This is an email I got Tuesday morning from a Republican with national political experience, with thoughts that reflect the sentiments of a not insignificant number of Americans – sentiments that are fueling Trump’s lead much more than those of you in a Chevy Chase Blue Bubble realize:
Mark,
I am solidly in the “Biden stays” camp.
His arrogance and narcissism (that risked the security of our country for his own political purposes) will allow him to reject the logical premises of the Democratic leaders who, this year, rigged the nomination process once again to maintain their perch of power. They chose BIDEN even though his cognitive decline was apparent to anyone who paid attention.
I am in this camp partially because I want Biden as Trump’s opponent, and partly because I am thoroughly amused by the unintended consequences of the TDS crowd who put themselves in this perilous position.
But personal preferences aside, I am also in this camp because I think it is important for the country to show the MSM and Washington swamp creatures that they have committed the most treasonous of acts by pretending for 3 years, when the facts were objectively clear to the contrary, that Biden was healthy and capable of surviving 4 more years.
I find it incredible that this same group could rig the nomination process for Biden, shutting down a legitimate candidacy by RFK for example, and now just blatantly ignore the votes of millions of Democrats in the primaries and think they can turn on Biden and choose a new nominee through a back room, ignoring the public. How anti-Democracy can you get?
The problem with politics today is that unbridled power, pardon the pun, trumps civic duty and responsibility. The media has never been more irresponsible and the dangers to Democracy that our “founding Fathers’’ feared from a cabal of elites never has been more pronounced.
This hubris of this cabal is a result of almost 8 years of unchecked abuse.
The now unveiled political abuse of the Russian Hoax narrative was ignored when uncovered. Having lived through Watergate, I found it incredible that a conspiracy between the campaign of one of the 2 major Party candidates and the deep state (as uncovered to include the NSA, CIA, FBI, WH and allies of the USG like Australia) could be sidelined simply because of opposition to the other major Party candidate. Richard Nixon approved a burglary by a rag-tag crew of politically motivated non government activists. Barack Obama turned over his government to his Party’s national candidate. Nixon resigned his Presidency. Obama and Clinton went completely free. In fact, they were portrayed as heroes.
Four years later, the same crew of Obama/Biden, emboldened by their 2016 success, did it again when they deliberately misled the country about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Citing their “intelligence world” experience they called the laptop “Russian propaganda “ when they knew it was authentic and got their man elected. Again, when the truth was exposed, the deceit was ignored.
This is the hubris that led the same group to think they could just tell blatant lies about the President’s cognitive decline in pursuit of continuing their power. Using their levers of control in the media they accused the Biden accusers of lying and allowed the security of the US to be put in harms’ way.
Finally, no thanks to anyone other than Joe Biden himself, they have been exposed BEFORE a Presidential election. And now they are about to pay the price for their sins.
The threat of an unchecked media in conspiracy with a small group of power hungry fascists is “the” real danger to Democracy. The truly deranged swamp felt bulletproof and deliberately ignored what they saw daily…an enfeebled Biden was allowed to be hidden from the public.
Thank God for God. He picked the perfect moment to “finally” bring sanity and truth to the American people.
I am confident that on Nov 6 justice will finally be done and we will eradicate this true “existential threat” to Democracy and elect Donald Trump to finish the job of “draining the swamp”.
To those who fear Trump will abuse this power I say look at his behavior in his first term. While you might not like his policies, they worked. While you may fear retribution, remember the man who campaigned on “lock her up’, never entertained that possibility once empowered with the authority to do so.
Trump cherishes his legacy. He will be no threat to Democracy. The true threats have been exposed and are about to be defeated. The American people will not be fooled this time. The “swamp creatures” have finally been ensnarled in their own deceit and their vehicle, Joe Biden, has been their undoing.
