If Trump wins in November, expect a real insurrection from Democrats
The Democratic Party
The reaction by Democratic Party politicians and pundits to the Supreme Court ruling on March 4, 2024 — voiding the effort by Colorado to throw Donald Trump off its ballot — reveals some very fundamental realities that must be faced by all Americans. To put it bluntly: These Democrats have no intention of accepting a victory by Donald Trump in the upcoming election, even if he should win by a majority so vast that no amount of election rigging can disguise it.
The first reaction to that decision was a major tell. Jean Griswold is the secretary of state of Colorado who had taken Trump off the ballot, claiming he was an insurrectionist even though that was merely her opinion as Trump has not only never been convicted of that crime, he has not even been charged with it. Immediately after the court rejected her actions unanimously, she tweeted the following:
I am disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision stripping states of the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates. Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrections from our ballot.
Spurred by her blind hatred of Trump, Griswold’s refusal to deal with reality here is disturbing, to say the least. First, the court made it very clear, unanimously, that the states don’t have this authority when it comes to federal elections. That she as a lawyer could not recognize the plain legal arguments here that were agreed to by even the most radical leftists on the court indicates how blind she has become to reasonable disagreement.
Second, Griswold clearly thinks she by herself, based on nothing but her opinion, has the right to determine who is or is not an insurrectionist. In a country where by law and a very long tradition all people are innocent until proven guilty, by what law does she think she has that right?
The bottom line is that Griswold reveals the mindset of the Democrat Party. They are mentally unprepared to accept a Trump election victory, no matter what, and will do anything to block his victory.
This mindset is further revealed by this CNN article published today, attempting to figure out other ways in which the Democrats can block a victory by Trump.
If Trump wins the election, that theory goes, Democrats might attempt to disqualify him before electoral votes are counted in January 2025 during the same once-perfunctory process that pro-Trump rioters interrupted when they attacked the US Capitol in 2021.
Political pressure to do so would likely swell if Trump is convicted in any of the four criminal cases pending against him – especially with the timeline of his federal election subversion trial increasingly bumping up against the November election.
…Some saw ambiguity in the [Supreme Court’s] opinion – and the possibility of a constitutional showdown. “The opinion is unclear on what happens after the election if Trump wins,” said Gerard Magliocca, law professor at Indiana University and one of the nation’s top experts on the ban and who supported Trump’s disqualification. “At best, it’s unclear,” he said. “And therefore, if Trump wins, people are going to try these things. And it just makes the presidential transition – if Trump wins – more complicated, unpleasant and problematic than it needed to be.”
Bluntly put, leftist lawyers like Magliocca fully intend to work with Congressional Democrat to prepare new tactics, ready to go in November, should vote rigging fail to block a Trump victory.
This leftist team effort was immediately apparent the very day of the Supreme Court ruling, when Democrats in Congress made it clear they are already putting together legislation to cancel a Trump win.
Representative Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, on Monday said he’s working with colleagues on legislation that could bar someone who committed insurrection from holding office. Raskin made the announcement after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that former President Donald Trump should appear on the primary ballot in states that have challenged his presidential candidacy.
“”I’m working with a number of my colleagues—including [Democratic Representatives] Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell—to revive legislation…to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment,” Raskin said during an appearance on CNN.
It is unlikely this legislation could pass the House, but that these Democrats began push for it immediately once again illustrates their utter unwillingness to accept the will of the voters. These politicians plan to do whatever they can to stop Trump, even if he wins.
And based on present polls, a Trump victory would have been considered guaranteed in the world that once existed prior to 2020. Then, any time an incumbant failed to get more than 50% support in a poll, the political class considered that elected official in serious trouble. Biden is not only not getting 50% support, he actually trails Trump now in the polls. On top of that, support for Biden among previously guaranteed voting blocks, blacks and hispanics, has plummeted.
With these numbers Democrats in the past would have been scrambling to find someone to replace Biden, and would have been doing so for months. Today, the Democrats have instead been scrambling to find ways to prevent anyone from beating Biden. They not only are attempting to disqualify the Republican choice, Trump, but have taken action to prevent any other Democrat, such as Robert F. Kennedy, from challenging Biden in their own primaries.
All these tells us that we should be prepared for some crazy times come November. All the traditional signs right now point to an easy win for Trump. All the present signs however suggest the Democrats will not accept that victory, should it happen.
