THE PATRIOT POST - ALEXANDER'S COLUMN 11/04/2020

 

Against All Odds — Republican 2020 Gains?

The future of Liberty does not rest on one political cycle, but upon millions of grassroots American Patriots ready to defend it.

Mark Alexander

"We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections." —John Adams (1797)

Tuesday, I voted in person. Here in Tennessee, I could've voted early or absentee with confidence — there are no Demo bulk-mail ballots here, and ID is required — but there is something deeply affirming about voting in person. Standing in line for 90 minutes was a first in our precinct, where the wait in a normal year is 10 minutes. Of course, there's nothing "normal" about this year.

It's fitting that on my way to vote, I also exercised my Second Amendment rights — before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can infringe on those rights, as they've promised to do. I did so by picking up a new SIG Sauer P365 9 mm pistol. (I don't mean this as an advertisement for SIG, but I carried a 226 as my service weapon for many years, and the new micro-compact 365 is flawless.)

So where do the presidential and other election results stand?

First, consider that all the forces were aligned against Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans this year despite the Trump administration's considerable and in fact historic achievements. (See "Promises Made — Promises Kept.")

Predictably, Democrats effectively politicized the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. The racist party of division and hate used the canard of "systemic racism" as political fodder to incite Marxist Black Lives Matter radicals and their cadres of anarchist agitators to riot in urban centers across the nation.

Hate, the coefficient of fear and anger, is a powerful motivator. During this campaign, the Left mobilized a LOT of Trump haters whose "passion" was every bit as motivating as that demonstrated by Trump's supporters. And elections are, for the vast majority of voters, not about policies but about personalities. President Trump injured his reelection prospects with chaotic communications and by allowing himself to become the face of COVID misery.

Those massive challenges were on top of the perennial challenges posed by the Leftmedia and social media collusion with the Democrat Party principals, and hundreds of millions in funding from socialist billionaires.

As I've noted before, imagine what the American political landscape would look like if the mass media and social media platforms were actually politically neutral. That landscape would take a seismic shift to the right.

Consequently, Donald Trump is hanging on by the thinnest of threads, as Democrats continue to find more Demo ballots to push Biden over the requisite 270 electoral votes. By the way, did you notice that big states with Republican governors — like Florida, Texas, and Ohio — had smooth and orderly votes completed on Tuesday? The holdup, in every sense of that word, is in states with Democrat governors — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Nevada. Or, in Georgia, one Democrat county. Go figure.

According to President Trump: "This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. ... Frankly, we did win this election. ... We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we'll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to be finding any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning."

Biden declared: "While the votes continue to be counted, we're going to remain vigilant. The right to vote has been at the center of our democracy since the founding of this nation, and we're going to protect the integrity of the vote. ... But I truly do believe that we are on the road to victory."

For Biden to assert, with a straight face, that Democrats are going "to protect the integrity of the vote" is laughable. Bulk-mailing ballots completely undermines the integrity of the vote.

It is astounding that on the morning after Election Day, there was no clear presidential winner, with both Trump and Biden declaring victories. That's the "good" news. Outside of the leftist strongholds in the Northeast and Left Coast, America remains deeply divided.

I note "astounding" because, despite the odds, the HARRIS/Biden ticket performed much more poorly than the Democrat Party operatives and their Leftmedia propagandists projected. While they worked their "Pollaganda Effect" magic — using biased media polls designed as propaganda to invigorate leftist voters and discourage those on the Right — that didn't convince middle America that Democrats were their savior.

In 2016, Trump received 63 million votes, while Hillary Clinton tallied 66 million. The record vote in a presidential election was Barack Obama's in 2008, when he received 69.5 million. Joe Biden has already exceeded that record, but it's only because the Democrats rigged the balloting by bulk mail. That would account for what they promised would be a "red mirage" — Trump appearing to win but Biden prevailing.

As Biden himself declared in a colossal political gaffe a week before the election: "We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter-fraud organization in the history of American politics."

Beyond the presidential election, retention of the Senate is now secure, as the Maine Senate race has just been called for Republican Susan Collins. This welcome news means that the Democrats' only path to Senate control will be in January, when Georgia holds a special Senate election for an incumbent who won her contest yesterday but not by a margin sufficient to avoid a run-off: Kelly Loeffler. And even that door will close if North Carolina's Thom Tillis is declared the winner of his race. The likeliest projection for the Senate: Republicans hold a 52-48 advantage.

The mere prospect of retaining Senate control is remarkable given that Republicans had to defend 23 seats when Demos only had 12 seats to defend. And the flood of money from rich white leftists was astounding. In South Carolina, where Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham was challenged by Jaime Harrison, Graham won 55.1% to 43.6%, despite the fact Harrison raised more than $100 million to defeat Graham.

In the House, there may actually be a marginal pickup of five Republican seats, and it looks like Republicans netted one Republican governor for a 27-23 total.

If Biden prevails with a Senate majority, here is what comes next.

They will insist Trump "stole the Supreme Court" and endeavor to pack the Court. They will also endeavor to pack the Senate by advancing statehood for Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.

In a final blow to our Republic, they will attempt to abolish the Electoral College. As a reminder, this would give the people of Los Angeles County alone (population 10,040,000) more voice than those of 41 states with fewer people. As it is now, the nation is already largely controlled by urbanites, who are the most pliable Democrat voters. It comes down to Patriots across the nation versus cowering and helpless leftist urban dwellers and their white privilege suburbanites, all of whom depend on Patriots for their existence more than they know.

The leftist objectives will likely be pursued by a Harris-Pelosi administration, or whomever takes Demo Speaker Nancy Pelosi's place once the next Congress convenes, after Biden has resigned — and the central government will take an exponential leap to the left, supported by their leftist lemmings.
 "After Biden has resigned"?

As I wrote the week Biden tapped Harris, if elected, Biden will likely resign early in his first year in office due to his "progressive state of dementia." Pelosi has already seeded the legislation for Biden's path to resign. This gives the Democrat Party plausible deniability to remove Biden, and, of course, he will be complicit in that political maneuver, and, ostensibly "acquiesce" to House Democrats in order to cover the fact that the real candidate has been Kamala Harris all along. Thus, Democrats will avoid protest from Biden supporters that the transition fix was in before the election.

I should note that the biggest winner, beyond the rising tide of statist Democrat socialism, is Red China, the nation posing the most significant existential threat to the United States. After putting the world economy into a tailspin, China's investment in "The Big Guy" defeating Trump will pay rich dividends.

Finally, in a very real sense, this election was, in fact, a "BATTLE for the SOUL of the NATION," as Biden and Harris declared in their campaign slogan, and if they prevail with the Senate, it will become a BATTLE for the FUTURE of AMERICAN LIBERTY.

For those of us who have sworn "to support and defend" the promise and legacy of American Liberty enshrined in our Constitution, and rise every day with that obligation central to our mission, we approach the imminent threat to Liberty posed by Biden and Harris on a very different level. We will never surrender to tyranny, the inheritance of Liberty endowed by our Creator.

Fellow Patriots, this has indeed been the most challenging election cycle I have ever witnessed. The future of Liberty does not rest on one political campaign or cycle. It rests upon the dedication of millions of grassroots American Patriots who remain steadfast in defense of the Unalienable Rights of Man.
