't like him."

"Yet Democratic lawmakers and the media are already laying the groundwork to make it seem like the former Republican president is the only candidate who might fight the election results.

"A long and slanted article in Politico recently laid out all the various scenarios Trump might take to overturn the election if he loses.


"But Democrats' plans were reduced to a single parenthetical sentence: "(If Trump wins, no one expects a comparable effort by Democrats to subvert the election)."

"This despite the fact that some Democrats tried in 2017 to block Trump's election over Hillary Clinton and have already publicly speculated about what would happen if Trump wins in 2024.

" 'We would have to, in any election… make sure that all the rules have been followed," U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., said.

"And U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the Jan. 6 committee, said he expected Democrats would challenge a Trump win in court.

"U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told Axios that if Trump "won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it" – pointedly refusing to say what would happen if he believed the results were not fair and honest.

"Raskin added that he "definitely" didn't assume Trump would use fair and honest tactics to win." . . .

"This is the most damning political ad I’ve ever seen. It’s also hard to believe Kamala openly said these things. Just wow"

The words are taken out of context, but the facts are true as she said them. TD
