This Is What They Mean By "Our Democracy"

•  "Colorado Supreme Court declares Donald Trump is ineligible for the White House"--AP. In a 4-3 decision the Court decided that Trump had been involved in an insurrection, disqualifying him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, even though "[t]he FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials."
• "California lieutenant governor calls for exploring options to take Donald Trump off the presidential ballot"--KCRA.com.  
• "More than HALF of Americans approve of Colorado disqualifying Trump: New poll shows a quarter of Republicans also back the bombshell Supreme Court decision that has sent shockwaves across the US"--Daily Mail.
• And speaking of never Trumpers, another Daily Mail article relates:

    One of the plaintiffs [in the Colorado suit to disqualify Trump], Norma Anderson, was the former Republican Colorado House and Senate leader. 

    'My fellow plaintiffs and I brought this case to continue to protect the right to free and fair elections enshrined in our Constitution and to ensure Colorado Republican primary voters are only voting for eligible candidates. Today's win does just that,' she said in a statement. 

    'Long before this lawsuit was filed, I had already read Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and concluded that it applied to Donald Trump, given his actions leading up to and on January 6th. I am proud to be a petitioner, and gratified that the Colorado Supreme Court arrived at the same conclusion we all did,' she added. 

"Our Democracy" means that you don't get to vote for a candidate not approved by the elites. 

    It's no wonder that Don Surber recently asked why even be a Republican after reading an article by David Harsanyi complaining of the populist influence in the Republican party. 

    What Republicans did not give Trump was what Trump supporters wanted most: a wall. While Harsanyi bitched about immigration, he ignored the failure of Republicans to build a wall to stop this invasion by Criminals, Terrorists, And Future Democrat Voters.

    The reason Harsanyi’s Congress denied Trump the wall was they wanted him to fail. They wanted him to be a one-term president because he became the refrigerator light that exposed the cockroaches in deepest darkest crevices of DC. They won. They got their wish. Liz Cheney spiked the ball with that January 6 witch hunt. Wyoming took care of her.

    As I read the column, I wondered why I would support a party that detests me, that thinks I am deplorable, and that sabotaged the president I helped elect.

    Republicans in DC — weak men north of Richmond — laugh as Democrats prosecute Trump in an orgy of Orwellian justice.

    Meanwhile, Democrats march on as they turn unpopular ideas into electoral gold. Over the years, Democrats have made the unacceptable acceptable: abortion, anti-Semitism, drug abuse, gambling, gay marriage, and on and on and on. Satan no longer has to hide behind his shades because Democrats run the country now — and Republicans blame Trump supporters.

    While Democrats did all this, Republicans sat on their hands crying tax cuts. Democrats are the irresistible force while Republicans are the quite movable object.

    But Republicans are Styrofoam when the nation needs granite. No wonder Republicans cringe in fear when they hear the words Make America Great Again — the battle cry of Trump AND Reagan.

    We need a Republican Party that puts America first.

    That means kicking illegal aliens out.

    That means ending trade with Red China.

    That means reducing the federal government and increasing our liberty.

    That means balancing the budget and creating a surplus to pay down the national debt.

    We do not have such a party. We have the Grandstanding Old Party.

    Trump found that out as president. He learned in 2020 that Republicans in Washington do not care if Democrats steal elections. Republicans in Washington don’t care if the FBI tricks their voters and sends them to prison. Republicans in Washington don’t care if we waste trillions on wars, welfare and ruin.

    But go ahead, Washington, blame your losses on me for objecting for the failure of Republicans to make a difference. They stand for nothing because nothing is what they are.
