economicnoise | Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t
settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that
elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue
here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but
accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting
election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from
office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But
it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican
president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The
Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican
president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any
election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers
of power in this country are determined by elections.
That’s a civil war.
There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to
kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the
Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement. You can hate the other
party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the
country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you
consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what
you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to
Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s
inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the
White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country
through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge
issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t
scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war.
