{ americanthinker.com } ~ “This time is different.”
For millions of Americans, there has been a sense of dread and angst associated with the 2020 election. For years conservatives and independents have felt a gnawing sensation that the core values of country have been changing. Politics was once relegated to the disagreements of a few percentages of the marginal tax rate or the size of social welfare programs. Despite differences, there was always a common foundation among Americans about the basics of civil liberties, free expression, and rule of law. For at least a decade, that common foundation has come under attack. Small fissures in the bedrock of our pillars of liberty have suddenly become deep ravines of civil invasions. It has been coming for some time. Like the proverbial frog in the cooking pot, we have been lulled into a sense of complacency by the slowly increased heat of tyranny. Only now are we sensing that we may be doomed.
For the past decade or so, the left has been creating an authoritarian roadmap. Democratic party operatives, like an effective sieging army, have been testing the defenses of our constitution, rule of law, and cultural institutions to see what violations they could get away with. The process is the same every time: The attack on our liberties starts small and is tested in a place or at a level meant not to raise alarms. If no consequences arise from the violation, then each new violation became more bold and aggressive. Aided by an election and COVID, the process accelerated in in 2020 culminating in events not thought to be possible in the US: locking us in our homes, burning down our cities, brazenly rigging our elections, and shutting down even our expression of dissent. Even more shocking, despite executing on a laundry list of tyranny that would bring a tear of pride to Mao’s eye, they have faced no consequences. Only now is society realizing the kind of heat it is in.
We can now see the tyrannical road map that has weaponized the administrative state, suppressed our freedom of expression, removed our civil rights, and destroyed our democracy. It is important to review how we got here. The following are examples of how left broke down our pillars of liberty and constitution:
The weaponization of the administrative state started in earnest under scumbag/liar-nObama. After the Tea Party swept control of congress away from scumbag/liar-nObama, the IRS targeted their funding sources and effectively shut down the movement. Diligent congressmen like Jordan & Gowdy worked hard to expose the scandal, but the scumbag/liar-nObama administration took another shocking measure of using the DOJ to sandbag an investigation it was likely to be complicit in. Ultimately the investigation accomplished two things: showed liberals a roadmap for administrative oppression of political rivals, and assured them that they would face no consequences. The consequence free environment for tyranny was reaffirmed by Trump’s AG Sessions, who vowed not to litigate the past.
Emboldened by the lack of consequence, the liberal administrative state concocted the Russiagate scandal. It swayed the 2018 election and decreased support for Trump’s measures. More importantly, the key figures have not only not been prosecuted, they have become wealthy celebrities of the press. Liberals now know that they can fully weaponize the administrative state and be rewarded for it...

Fraudulent elections are nothing new, interesting thing is the fraud is worse than ever to unseat Trump from office, but it's all under his watch. He should have seen this coming, and probably has, so this is his last chance to keep his promise to drain the swamp.
The People no longer hold the franchise on Elections... the Ballot Boxes of America were sold to the highest bidder and the plutocracy now has the keys to our vote... Both Political Parties are implicated in the theft of our Democracy, in the looting of our ballot boxes and vaults of our treasury. They are now looking to shackle us with a national debt and underperforming economy, that will bring down what is left of our economy and standing as the world's reserve currency. Once that happens hyper-inflation will seal our doom.
The wealthy think to short the market ... however, what they fail to see is that they are shorting themselves... eventually there will be no market... The consumers will have no disposable income to short. Generation Z will wake to find their Bank Accounts empty, their jobs gone and the streets in front of their homes in ruin. The rust belt will become the latest pandemic. Socialism will collapse, as it works only when there is wealth to steal... Central economies feed upon themselves until there is nothing left but the carcass of a once prosperous people and Nation. The only thing left for certain will be the sound of empty streets and the protruding stomachs of hungry children and their disillusioned parents.
We must not let Biden claim the Officer of President... we must not let the Democrat Party sound the death knell of our nation ...

It sounds like the end times are here. No doubt its about to start. The beginning of 4 years we have to deal with this and maybe America will wake up to realize what they did to the USA and get back to being great again.
