In Victor Davis Hanson’s latest commentary – a superb analytical piece as usual, he explains what so-called “progressives” really think of democracy.
After first reminding us at length of how the current Democrat presidential and vice presidential nominees are avoiding actual exposure – i.e. answering real questions about their positions and how they have changed, in some cases by 180 degrees, from the ones they had just a couple of months ago…
…Mr Hanson then explains the rest of the “progressive story” this way:
Add it all up, and the president, the vice president, the Democratic presidential candidate, and the vice presidential nominee all either cannot or will not speak casually and publicly to elected representatives, reporters, or the people themselves.
Worse still, they retire from their responsibilities of public engagement because these selected officials accept that the alternative of transparency is nearly suicidal to their own agendas. No one is now in charge of America—neither the ghosted president nor the campaigning vice president candidate who both act as if they hold no office.
It gets far worse still. Joe Biden was created by a soft coup of sorts in March 2000 when all his unpalatable left-wing radical rivals mysteriously vanished in unison at a time when an inert “centrist” Biden had not yet won a single primary.
Then Biden was dethroned abruptly 38 months later by the same inside plotters who deemed his sock puppet role was no longer viable—but only after their sure loser in November had become more a liability to the left than any longer a useful, empty vessel of governance. But as for his fitness as a man of the left to continue ruling us, he was just fine.
It continues to get even worse.
Then the same donors, the same politicos, and the same obsequious media grandees pivoted yet a third time. On the morning of June 27, a fit-as-a-fiddle Biden needed not to step down both because of his brilliance and dynamism—and the unthinkable succession of the Harris mediocrity.
By late night June 27, it was decided that a now suddenly enfeebled and unelectable Biden could be forcibly removed. Harris was Phoenix-like just as quickly reborn as the second coming of Obama—glib, in control, cool, and competent.
We are now witnessing yet a fourth coup from the party that warns us that democracy dies in darkness.
They have removed their once robust now demented nominee, nullified 14 million primary voters, repackaged and selected Harris in his place who has never won a single primary—and now plan to continue in power for another four years by silencing the outgoing president, secluding the vice president and muting the Democratic ticket itself.
In sum, leftists endlessly conspire not only because they have little confidence in the people, but because they have absolutely none in themselves.
Is any of this wrong? Is one word of this analysis untrue? Inaccurate?
If so, show me where. Because I can’t find it.
Then there is the media component.
If we had real mainstream media, the points being made in Victor Davis Hanson’s commentary would be major story lines every day – every day – until these candidates fully explain the changes between their years’ long positions and the ones they suddenly are espousing now that it is worth more votes to be on the other side.
But we don’t. Not even close. Which is why there are so many people in the SIP category (Stupid, and/or Ignorant, and/or Partisan) buying into their charade.
Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe it.
