It is an axiom in politics that you need to scare people into voting for candidates because voters are much more likely to vote against something than for something.

That is part of the formula the Democrats plan to use in November: Get black citizens and the young left so upset, by employing Democrat lies and media manipulation, that they find any excuse to take the streets and continue to loot, kill, and burn. The Democrats think this will scare the rest of America enough so much that when the party promises, “all this will go away if you vote Donald Trump out of office” Americans will buckle under to the blackmail and make Joe Biden president. The other part of the formula is sheer, unadulterated by facts or logic, hatred of the president. That’s all they have.

You could say, but they have the economy. No, not if the latest job numbers are any indication. Well, they have the COVID response. No, all they have there is Joe Biden idiotically calling the president a xenophobe when Trump closed the nation to China. That turned out to be a pretty good move, as even now Biden admits. Now, they could make some hay out of the Trump response to the virus if they focused on the overreaction that seriously injured the economy and threw millions out of work. But if the administration overreacted by not taking into account pertinent economic factors then the Democrat’s shrill edicts and Chicken Little prognostications make Trump look like the epitome of economic common sense. So, that’s out the window for the Democrats as well.

National security? Nope. The military has been restored and we are respected again around the world, as our adversaries are wary to cross us and our allies, like Israel, know we will stand by them. Those who used to talk a big friendly game but actually did much to harm us in myriad ways know this president is not a sucker to be taken advantage of as were his immediate predecessors.

Thus the Democrats are left with, as usual, hoping and working towards injury to America to achieve their political ends. We saw them doing it for decades in the Cold War, as they counseled surrender and retreat in the face of Soviet global aggression. We saw Democrats and their new left allies giving aid and comfort to the enemy in Vietnam and saw one of the major players, Senator Edward Kennedy, actually ask the Soviets to intervene in an American presidential election in 1984. Talk about Russian collusion.

Ergo this is not a new tactic for them, just a new twist to an old game. And history has registered its outcome in the last Democrat administration: when Democrats win- America loses.

So expect more violent race hustling riots, looting, and arson. Expect it in Jacksonville in August and in more cities in September and October leading leading up to Election Day. The Democrats will be then, and are now, like a surly mob boss leaning over a desk and saying, “Nice country you have here, good cities. Would be ashamed if something happened to them.” But America will not be intimidated by such cowardly, cheap, and obvious Democrat ploys and will, the good Lord willing and the economic creek don’t rise, reelect Donald Trump in November.
