A great deal has happened since the last essay: the primaries are over, Trump was nearly assassinated, President Joe “Wimpy” Biden has abandoned his re-election attempt (owing to poor polling); the “Documents” case against Mr. Trump has been dropped (but subject to appeal); and the Republicans had a successful national convention. It appears on the surface that Mr. Trump is on a winning streak, but I think a lot of it is wishful thinking on the part of Republicans. Here is a list of reasons why this may be so.
8.1 The Democrat Nominee
Conventional wisdom indicates that Vice President Kamala “Smirky” Harris will be the Democratic nominee despite her unpopularity and well-known incompetence even among Democrats. She has access to all the money raised so far by the Biden/Harris ticket, and that alone puts her in a strong position at the Convention. It is also very difficult, given the Democrats’ advocacy for “diversity”, to replace Ms. Harris: black women in high offices are hard to get rid of. On the other hand, since the Democrats do not respect the Constitution or the law, there is no reason to assume they will obey their own internal nominating rules. If Harris remains at the top of the ticket, her most viable running mate is Michelle Obama (due to her personal popularity and direct pipeline to Barack). We will then have two America-hating incompetents running for the two highest offices. A Harris/Obama ticket will certainly bring a great many of the Democratic Party base out to vote, especially since Michelle Obama could resign soon after inauguration, and be replaced with a more effective and more palatable Marxist. The Democrats will claim “it is time for America to show total commitment to equality by electing an all-female ticket”. The Democrats will say it; the mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, and the social media empires will continuously chant it, and the federal bureaucracy will confirm it. The people will believe it and vote accordingly … unless the Republicans find a backbone and figure out how to counter this political propaganda.
8.2 Abortion
The Democrat Party has long advocated for unlimited abortion rights (which they call “reproductive health care”, just to insult your intelligence). Although the Supreme Court has already ruled, by overturning Roe v. Wade, that abortion regulation is solely left to the States, the Democrats can get a lot of mileage out of the issue by making false claims. The false claims include: a) Republicans want to put doctors and women in jail for abortions; b) Republicans want to end all abortions, including exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother; and c) the U. S. must have unlimited abortion access at the national level because it is a civil right. The Democrats will say it; the mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, and the social media empires will continuously chant it, and the federal bureaucracy will confirm it. The people will believe it and vote accordingly … unless the Republicans find a backbone and figure out how to counter this political propaganda.
8.3 Demonize the Populist Movement (i.e., “Make America Great Again”)
The Democratic Party position regarding the populist movement is easy to see already. First and foremost, the Democrats will claim that Mr. Trump and all who support him are evil. No opprobrium is too much: hater, racist, homophobe, transphobe, misogynist, fascist, NAZI, tyrant, communist, subversive, insurrectionist, exploiter, drug dealer, treasonous, child molester, etc. The message will consist of Trump’s previous tweets and comments taken out of context in order to “prove” any of the preceding accusations. It is referred to as “Trump Derangement Syndrome”; a misnomer, since the Democrats once had “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. It is actually “Constitution Derangement Syndrome” because the Democratic Party is devoted to destroying it. The problem is that non-Democratic officeholders are in the way, or perceived to be in the way. Remember: the attacks on Trump and populists in general are actually attacks on the American Constitution, Judeo-Christian values, and the traditional rule of law. The Democrats will make these false claims; the mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, and the social media empires will continuously chant it, and the federal bureaucracy will confirm it. The people will believe it and vote accordingly … unless the Republicans find a backbone and figure out how to counter this political propaganda.
8.4 Republican Overconfidence
The Republicans appear to be united with Mr. Trump as their nominee, and the recent polling shows he is doing well against both Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris. But it is important to remember that two weeks is an eternity in politics, and we are therefore seven eternities from the election. A lot can and will happen: the Democrats may find a better candidate and the administrative State is already working on underhanded conspiracies against Trump. Remember “the Biden laptop is a Russian plant” and “the Steele Dossier is all true”. Who knows what they will come up with next; most likely is another indictment, probably for treason. At the same time, the Republicans are already talking about winning in Minnesota and Virginia, States that have been solidly Democratic for many years. This is the kind of overconfidence that Republicans seem to be susceptible to, and have not learned their lesson from the failed “red wave” of 2022.
8.5 Outright Election Fraud
The Democrats (secretly) like to paraphrase their idol Josef Stalin: it doesn’t matter how the voters vote; what matters is how the counters count. Recall that Mr. Biden has allowed approximately 12 million illegal aliens to enter the U. S.; if a Democrat gets elected (Harris or not), they will continue the same policy. The Democrats will commit any crime and tell any lie to gain power, and it is likely that ballots have been fabricated for all 12 million of them. All that is required is a name and a fake address, since most States do not verify citizenship directly. Keep in mind that there are 12 million of these fake ballots in each State, not just 12 million total. It will be a simple matter for these fake ballots to magically appear in the tabulation offices without having been mailed out. The Democrats can then make a claim that no illegal aliens actually voted. That is true: the ballots will have been created by Democrat operatives without the illegal aliens even knowing about it. The Democrats have other advantages: the vote counters in the critical counties in the battleground States are either Democrats, or have supervisors that are Democrats. If necessary or convenient, it will be fairly straightforward to engineer outright fraud to get the Democrats elected. The Republicans who object will find they don’t have standing in court, since fraud will have to be proven before the oaths of office are taken; virtually an impossible task. He who commits the best fraud the most gets the offices, the specialty of Democrats.
