How do you define yourself? If some people had their way, we would be defined and judged by our choices in the voting booth. Five minutes on Election Day would determine how society sees you. If your choice for office were considered a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic crook, you are considered to share their values. Otherwise, how could you vote for them?
This is exactly how the left sees anyone who voted for Trump and other Republican supporters. “Orange Man Bad” equals his supporters being bad too. If you voted for the guy, you must share his values. The fact that an increasing number of voices on the left are calling for some form of retribution (“reprogramming”, Truth and Reconciliation commissions, etc.) Is especially disturbing. We are hearing calls for unity but apparently, that unity can only be achieved by forcing the losers to conform to the winners ideals and agenda. That is the unity of Tyranny.
What we are seeing now is an increasing push by the Left to stifle opposition. Even though they won (or stole, depending on your point of view) the election, the Left still insists on persecuting the former President. The coming impeachment trial is meant to send a clear message: outsiders are not welcome in DC and will be dealt with. The Democrats own the White House, have a majority in the House and own the tiebreaker in the Senate, yet they are intent on wasting time and tax dollars to destroy the political future of one man. Why? I believe there is only one real explanation: Donald Trump scared the hell out of the Washington establishment and deep state. He shocked everyone by even winning the nomination and then defeated Hillary Clinton, the Democrats chosen leader. Now, that Trump is out of office, they want to send a message to anyone who thinks they can duplicate his accomplishment: don’t try it.
My reasons for saying this are the fact that the Democrats aren’t satisfied with removing Trump as a political threat. They are also trying to cancel any Representative or Senator who supported his challenge to the Electoral College results. Democrats are on record calling those who supported the challenge traitors and insurrectionists, and seek to expel them as such. The evidence is all around us. Nancy Pelosi stating that the “enemy is within the House”, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accusing Ted Cruz of attempted murder and demanding his resignation or expulsion from the Senate, Katie Couric asking “how can we deprogram over 75 million Trump voters”, and even the Cosmetics company Sephora severing ties with a popular Instagram and U-Tube influencer because someone complained about them being a Trump supporter. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sited are banning and censoring anyone who spreads what they call “misinformation”, which really amounts to disputing the narrative of the left. Tech giants such as Apple, Google and Amazon, to name a few, are actively working to suppress and deplatform opposition to the Leftist agenda.
If the Democrats are so convinced that they are on the side of right, why are they behaving like dictators who fear a loss of their power and control? As we speak, President Biden has signed so many Executive Orders he must have writers cramp, attempting to overturn all President Trump accomplished. These orders bypass Congress and circumvent our Constitutional right to have a say in our Government. The end result will be the enactment of an agenda that controls almost every aspect of your life. Bureaucrats in Washington will have more of a say about your Healthcare, job, housing, even what you eat and what you can say, than you do. Is this what you really want? Do you want some bureaucrat in Washington to set your identity for you? I don’t, but that’s where we are headed.
God Bless America and keep your powder dry.
