Since taking office, Biden has colluded with Big Tech to silence dissent against his policies and made moves to create his own Orwellian “Truth Ministry,” a more serious blow to self-government than anything Trump ever talked of doing, let alone actually did.
Biden also demonstrated a willingness to use his power to undermine the rule of law by effectively eliminating border security, bringing an invasion of several million illegal immigrants who either rushed the border or made bogus asylum claims.
He’s shown, as with his implementing a student loan forgiveness plan without the benefit of law, that he has no scruples about trashing the separation of powers and the Constitution while grabbing power. Indeed, that’s something that neither Trump nor George III ever did (Andrew Roberts’ biography teaches us that George III actually respected the British Constitution even if he was blind to the sensibilities of his American subjects).
More than that, Biden has, to the cheers of his base, presided over efforts to prosecute and jail his leading political opponent on a raft of flimsy and bogus charges. On top of that, the Democrats are now making active efforts — with Colorado and Maine in the lead — to take Trump entirely off the ballot, even though he is currently the choice of more than 60 percent of Republican voters and leading Biden head-to-head and in matchups that include third-party candidates.
On top of that, the Democrat Party fixed its presidential primaries in such a way as to ensure no opposition to Biden would be allowed.
Cheating in elections is as old as the republic itself, and we’ve had plenty of administrations that bent the rules to their advantage. But the targeting of Trump alone is arguably the most blatant effort to undermine self-government and steal an election in American political history.
Expect Media Bias and Mobs
If that weren’t enough, it’s an open secret that the corporate media plan to discard even the most flimsy attempts to feign objectivity in election coverage, as shown in recent columns from chattering class establishmentarians such as Margaret Sullivan and Maureen Dowd. Since Trump is now branded as anti-democratic, the claim is that Democrats will be right to do anything, no matter how illegal, to defeat him. And their accomplice media are prepared to declare all such efforts perfectly democratic no matter how despotic they actually are.
If Trump wins despite all of this, it’s not unreasonable to expect Democrats, along with their establishment and administrative-state minions, to do exactly what they claimed Trump plotted to do in 2020 by denying an election and illegally attempting to change the results. Such efforts will likely be backed up by the corporate media and the same mobs who poured into the streets of America’s cities in the summer of 2020. That sounds a lot more like an insurrection than anything attempted by the rioters of Jan. 6.
Biden is, however, right about one thing. There is a party that is a threat to democracy, and it will be fighting for power in November. But its leader is Joe Biden, not Donald Trump.
