Democrats need to learn a lesson
To the Editor:
Millions of people tuned in to the debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on June 27. What did we see? No one could deny that we saw a president clearly diminished cognitively.
There were many who were not surprised because they had not insulated themselves in a bubble of denial spun by the likes of the mainstream media, those who had been going on about how Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack.”
What we also saw was the rank dishonesty of the media. After years of downplaying any reports or videos of his decline, attacking them as partisan hits or disinformation or cheap fakes, are we to believe that they were suddenly taken by surprise as, undoubtedly, those who consumed their product were? Oh no, they knew! The Democrat Party knew. The press was their Praetorian Guard and they thought they could get away with it and drag feeble Joe across the finish line. However, they got caught, and at a very inconvenient time. It may be that they are stuck with Kamala Harris to replace him, which is poetic justice for having her as a DEI selection in the first place.
What are thinking people to do with this knowledge? Even in the best of times we should not accept “The Big Con” as a proper way of governing, but, having volatility around the globe we can even less afford to indulge those who treat us as fools. The Democrat Party has been described by David Sacks as a collection of interests whose goal is to stay in power in order to loot the republic by rewarding favored constituencies with government largesse while being protected by their lackeys in the media.
The Democrat Party is anything but and needs to be thoroughly repudiated at the polls. If Donald Trump wins, it should be accepted, unlike what happened in 2016. This is what happens in a real democracy, not “our democracy” which is code for one-party Democrat rule in perpetuity. The party needs to be destroyed in order to save it. Maybe out of the shattered remnants a sane party in opposition to the Republicans can emerge. It is not healthy for extended one-party rule due to the unfortunate corruption of human nature. Democrats, take your lumps, learn to lose gracefully, and purge the radical, hateful and mentally ill elements, and let them go their own way and get the help they need. We will all be better off for it.
