Democrats Aren't Protecting Democracy, They Have Already Destroyed It.
The Democratic Party has charted a course into dangerous, volatile, and unprecedented waters in America.
The left can’t explain how Trump is a threat to democracy anymore than they could explain Trump-Russia collusion. That false narrative that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election was as contrived and meritless as the threat to democracy narrative. The most compelling case the left could make that Trump colluded with Putin was a made-up and salacious claim that Trump stayed in a Moscow hotel and made a pee-pee tape with a bunch of Russian prostitutes. It wasn’t true, but even if it were, how exactly would some unsanitary sexual exploit in a Russian hotel room have influenced the 2016 election and help Trump win? Was Putin in the room — dressed in drag?
After Trump was elected in 2016, it was the Clinton campaign and outgoing Obama administration, which sought to undermine the will of the people by using the Clinton funded Steele Dossier — made up lies masquerading as legitimate opposition research — in an effort to overturn the 2016 election results.
As that coup attempt fizzled out, Democrats hatched a new effort to oust President Trump. They impeached Trump over an alleged ‘quid pro quo’ phone call with the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The primary allegation was that during a phone call with the Ukrainian President on July 25, 2019 Trump threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless Ukraine publicly announced investigations into purported Biden corruption in Ukraine.
The immense irony is that it was known that Biden himself had engaged in his own ‘quid pro quo’ with the former Ukrainian President Poroshenko while serving as Vice President. Joe Biden had threatened to withhold $1 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine if the Ukrainian President didn’t fire its chief prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma, which was paying his son Hunter nearly $1 million dollars per year. Joe Biden even bragged about it in January of 2018 during an appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations.
During the appearance, which is captured on video, Biden says: “I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.”
While Trump did ask the Ukrainian President to get to the bottom of what appeared to be Biden corruption in Ukraine during the phone call, he didn’t even mention foreign aid. There was no quid pro quo. Even still, Ukraine got its defense aid and no requirement was made for them to commence any investigations into Joe Biden or Hunter Biden as a pre-requisite.
And if a sitting President asking Ukraine to investigate a then-potential Presidential candidate and political opponent — Joe Biden — ahead of an election was so intolerable to Democrats, why did the Obama White House and Clinton campaign meet repeatedly with Ukrainian officials ahead the 2016 election to ask for their help in proving Trump-Russia collusion?
Obama’s DOJ re-opened a previously closed case about whether or not Paul Manafort received undeclared payments from the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. The ledger showing payments to Paul Manafort was suddenly found and leaked by Ukraine in May of 2016 after Manafort was named Trump’s campaign chairman.
A Ukrainian court concluded that two Ukrainian officials violated the law by releasing the financial information and that it was an attempt to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. During the 2016 election, U.S. officials asked Kiev to drop the probe into Burisma, which had paid Hunter Biden and his firm millions, but asked Ukraine to work with them to probe any ties Trump had to Russia.
What Trump aimed to get to the bottom of was well documented and known. He didn’t make up a story about potential Biden corruption and meddling in Ukrainian affairs. It happened. The investigation into Trump-Russia collusion, however, was entirely made up. Special counsel John Durham’s final report — the conclusion of a nearly three year investigation into the Trunp-Russia collusion hoax — confirmed that Hillary Clinton’s plan to falsely tie Trump to Russia was briefed by former CIA Director John Brennan to both Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The report laid out that "Specifically, Director Brennan’s declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the meeting’s participants regarding the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on 26 July of a proposal from one of her [campaign] advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.” It was an outright coup and the Obama administration was in on it.
Then, four years later, the Biden campaign colluded with the FBI, CIA, and media to suppress the damaging Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. Nearly four in five Americans have since said ‘truthful’ coverage of the laptop would have changed the 2020 election. Was the Biden campaign and U.S. government protecting democracy by ensuring that the American voter couldn’t make an informed decision at the polls? Is the intentional and highly coordinated deception of the American voter an indication of someone, who is protecting democracy, or thwarting it?
When Democrats say they are ‘protecting democracy’ what they really mean is that they are protecting the Democratic Party. For Democrats, ‘protecting democracy’ is nothing more than an expression of their ‘ends justifies the means’ mentality, by which their own lawless and even seditious behavior is justified because they have declared their intentions to be noble.
Imagine if Trump had threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine if the lead prosecutor in Ukraine, who was investigating the Ukrainian company that employed his son Don Jr., wasn’t fired and the investigation terminated.
Imagine if Trump had paid for the creation of a dossier containing fictional stories about either Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden and used that document to falsely vilify either political opponent. Imagine if Trump had used that document to spy on his opponent’s campaigns and then upon losing an election leveraged those lies to demand a two year investigation into either Biden or Clinton while they were President.
Or imagine that Trump had used the FBI and CIA to pressure social media companies to kill and censor a story published in the New York Times that factually revealed that Trump had leveraged his own power as President to rake in tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries; that Trump had enlisted the help of 51 former intelligence community members to sign a document discrediting the truthful and damning evidence as Russia disinformation, even while they knew it was real.
The Clinton campaign and Obama administration effectively co-sponsored a plan to falsely accuse Trump of colluding to steal and election. It was treason. And yet Democrats will continue to deny this and parrot the lie that they concocted. There will be no repercussions and they will continue to claim that it is they, who are protecting Democracy and it is Trump, who is trying to destroy democracy.
The Democratic Party has charted a course into dangerous, volatile, and unprecedented waters in America. Because any admission of wrong doing would threaten to bring the entire Democrat house of cards crashing to the ground, they must strategically maintain a constant barrage of accusations against Trump. They must repeatedly and without pause vilify Trump to maintain this charade that they are fighting to protect America from Trump, when it is America, who needs protection from them.
This is why America has been submerged in unprecedented division, hatred, and Trump hoaxes since 2016. Democrats cannot allow us to rise above the tumultuous waters for air because if we were allowed even a moment to get our bearings and stabilize, we would all finally recognize what the Democrats have done to this country.
While it’s true that Democrats and even many RINOs have despised Trump since 2016, most of them never thought Trump could be elected President. His unlikely victory broke them and drove them to madness. And because the Democratic Party went to lawless and unprecedented lengths to prevent his election — both in 2016 and 2020 — they are desperate to cover up their actions. Consequently, the Democrats have adopted a blitzkrieg strategy. The corrupt media, DOJ, FBI, and district attorneys throughout America are doing everything in their collective power to invent Trump scandal after scandal in an effort to distract the American people from their own wrongdoing and shield themselves from having to answer for their crimes.
Democrats aren’t protecting democracy, they have already destroyed it.
