Why the GOP let the Democrats steal the election


  

Radical left wing historian Will Durant once pointed out that democratic elections simply provide cover for a power struggled between the politically elite, giving legitimacy to a process that has nothing to do with Democracy.

In other words, there is no such thing as an honest election. The wider the margin of victory the more legitimate the election appears.

Elections, no matter how dishonest, tend to be better than the alternative means of securing power, violent revolution or insurrection.

Elections lulled the general public into believing everyday people choose their leaders, when in fact, the change of power is predetermined and the real decisions are made by a power elite, who often trade off leadership between the prevailing political parties, each hiding their lust for power behind ideologies nobody but the most gullible actually believe.

Once in a great while a candidate rises to power whose political base is made up of real people. Such characters are populist and threaten to expose the behind-the-scenes game the two parties play.

Nothing is more of a threat to the power elite than a man or woman who owes no allegiance to one of these phony parties.

This is why both parties’ team up to destroy him.

After more than a century honoring an unspoken agree to take turns in control, the last thing the power elite needs is someone who appears to have won an election legitimately.

After the Democrats managed to destroy Richard Nixon in the early 1970s, there was a brief period of dishevel as Reagan took over the GOP and took advantage of turmoil in the Democratic Party to narrowly beat incumbent Carter in 1980, after which the change of power followed the predictable pattern, Clinton beating the first George Bush with the help of a spoiler (the way Democrats had hoped to have Humphry beat Nixon in 1968 by having George Wallace – a Democrat – run).

Democrats hoped to extend their control over the country by Having Gore beat the second George Bush – who won with the help of a Reagan appointed U.S. Supreme Court (Something Trump later hoped to do in the 2020 election but could not win the court over to his side.)

Obama was preordained to replace Bush with a deal to make Hillary president after him, the first woman replacing the first black, with Hillary most likely being allowed to serve for only one term.

Then came Trump who used a populist platform to break up the game.

Even the GOP tried to stop him, reluctantly accepting him when he won the nomination, assuming he could not bear Hillary anyway as the GOP buckled down to find a candidate go later opposed Hillary the Democrats would tolerate.

No one was more shocked by Trump’s victory than the GOP or more threatened when they learn he actually intended to break up the political love fest between the two parties.

The GOP could not overtly work against the standard bearer of their party so appears to have turned a blind eye to moves Democrats made, such as the constant use of media to discredit him. The GOP could not stop Democratic states from using COVID to crash the national economy – which if left intact almost guaranteed a Trump reelection. The GOP also seemed to turn a blind eye to the fact that some prominent Democrats such as Hillary and Pelosi had invested in a software company used to count the votes in critical states for the 2020 election. Most likely, the GOP did not know about Hillary spying on Trump while he was president or the fake materials the Democrats used to falsely accuse Trump in the Russia conclusion fiasco – which is they the attempt to impeach him twice failed. It was just too blatant a power grab even the GOP couldn’t tolerate.

Yet aside from Trump loyalists, few in the GOP raised al stink when Democrats appeared to have stolen the election with some prominent mainstream Republicans – such as Pence – standing on the sidelines to let Democrats crucify Trump to allow everybody to get back to the power sharing game.

Then came the Jan 6 protest that threatened to expose the whole dishonest relationship.

Desperate people in both parties needed to discredit the protest. And set up a sham Jan 6 Committee to investigate and prosecute Trump and his followers. But the committee only included GOP who openly hated Trump.

The committee was designed from the start to damage Trump enough to prevent him from every again becoming president.

It's Back to World War II all over again

   When Marty and Doc Brown plunged back in time in their silver DeLorean, they apparently overshot 1955 and wound up in 1941 instead. We wake up this morning not just to the good old days of the Cold War, but to those days when people were fleeing places like Paris ahead of the arrival of the Nazi tanks. And it’s not completely clear how we got here. Liberal media is blaming Trump as it usually does for every major disaster dating back to when Adam and Eve got tossed out of Eden. Media’s role is to blame Trump for everything hoping enough of it will stick so he can’t run for reelection in 2024. Despite the phony Russia gate some liberals still cling to even after it has been proven it was a dirty trick orchestrated by the campaign for Hillary Clinton, liberals can’t quite pin the invasion of Ukraine on Trump – which pisses them off royally – since Putin waited a whole year to make his move. Even the ever-pro Democratic New York Times and Washington Post are stru...

Fake news about Ukraine

Image
    Media is bending over backwards to build a David and Goliath story when it comes to Ukraine, desperate to create the illusion of noble patriots fighting against Darth Vader Putin and the evil empire. They paint the president of Ukraine into a charismatic character who like Luke Skywalker will stand up against Russian invasion with or without help from the west. Media is telling us lies about how armed citizens are holding back the hordes, mostly artists and others who have been given guns, and that this is the reason why the Russians are taking so long to overrun the country. Media tells us the lie about Putin being enraged by the length of time it is taking, when nothing could be further from the truth. More than one political observer has blamed media for the war, hyping it up with false information as well as phony hyperbole. Farmers and artists with guns are not holding back the Russian Army as media is telling us. The Russians could take over Ukraine in a ...

Ukraine will lose if the west doesn’t intervene

  It is difficult to tell which side is winning the war with the massive misinformation campaign being waged in the west. Ukraine makes up stuff as it goes along posting often complete distortions so one comes to believe they are fighting a field of dreams conflict, relying on the hope if they say it often enough it will come true. They need to convince the US, EU and others they can hold off the Russians while at the same time pray the west will intervene on their behalf. This duality suggests they know they are losing and are in desperate need of Devine intervention. The fact that people are fleeing Ukraine by the millions adds evidence to this. Yes, they have slowed the Russian advance but at a great cost. Winning a war is about attrition. The side with the most resources generally wins. The Persian gulf wars also showed control of the air is the ultimate advantage While Russia is losing as much Ukraine, it has more to lose. And while less motivated than the Ukrain...
