Will Americans Keep Their Democratic Republic or Fall into Tyranny?

Democrats as a group accuse former President Donald Trump of being a threat to democracy. Yet, Democrats are the very people who are seeking to pack the Supreme Court and change the Bill of Rights. The people who are shrieking about democracy being destroyed are the ones who are seeking to strengthen their own power by destroying the Constitution. Jarrett Stepman at The Daily Signal, authored the following thoughts. 

In just the past few weeks, we’ve seen celebrities and even major political figures on the Left openly call for tyranny. They no longer bother to hide it.

The same people who insinuate that former President Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans” long for dictatorship and are “existential threats to democracy” are seemingly eager to tell anyone who will listen that the answer to our problems is stripping citizens of their God-given rights and telling them what to think.

Democratic politicians with real access to power also have been cavalierly demanding the removal of roadblocks to one-party rule and are eagerly using the power of the state to punish their political opponents for wrongthink.

Last Wednesday, former Secretary of State John Kerry said the quiet part out loud at a World Economic Forum panel discussion on green energy, where he fretted over the state of “democracies.”

He lamented the fact that the United States has this icky thing called the First Amendment that protects the right of free speech, making it a lot harder for global elites to filter information they don’t like.

“You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc.,” Kerry said at the WEF, referring to social media platforms.

But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.

You can listen to John Kerry’s nonsense for yourself here, but he is not the only Democrat voicing a desire to change the Constitution. Stepman shared the following information about Hillary Clinton. 

… A few weeks ago, another former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, suggested that people who amplify disinformation about Russia should be arrested. O, the irony. Where the Clintons and Kerrys of the world could, for a time, rely on institutions to suffocate any idea they deemed verboten, now average citizens can seek the truth without strict institutional filters. And they have reason to do so, given how many of those institutions in recent years have proved to be hopelessly ideological and untrustworthy.

Instead of a mea culpa, the institutions and the people who control them want to double down on their power. They want to arbitrarily force people to accept what they say as truth and to stamp out any resistance to their power.

It’s they who want dictatorship, but one with the soothing sound of a certain kind of consensus, uniparty liberalism that they feel comfortable with.

And they are so confident in their iron grip over society that they are willing to go on TV and tell you that they plan to silence you and tear down constitutional government to get their way. Don’t you dare squawk about it. “Tone down the rhetoric,” they say.

But these liberal Democrats are neither liberal, nor democratic. It’s they who are bringing “fascism” and dictatorship to America.

It is bewildering to many conservatives to hear the words of leftists like Clinton and Kerry, recognize what their words mean, and still watch half of Americans support them.

After the devastation wrought by the Biden-Harris administration over the past four years, why is the current presidential election so close. Are Americans so blinded by hatred for Trump that they cannot see the difference between the Trump administration and the Biden-Harris administration? Do they hate Trump so much that they will willingly give up their freedoms for the false promises of Harris?

I know numerous intelligence people who will vote for Harris. The only answer that I can see is that they are blinded by hate and cannot see truth. I pray that enough Americans will recognize truth to save America from tyranny.
