The Dems Plan to Steal the Presidency
2020-09-05
[American Thinker] It comes as a stark and frightening realization that the Democrats are not the idiots they appear to be. Stark, because they tried to use the Steele Dossier, a folder full of ridiculous and easily debunked rumor and imaginative narrative, to at first steal an election and then, depose a president. And they are now trying to convince Americans that "law and order" Trump, who has decried the riots from the beginning and offered federal support to Democrat-run cities and states to stop them, is somehow now responsible for all the destruction and violence. It is obvious they think Americans are the stupid ones.

It is frightening because the realization comes with an understanding that the Democrats have a many-faceted plan to steal the Presidential Election, now less than two months away.

They tried everything in Trump’s first term, from the aforementioned dossier to the "phone call" impeachment. None of it worked. Then, the disease from the despicable Chinese befell America. It was a tragedy for America but a stroke of luck for Democrats.

They have used the pandemic to so frighten the nation into serial semi-permanent shutdowns intended to so immiserate Americans through the destroyed economy as to cost Trump the election. And mephitic Dems have tried to blame their intention to maintain perpetual lockdowns on Trump’s mismanagement of COVID.

The rioting was another fortuitous opportunity for Dems. With the coopting of the BLAME (Black, Latin, Antifa, and Minority Excluded) agenda as their own, they hoped to keep support for the rioting high enough to continue through the election, thereby allowing the Dems to use the rioters as stormtroopers at the polls in November to deny Trump voters their right to vote. Of course, they mistook sympathy for a cause as support for the violence and destruction and are only now coming to the epiphany that would seem to have obvious non-epiphany status to non-morons: People don’t like their lives, families, property, and livelihoods threatened by violent anarchists who will never be pleased no how much they are given.

Oh... and Americans as a group are loath to surrender to outsiders breaking and burning their stuff as they prosecute bodily harm to their loved ones. And now that the polls are turning against the rioters, it may seem idiotic that the Dems are trying to blame Trump for the riotous havoc laying waste to our cities they have fomented and excused for months, if not years.

Yet, it is all part of their plan.

#32   The Dems have been trying to steal the presidency since Hilda

Since the Al Gore recount in Florida in 2000. They lost that one, too.

#30  You know how every political assassination comes from the left.
It takes a lot to make the right do that sort of thing, blatantly stealing an election will change that dynamic..

#29  So we're doomed to ugly things happening no matter what.

Barring something unforeseen, unfortunately, is the consensus of my campfire crew.

However, I have been making the case that a Biden/whoever win would be worse by legitimizing the current tactics, basically confirming the civil insurrection as a valid tactic, along with all the tactics.

#21  #16 We're just kind of in a foul mood lately, grom. But underneath all the multiple layers of BS and meth addiction even the most hardcore Antifas are pretty sure they woke up in the greatest country in the world. If I went to a BLM "protest" with a stack of mostly peaceful Chinese passports I couldn't give them away.

Average.
Average? How so?
Worse than yesterday, but better than tomorrow. So on the whole, average.

#18  What I like about you Americans is your unshakable optimism.

Optimism, Russian & Israeli variant:
"Don't worry-- it can always get worse"
"Life is not sugar."
"What one has, one doesn't want. What one wants, one doesn't have."

Anyone who pays attention and has even a modicum of knowledge of human nature and history can understand the difference between the dumb muscle and the smart string-pullers.

Some "thinker" this writer is.

#14  So they'll either steal the election or leverage defeat into policy wins that ensure permanent totalitarian power down the line, as they've done in the past.

Which can only be done with the active cooperation of the GOPe.

So we're doomed to ugly things happening no matter what.

#10  But wait - there's more!

Here's Democrat John Podesta's civil war game Scenario #3:

This scenario is a clear and convincing Trump win i.e. Trump wins the Electoral College and the popular vote. Hers the NYT account of Podesta's simulation of what the Biden team would do in this event:

SCENARIO 3 - SIMULATION per JOHN PODESTA

NYT:
'The [simulated] Biden campaign encouraged Western states, particularly California but also Oregon and Washington and collectively known as “Cascadia” to secede from the union unless Congressional Republicans agreed to a set of structural reforms to fix our democratic system to ensure majority rule.'

'With advice from President Obama, the Biden Campaign submitted a proposal to 1) give statehood to Washington, DC and Puerto Rico; 2) divide California into five states to more accurately represent the population in the Senate; 3) require Supreme Court Justices retire at 70; and 4) eliminate the Electoral College, to ensure the candidate who wins the popular vote…’

‘One of the most consequential moves was that Team Biden on January 6 provoked a breakdown in the joint session of Congress by getting the House of Representatives to agree to award the presidency to Biden (based on the alternative pro-Biden submissions sent by pro-Biden governors.) Pence and the GOP refused to accept this, declaring instead that Trump was re-elected under the Constitution because of his Electoral College victory. This partisan division remained unresolved because neither side backed down, and January 20 arrived without a single president-elect entitled to be Commander-in-Chief after noon that day. It was unclear what the military would do in this situation.’

#9  ^ ... and actual role-play simulations in which Hillary's former campaign manager, playing the role of Biden, war-gamed a new Civil War in which the Democrat alleged vote suppression and instigated the secession of Cali, OR and WA.

Not Bee:

"Mr Podesta, playing Mr Biden, shocked the organizers by saying he felt his party wouldn’t let him concede. Alleging voter suppression, he persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro-Biden electors to the Electoral College.

"that scenario, California, Oregon, and Washington then threatened to secede from the United States if Mr Trump took office as planned."

#6  How will we know who won the election? For most of us the result will be what the MSM announces. That's the same MSM who were absolutely humiliated in 2016 by having to announce Hillary losing.

#5  The Dems have been trying to steal the presidency since Hilda got butt-hurt over the last election. What a bunch of tantrum-throwing cry babies. There were:

1. Bimbo claims that went away.
2. Faked Dossier and Russian prostitute golden shower claims that went away.
3. Mueller investigation based on faked claims.
4. Impeachment based on faked claims.
5. Riots in the streets.
6. CV-19 hullaballoo and shutdowns.
7. Numerous other harassing B.S..
