As we approach Election Day the insanity level rises
Hang on. It's only going to get more insane.
In less than two weeks Americans will go to the polls to elect the next president and the crazy is hanging heavy in the air.
The stakes are high for the country at large but they are even higher for the political class that for a decade has railed against Donald Trump. If Trump is redeemed by American voters they are in trouble, which is why many people in Washington and in the old media are starting to panic. They hoped to have things in the bag by now. No way America could elect Trump again, could they?
They could. It is even possible we think that Trump could win resoundingly. It’s possible. If that happens what do people like The Morning Joe crew do? They have gone all in.
Of course there is the real possibility of a Kamala win. Though the momentum at this moment feels like it is headed Trump’s way, that could change. Kamala also has the political class from the neocons to the Obamas on her side. Those people do not want to be bested by Donald Trump, again.
As we examine the current political craziness let’s start with what professor and political pundit Bret Weinstein had to say on Joe Rogan recently.
“We owe Trump a huge debt of gratitude, for proving something that I couldn’t have told you was true before he won the presidency. Which is, is there still enough democracy left in the system for something to upend the plan? Because he (Trump) was clearly off narrative and he did become president…”
As we asked in our piece last month, we wonder if there is STILL enough democracy in our democracy to elect Trump?
This is no endorsement. It is a legitimate question. Can someone (from the right or left or otherwise) face down the system and win? That is one tall order. The system does not like to lose and typically doesn’t. We’ll soon see.
In the meantime things are getting weird(er).
Former Congressman George Santos claims that a devastating new story about Kamala Harris set to drop today
Yeah, that guy. We’re not holding our breath.
Kamala Harris calls Trump a 'fascist'
OK so we’re here now? In fairness Kamala has at least as much claim to being a communist as Trump does to being a fascist. Both communism and fascism we must always emphasize are statist philosophies, and yes, fascism is absolutely a form of socialism.
The fascism bit does feel like a desperate move at this point as Kamala’s steam continues to ebb.
Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump.
And I know I’m not alone.
This is a person, a woman who it sounds like might have not voted (which would have been a win for Harris), who feels that Kamala’s campaign has pushed her toward actively supporting Trump. That is interesting.
It is also interesting that Kamala’s team thinks campaigning with Liz Cheney, a sitting congresswoman who was primaried in the most humiliating way, over 30 points, is going to sway “undecided” Republicans. Good luck with that. Let’s remember what Liz Cheney said about Kamala four years ago.
But you know…That was like last election. Now voting for her is a good idea.
OK.
