I’m reminded of the proverb “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” Seems republicans are getting giddy over the mid-term prospects for their capturing the House and Senate. They contend the more the left screws things up like defunding the police while ignoring crime spiking under their very noses, printing money and distributing it like candy, and putting our country in harm’s way with our adversaries, the more voters will flock to Republicans. Those who fall prey to this line of thinking are ignoring what is really happening.
The Democrat party is run by radical revolutionaries. Nothing is sacrosanct to them including the Constitution. They aren’t fearful of the next election because they will own it. The posturing around the filibuster, packing the court and the already ginned up legislation to assure one-party rule are their bulwarks against sanity in voting. Their plan is clear as day; pass HR1/S1. That legislation will open the spigots for all kinds of mischievous and never yield a “free and fair” election.
In order to get this unconstitutional law through both houses, they will need to first kill the filibuster. Failing that, they will grant state hood to DC, assign two new Democrat Senators and try again. Not enough? Add Puerto Rico, even if Puerto Ricans don’t want to be a state, and make another run. Maybe they’ll pass it by invoking some new Senate rules and have it go to the Supreme Court but first, they need a friendly court. One that uses the current headlines to determine the constitutionality of such a law. Hence the effort to add 4 new justices. Mind you, all of this is taking place as I type.
So, you smug Republicans, better think twice if you think you’re in a knife fight for 2022. You’re in a shooting war right now and you had better find a way to thwart all of the above or watch your own demise and that of our country.
