Will the Left Respect Democracy If Trump Wins?

The left and its mocking bird media are fond of asking whether the GOP and MAGA movement will “accept the results of the election.” Their question’s assumptions are two-fold: one, there will be no voter “irregularities” in the election; and, two, the Democrat candidate will win the presidency.

Their first assumption would constitute a historical first. America has a long history of such electoral irregularities by both parties. In addition to the Jim Crow civil rights violations against African-Americans starting during Reconstruction, various “bosses” from both parties orchestrated patronage systems designed to facilitate electoral wins by any means fair or foul to keep the graft gravy train running: phantom voters, ballot box stuffing, multiple voting by individual voters in the same election, etc.

In the 18th Century, New York was a hotbed of “bossism.” One of the earliest and most successful was former Whig and later GOP boss, Senator Thurlow Weed. Later, and ironically, the chief executive who signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was a product of New York Senator and state GOP boss Roscoe Conkling’s machine, namely President Chester A. Arthur, who was known as “the Gentleman Boss.” Meanwhile, in New York City, William M. “Boss” Tweed helmed the Democrats’ legendary Tammany Hall.

Yet, while the above instances were predicated on greed, today ideology and fear can spark the baser instincts of many politically driven individuals to “win” elections by any means necessary. Thus, in our politically divisive time, wherein many on both sides of the aisle believe the defeat of their party will result in the death of democracy and/or the republic, it is naïve to believe not one solitary individual, be they left or right, would endeavor to engage in voter irregularities to win.

For example, in a nation of more than 330 million citizens and millions more individuals who are in the nation illegally, it would be presumptuous to assume no individual would avail themselves of the opportunity to have non-citizens and/or “undocumented arrivals” illegally cast a vote, especially since many Democrats support non-citizens voting in American elections at the local, state, and national level. Further, in this and other instances, the former COVID-19 “emergency” voting procedures that have now been formalized in several states engender the temptation to engage in and hinder the ability to detect such voting “irregularities.”

Finally, it is inane to ask anyone if they accept as a fact a hypothetical. How can anyone state they will accept the rectitude and the outcome of an election that has not happened yet? Granted, in demanding Republicans and MAGA supporters concede this determination in advance, the left is attempting to promote its “insurrectionist” narrative. But it is also endeavoring to insulate itself should any of its supporters become, shall we say, overzealous in their harvesting of ballots. In doing so, they are implying that they, too, have already conceded the rectitude and the outcome of the election.

Yet, the left has most certainly not conceded this point.

This brings us to the left and their mocking bird media’s second assumption: the Democrat candidate—whoever it may be—will win the presidency; and only the GOP and MAGA election-deniers would refuse to concede the legitimacy of this win. This assumption has lately been shaken by Mr. Biden’s debate debacle. Nevertheless, Democrats have not been required to affirm their preemptive allegiance to the election’s conduct and outcome. Why?

Well, if recent history is any guide—and it is—the left is reserving its rights to dispute any 2024 election procedure, real or imagined, and the election of Mr. Trump.

Consider:

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democrats in the Obama administration colluded with the Clinton campaign’s partisans to launch the Russiagate lie that Mr. Trump was a pawn of Vladimir Putin. After Mr. Trump won the election, the Russiagate lie was used to falsely discredit his election and subvert his presidency through baseless investigations by a politically weaponized federal bureaucracy. All the while, after they took time off for grief counseling, Democrats took to the streets and declared they were the “Resistance” to the duly elected President Trump.

Until just a few elections ago Nevada used to be considered run by “bossism.”
But lately the workers the bosses give rides to polling places have been voting for other-than-the-approved list.
So now, these same workers will have to CLOCK OUT and drive themselves to their polling places in an effort to stifle their votes.
So, pay attention to how Nevada goes this time.

Trump skipped his morning intelligence briefings for 4 years.

The Top Secret Russian intelligence documents that filled the empty folder recovered by the FBI from a Mar-a-Lago bathroom have never been found.

Source, besides your asshole.

Campaigns Battle in Pennsylvania Saturday: Trump Rally in Butler, Jill Biden in Pittsburgh, Kamala Harris in Philadelphia; While Joe Biden Rests at Delaware Beach House

No, he didn’t. Why hasn’t Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden had a cabinet meeting in over 9 months? You mean they never found the documents that were never in the folders the FBI planted? OMG!!!

Bidens memory is so bad he cant remember a thing

Basically, what Democrats are saying is, “We’re going to cheat and win. It’s in the bag. Will you accept the results?” Funny, since they are already planning in the House to contest and try to overturn a Trump victory.
