Is America nonetheless standing?
Is democracy nonetheless alive and nicely?
Of course it’s, regardless of the dire warnings of doom by three Democrat presidents — one present and two formers — that the one option to save democracy was to vote for Democrats.
They had been unsuitable. The Republicans — and everybody else involved concerning the downward spiral Joe Biden and the Democrats have put the nation in — got here out and voted.
And whereas the anticipated Republican election wave didn’t materialize, the GOP appeared to take over the House whereas placing management of the Senate in play.
Joe Biden might breathe just a little simpler.
Despite their darkish and irresponsible warnings concerning the Jan 6 Capitol riot and the tip of democracy if the Democrats misplaced the election, what they actually meant was the potential finish of the Democrat Party because it presently exists.
Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, the three blind mice of malice, tried to frighten the American individuals with a phony story as a result of they might not speak concerning the points that actually frightened individuals.
But they weren’t alone. Vice President Kamala Harris in contrast Jan 6 to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor that capitulated the U.S. into World War II.
They weren’t the problems individuals cared about
Those points that the Democrats didn’t discuss had been Biden’s self-inflicted coverage disasters, starting along with his conflict on fossil gasoline that turned a nation with plentiful power into a rustic begging the Saudis for oil.
This lack of power led to hovering meals and fuel costs, drastic hikes in residence heating oil and pure fuel. This is to not point out the Democrats defund the police motion and help of cashless bail that has led to a shocking enhance in crime throughout the nation.
Nor did this take into accounts the unlawful immigrant invasion on the open southern border and the attendant issues of Mexican cartels smuggling medication and terrorists into the nation.
This didn’t even take into accounts Biden’s overseas coverage disasters, starting from his lethal cut-and-run coverage in Afghanistan to sucking as much as the Iranians.
As late as Sunday, Biden caught to his conflict on U.S.-produced fossil gasoline. “No more drilling,” he mentioned.
It is unfortunately ironic that, on the eve of Veteran’s Day, Democrats Biden, Clinton and Obama, now of their dotage, could be “defending” democracy and their nation from its alleged enemies once they failed to take action of their youth.
Two of the three, Biden and Clinton, had been draft dodgers, throughout the Vietnam War, as was Republican Donald Trump. All three sought and acquired a number of deferments from the draft, which meant that another person acquired drafted and served of their place.
Obama didn’t serve within the navy both. They all had an opportunity to serve their nation and defend democracy once they had been younger males and none of them did.
Parenthetically, the 2 different residing former presidents, neither of which was concerned within the 2022 marketing campaign, did serve within the navy. Republican George W. Bush prevented the Vietnam War draft by enlisting within the Texas Air National Guard, and Democrat Jimmy Carter, a 1946 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, served till 1953.
Yet, all as presidents additionally turned commander in chief and despatched different younger women and men to combat, kill and die in battles that a number of of them as soon as dodged.
One distinction among the many fearsome foursome on the marketing campaign trails is that Trump was the one one who didn’t discuss saving democracy. His sometimes Trumpian pitch was to avoid wasting himself for one more run for president.
And apart from, when the Democrats talked about saving democracy, they had been speaking about saving it not solely from Trump, however from everyone who voted for him in 2016, in 2020 and who will vote for him once more in 2024.
They mocked and attacked half the nation.
No marvel they misplaced the House, if not the Senate — and our democracy remains to be standing.
