So there was no red wave.
Despite runaway inflation, a
looming recession, supply chain shortages, a cratering stock market, lock
downs, vaccine mandates, surging crime, the indoctrination—and sexual
grooming—of our children, open borders and the resultant surge in fentanyl
deaths and the sex trafficking of minors, looming energy shortages, the
balkanization of our nation by Democrats’ obsession with identity politics and
intersectionality, Democrats embrace of the Great reset and globalism, and
progressives’ never-ending push for evermore woke madness, voters did not
punish the Democratic Party in general in the 2022 midterm elections. In fact,
despite truly unprecedented negatives, its worst case scenario is it will lose
far fewer seats than is typical in a “normal” midterm election following a new party’s
president taking office.
That is truly frightening. There
are only three possible reasons for this, none of which are any better than the
others. One, Democrats have so corrupted the election process that they can
effectively control who wins and loses, at least in races that are reasonably
close. Two, roughly half of Americans care more about their “right” to kill
their unborn babies and to have the federal government take care of them
from cradle to grave (since they were not aborted) than they do about economic
disaster, societal splintering, surging crime, and personal freedoms. And,
three, some combination of one and two.
Democrats know that the millions of
immigrants pouring across our southern border will permanently alter the fabric
of the nation—and the electorate. They know that this, combined with the almost
total indoctrination of the nation’s youth by the educational system and their
resultant fealty to the Democratic Party, means that conservative Republicans will
likely never again win an important national election. Those under 30 voted overwhelmingly
for Democrats in the 2022 election. Had it not been for this group, there
would have been a red wave, or at least a red wavelet. Democrats know time,
like almost everything else, is on their side.
This is bad enough. But one thing I
haven’t yet seen properly addressed in any mid-term election postmortem is what
this means for all of us going forward: the nutty far-left base of the Donkey
Party will be energized and emboldened as never before. If you thought the pace
of change was breathtakingly rapid in the past few years…you ain’t seen nothin’
yet. Wait until you see what they do now. There is already talk amongst
progressives that President Biden, who has overseen the most rapid—and radical—transformation
of the country in history, is not radical enough for their liking.
John Kerry is saying the strategy
to fight
climate change should be rolled out ala the COVID-19 vaccines. If this is
instituted, all of us will experience severe adverse effects, not just a
significant
minority.
Those of us that oppose this vast
left-wing conspiracy and who would like to see The Swamp drained will be pushed
further and further to the side. We will be openly chastised, mocked,
shadow-banned, tracked, cancelled—and otherwise dealt with as necessary. You
know, so that “our democracy” can be saved. Big
Tech has already pledged to punish those who hold political opinions that
differ from official, government-approved notions.
I have written of the coming demise
of the (formerly) United States on more than one occasion in the past. None of
which gave me pleasure. All of which made my stomach churn.
In a previous post for American
Thinker I wrote: “Stalin is alleged to have said: ‘It's not the people
who vote that count; it's the people who count the votes.’"
Actually, it’s both.
