Democrats repeatedly claim the need to protect democracy.
For example, President Joe Biden remarked in December that "the greatest threat [Donald Trump] poses is to our democracy," and "If we lose that, we lose everything."
In October of last year, when U.S. House Republicans were attempting to elect a new speaker, former House Speaker and California Democrat Nancy Pelosi claimed that the voting process that took place "today and yesterday . . . was an assault on our democracy."
But Democrats hate democracy, and so does legacy media.
The Washington Post ran a column written by Ruth Marcus Friday headlined, "Slowpoke federal appeals court puts 2024 election in jeopardy."
Many Republicans might agree. The GOP frontrunner’s time is spent defending himself at a string of federal and state criminal and civil trials, when he should be campaigning.
And when delegates at the 2024 Republican National Convention presumably nominate Trump to be their standard bearer in mid-July, the trials will really begin heating up as Election Day draws closer.
But that wasn’t Marcus’ argument. She groused that the appeals process was taking too long to rule on Trump’s assertion of immunity in the federal case alleging that he’d plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
She called Trump’s appeals "gamesmanship."
"But both the appeals court and the Supreme Court have mechanisms to frustrate this kind of gamesmanship," she concluded. "Justice has been delayed enough already."
Since the Marcus column, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled against Trump.
He plans to appeal — either to the full D.C. Circuit for reconsideration or the U.S. Supreme Court.
Matt Kittle, senior elections correspondent for The Federalist, saw what was really going on here.
"Marcus is telling us what we should already know," Kittle said, "The left’s success depends on getting rid of Donald Trump, and the only way to do that is to put him in jail. Marcus and friends are growing frustrated — and impatient — that the plan is getting bogged down by justice."
Bingo!
For all their claims that they’re defending "our democracy," they want nothing less than a one-party rule — not a multi-party governance — with the Democrats being that "one" party.
The purpose of the lawsuits aren’t to seek justice; they’re to prevent half the people from voting for their preferred candidate.
Poll after poll puts Trump ahead of Biden, and the most recent indicator is the most telling — and it’s not even a poll — it’s a campaign finance report.
While Biden surpasses Trump in large donations from mega-donors like George Soros, federal data reveals that Trump is "crushing Biden" where it counts — in the number of small-dollar donations below $200.
And a huge reason for Trump’s popularity is Biden’s open border policy, according Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas.
"If they're looking at the same polls I've been looking at, the American public doesn't like what's happening," Cuellar said.
"I represent an area where it's almost 80% Hispanic, a lot of Democrats," he added. "So, yeah, the polls are showing that it's an important issue."
And he even warned Biden: "It’s in the president’s best interest politically to come up with a solution on border security."
That was last month. Since then Biden has been promoting a Senate bill that purports to address the flood of illegal immigrants, but actually normalizes it.
So why not just throw up a wall and seal the border?
Tech entrepreneur and former liberal Elon Musk revealed Friday what he believes Biden’s strategy is.
He referred to an AP report that Biden intends to prioritize legal status for millions of immigrants, and said he then intended to:
1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.
2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority — a one-party state.
“That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration," Musk concluded. "Simple, yet effective."
Think it can’t be done?
Musk added this Monday," Many states automatically register anyone with a driver’s license to vote (no citizenship verification), ballots are then mailed out and ‘ballot harvesters’ pick them up mail them in, making fraud traceability impossible."
It’s called motor voter registration, and Pennsylvania became the 24th state to approve it in September.
For all their whining about protecting "our democracy," Democrats aren’t very democratic. Only dictatorships arrest and jail their political opponents. Only dictatorships try to create one-party rule.
One of the most memorable lines in "The Princess Bride," a movie filled with memorable lines, was delivered by Inigo Montoya after Vizzini shouts "inconceivable!" for the umpteenth time: "You keep using that word,” Montoya tells Vizzini. "I do not think it means what you think it means."
Same with Democrats and "democracy": They keep using that word, but I do not think it means what they think it means.
