The Democrats are the saviors of democracy, as we all know, whether democracy needs to be saved or not, or even if we are a democracy (we are not).
[Bit of a quibble, but we are a “representative republic,” not a democracy. This always irks me. We have three co-equal branches of government with a bi-cameral legislative branch. We elect representatives and we have this unique self-leveling mechanism known as the Electoral College, brilliant bit of kit from the Founding Fathers.]
Anyway, back to the saviors of democracy.
So, what happened, Big Red Car?
The Dem elites — the powers behind the throne (Obama and that bunch), the entertainment elites (George Clooney and that bunch), the Lame Street Media, and, most importantly, the guys who write the biiiiiiiiiiiiig checks, the funders — after watching Biden’s debate v Trump meltdown decided they could no longer prop up the obviously cognitively compromised Biden any longer.
So, the Dem elites “resigned” him and he “passed the torch.” Haha, yes that’s what happened.
The Dem elites threw out the results of the Dem primaries — a wildly democratic move, clearly justified by saving democracy — and passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris in his place.
Cackling Kamala, “It’s me, baby. I got the torch!”
What really happened, Big Red Car?
OK, you got me. Here’s what happened.
1. The Dems have been unable to get this Trump fellow committed to jail, bankrupt him, or muddy him up enough to knock him out of the 2024 election. Hats off, they made a damn good try.
2. Joe Biden has been a particularly ineffective and dangerous president resulting in an abysmal level of approval and popularity.
3. Joe Biden has been in cognitive decline — dementia — since Inauguration Day. The world found out he’d been propped up after the debate v Trump.
4. Joe Biden’s polling numbers went into the toilet.
5. Barack Obama decided Joe Biden could not possibly be re-elected, and, worse, he was going to pull down the entire Dem ticket delivering the Senate and House to the Republicans.
So, the Dem elites did what all “saviors of democracy” do — they suspended the cumulative wishes of 15MM Dem voters who voted for Joe Biden and anointed VP Kamala Harris in his place. Boom!
To put a spritz of perfume on the whole thing, the Dems elites had Joe Biden formally resign.
There is, of course, no provision for such a democratic decapitation in the Dem primary rules, the Dem nominating process, or the Dem convention. They just did it, well, because they had to “save democracy.”
As Vietnam instructed us, sometimes you have to destroy the village to save it. The Dem elites had to throttle democracy, kill it, to save it.
How does this play out, Big Red Car?
We’ve seen this movie before.
1. The Dems will all be “excited” and “energized” by the appointment of VP Kamala Harris by the Dem elites. Compared to Joe Biden and his cognitive decline, she is sort of exciting in an equally creepy sort of way.
2. Kamala will be a breath of fresh air from the Nascar-wreck-at-the-turn, breathless wonder of WTF will Joe Biden say now.
We traded cognitive decline for garden variety California liberal and that annoying cackle.
3. The Dem money will start to flow again. Big time, baby.
4. Post Democrat Convention, Kamala will get a nice bounce and the race will seem to tighten after Trump had a commanding lead over Joe Biden and in the battleground states.
5. And, then, we will begin to recognize that Senator Kamala Harris was far to the left of Bernie Sanders, that she is a California liberal, that she is a police defunder, and soft on crime including cashless bail.
We will learn she was the Border Czar who never visited the border. [The MSM will begin to deny Kamala was the Border Czar. You wait.]
We will learn that the Jamaica branch of her family used to own slaves.
6. If she is smart — jury still out on that — she will appoint a Vice President who can bring a state like Arizona or Pennsylvania.
7. After Labor Day — as it always does — the race will tighten and Kamala’s liberal record will be examined in great detail.
Bottom line it, Big Red Car
OK, here it is, dear readers.
The race will seem to tighten by throwing Kamala into the chowder.
Kamala will be exposed as the California ultra liberal she is.
Trump will win in cakewalk, but he is going to have to campaign vigorously and be restrained.
But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car.
