Will There Be An Election In 2024?

“There’s an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy — the MAGA movement.”

“We should all remember, democracies don’t have to die at the end of a rifle. They can die when people are silent when they fail to stand up or condemn threats to democracy, when people are willing to give away that which is most precious to them because they feel frustrated, disillusioned, tired, alienated.”

Joe Biden in a recent speech in Arizona.

This is a man who has used the power of the federal government to censor free speech and deny Americans their First Amendment rights. This is a man whose Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently created a panel of experts that includes at least several individuals who directly interfered in at least two Presidential elections, attempted to remove a sitting duly elected President, and covered up a mountain of evidence suggesting that he had been compromised by Chinese intelligence.

This is a man whose political party is already pursuing multiple legal actions against his primary political opponent, Donald Trump with the goal of imprisoning him and preventing him from running for office again.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka: “They’re evil, they’re conniving, they’re cunning, but they’re stupid”

Our society’s ‘top brains’ have gone mad — and dysfunctional politics is the result

“Suppose we got it all wrong and the real crazies are the TV people in nice suits and $300 haircuts?”

That’s an observation by Richard Fernandez on Twitter, and he has a good point.

There’s a lot of craziness in the air these days.

But for the most part it seems to be flowing from the top down, not bubbling up from the bottom.

It wasn’t farmers and factory workers who came up with the idiotic COVID responses — nor was it they who originated the more or less criminal idea of conducting “gain of function” research on making dangerous viruses more dangerous.

It wasn’t shopkeepers and bus drivers who thought the way to deal with burgeoning urban crime was to get rid of police and release criminals without bail.

It hasn’t been landscapers and auto mechanics championing the notion that a child in the single-digit age range can make a lifetime choice about his or her genitalia or maintaining that even criticizing that idea is itself a species of “violence.”

Ordinary Americans haven’t been claiming the way to promote free speech is to censor people or the way to end racism is to classify everyone by race and consequently treat them differently.
