Biden and the Democrats ‘wrecking democracy’ as they go after Trump, who keeps getting stronger

Democrats talking about saving democracy sound like the military during the Vietnam War.

That was when a famous, or infamous, quote during the 1968 Tet Offensive, in which the Viet Cong took over a contested town, made its way to the American people.

“It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,” a U.S. Army major told New Zealander Peter Arnett of the Associated Press, a fellow reporter I met as a newcomer in Saigon.

The seasoned war correspondent worked for the AP when, unlike today, the news agency was respected for its objectivity, accuracy, and balance.

Reporters later reworked the quote to read: “We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”

Today, considering the latest progressive Democrat assault on Donald Trump and democracy in the U.S., either quote would do. But it would come out this way: “We had to destroy democracy in order to save it.”

That is what Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing to democracy and the country in their dictatorial, scorched earth attempt to keep Trump, the frontrunning presidential candidate, from returning to the White House.

And they are reaching back to the Civil War to produce the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that banned Confederate rebel “insurrectionists” from holding public office. In the process, they use crazy talk to turn the Jan. 6 Capitol riot into an attempt, supported by Trump, to overthrow the U.S. government and keep him in power.

It is not working because every time the Democrats distort reality and corrupt the legal process to go after Trump, the former president gets stronger, rises in the polls, raises more campaign money and attracts more Americans to his cause.

Which is why Democrats do not even want him on the ballot, as the Hail Mary phony Jan. 6 “insurrectionist” decision kicking him off the ballot in Colorado by four appointed Democrat judges last week showed. In the process, they turned Colorado into a banana republic without the bananas.

The U.S. Supreme Court cannot negate this ruling fast enough, which it surely will.

If the president of Mexico or Guatemala did this to a presidential challenger in their countries, the U.S. would at least be imposing sanctions as punishment.

In December 1989, President George H.W. Bush ordered the invasion of Panama to oust dictator Gen. Manuel Noriega, an indicted drug trafficker, after he refused to leave office following his defeat for reelection by his opponent Guillermo Endara. The U.S. lost 23 soldiers and two civilians in that invasion, while the Panama Defense Force had 314 men killed along with 202 civilians.

Under the Biden administration, the president is more likely to award the Colorado judges with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian award.

And as the Biden and the Democrats seek to wreck Trump one way or another, they are wrecking democracy as well, all the while putting the blame on Trump. It is called projection — you blame others for what you are doing to them.

The Democrats rightly fear that Trump will defeat a feeble and confused Joe Biden so they are, one devious way or another, trying to strip him of his right to run for president no matter the consequences. They are also seeking to strip the right of American citizens to vote for him.

Biden, staring defeat at the hands of Trump, relishes the thought of Trump being kicked off the ballot. He said it was “self-evident” that Trump, supported an “insurrection” against the United States. “No question about it. None Zero.”

Were he not an empty suit, Biden, in the interest of preserving democracy, would trash the Colorado decision and defend the right of Americans to choose the next president. By mocking Trump, he mocks them.
