View from the Right: The Democrat party passing fictions as truths – Norwich Bulletin

What does a ruling political party do when everything is going wrong and popular support is tanking? Divert the publics attention by creating a bogeyman, of course. Thats the strategy of the struggling Democrat regime, led by a man who realized his life-long presidential ambition only after losing the mental acuity needed to do the job.

President Joe Biden boasted he would shut down the virus last spring; instead, COVID-19fatalities during Bidens first year in office, with vaccines available, exceeded the total reached under President Trump without vaccines. Bidens over-confidence likely contributed to the COVID test shortages that continue to hamper our response to the Omicron variant.

With Omicron just beginning to percolate, things started rapidly deteriorating for Democrats during the Afghanistan debacle last summer. Weak-minded but still headstrong, Biden disregarded the advice of his generals. He set a firm pullout date so the last Americans would leave by the 20th anniversary of 9-11, no doubt imagining himself giving an historic Rose Garden speech marking the end of Americas longest war. Instead, Afghanistan ended as Americas greatest foreign policy embarrassment since the evacuation of Saigon.

Then Democrats brought back an old enemy. Trillions in borrowed federal spending, with the prospect of far more under Build Back Better, created a supply/demand imbalance that opened the door to inflation. By winter, the inflation rate was higher than it been in 40 years, eating away the real wage gains Americans had enjoyed during the Trump presidency. Biden and his party first dismissed price increases as a temporary condition, and when real inflation became undeniable they cast it as proof of prosperity. America winced.

Biden opened the southern border to 2 million new illegal migrants, shipping thousands of them with COVID all over the country while demonizing Americans who declined vaccination. The double-standard didnt sell well.

During a recent rambling two-hour press conference, Biden gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a virtual green light to invade Ukraine, leaving his staff to clean up the mess. Democrats and the president embraced defunding and reimagining police work, and now lawlessness rages in many urban areas.

With failures and foolishness weighing down the party, Democrats have created some fearsome diversionary mirages, relying on their minions in the media and the Deep State to inflate them in the public mind.

Chief among them is the fiction, grounded on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, that supporters of former President Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government of the United States, and that they intend to try again. This casts any opposition to the Democrat Party as terrorist, white supremacist, and treasonous. Defining Jan. 6 as an insurrection is also an effort to rally disillusioned Democrats with a nightmare vision of a Hitlerian ex-president, backed by an army of Second Amendment brownshirts, marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to reclaim power.

Americans have seen the videos taken during the Jan. 6 riot. That visual record shows that if Jan. 6 were a conspiracy to overthrow the government, as Democrats would have us believe, the country has little to fear. The only person shot (and killed) was an unarmed woman rioter, and the only person who brandished and fired a gun was the DC police lieutenant who gunned her down as she stepped through a broken window draped in a Trump campaign flag.

The occupation of a portion of the Capitol lasted a couple of hours and consisted mainly of trespassers taking selfies, chatting with cops, stealing minor souvenirs, and sitting triumphantly in seats of power that werent theirs. Almost all the charges levied against the interlopers have been trespassing, criminal trespass, destroying government property, entering a restricted area, and the like. Despite that, and with civil rights violations reminiscent of Woodrow Wilsons presidency, dozens were put in solitary confinement and denied bail for months.

On the anniversary of the riot, the Democrat leadership competed for the best hyperbole award by putting the three-hour riot on a par with the Civil War, Pearl Harbor and 9-11. The public didnt seem impressed, perhaps because any reasonable person knows that more than flagpoles and pepper spray are needed to topple the government of the most powerful nation on earth. So, Democrats have resorted to stoking fear by hinting darkly that Jan. 6 was just a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

Others say Republicans will accomplish their coup dtat via another fiction, white supremacist-style voter suppression. Even though newly enacted voting reforms in Georgia make voting easier than it was under the old law, and easier than it is in President Bidens home state of Delaware, Democrats have gone on a rampage against voter ID and ballot safety requirements. Their own pending voting rights bill would institutionalize the loose voting standards adopted during the pandemic emergency.

In a recent podium-pounding rant, Biden likened opponents of the voting rights bill to such notorious segregationists as Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who sought to destroy the American union to maintain slavery, Alabama Sheriff Bull Connor, who ordered firehoses and dogs turned on peaceful civil rights marchers in the early 1960s, and Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who personally blocked a door to prevent the entrance of black students assigned to a formerly all-white school in his state. Liberal media outlets applauded Biden, without noting that all those miscreants were Democrats and that the bill would likely run afoul of the states constitutional mandate to set the Times, Places and Manner of elections.

On voting requirements, Democrats are again misreading their audience. A poll of 1,200 voters conducted last August by the Honest Elections Project revealed that 81 percent of those surveyed, including 77 percent of Black respondents, favored a photo ID requirement to vote.

Consider the crisis at the southern border, an anomalous foreign policy, COVID mismanagement, constant race baiting, reimagined policing, and inflationary spending. The Democrat Party will not be undone by any Republican cabal, but by trying to convince America that their fictions are truths.
