As the possibility of a second term for former President Donald Trump grows more likely by the day, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) issued a dire warning: “It is unequivocal that if Donald Trump wins , we are looking at the potential dissolution of democracy in the United States of America.”
During a recent interview with New York magazine’s Kara Swisher, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that although it “sounds nuts,” she “wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail.”
I can’t imagine Trump actually spends much time thinking about her, but for the self-absorbed and not-so-smart congresswoman from New York, everything is always all about her.
“I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people,” she continued. “I feel like what we saw in his first presidency was an amuse-bouche to what his intentions are. He has learned from his mistakes of appointing professionals, and he will not make that mistake next time.”
The reality is that Ocasio-Cortez was just doing her part to promote the latest hoax designed to hoodwink voters into reelecting the spavined, senile, and duplicitous President Joe Biden. A Trump victory, the Left claims, will end democracy in the U.S. as we know it.
But what Democrats are all so conspicuously omitting is that Trump was already president for four years, and democracy did just fine. In fact, Trump had the opportunity to pursue charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for perpetrating the Russian collusion hoax, the greatest fraud ever carried out against a U.S. presidential candidate. And he declined, acknowledging that such a move would be “very, very divisive for the country.”
Democrats, on the other hand, have gleefully upended norms left and right in their effort to block the former president. Who could forget the infamous Steele dossier, commissioned by Washington attorney Marc Elias, who represented both the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to derail Trump’s 2016 campaign? Nothing says election interference quite like a collection of fictional and salacious stories about one’s opponent.
When it was revealed that Clinton, Elias, and top-ranking Obama administration officials had orchestrated the elaborate scheme, Trump chose to let it go, believing that victory was his reward. He also felt it would be unseemly to indict the wife of a former president.
Although the Russian collusion hoax pales in comparison to the two bogus impeachments of Trump that followed, and the multiple federal and state indictments and civil lawsuits that he now faces, the former president still maintains that he is not interested in “settling old scores.” He said in February, “My revenge will be success.”
Even after his conviction by a New York jury on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records last month, when Fox News’s Sean Hannity asked Trump a second time if he would “use the justice system to go after his political adversaries,” he said that although he “would have every right” to go after his opponents, the lawfare “has to stop.”
"It has to stop because otherwise, we're not going to have a country," Trump said. "Look, when this election is over, based on what they've done, I would have every right to go after them, and it's easy because it's Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that's going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine.
"What they're doing to me, if it's going to continue, we're really not going to have much of a country left," he continued. "It's really, it is weaponization. You call it lawfare, you call it — some people call it just warfare — but it is weaponization of the election."
The Democrats are promoting this latest canard for three reasons. Firstly, they are accusing Trump of what they are actually doing. Secondly, if the Republicans had used lawfare to destroy their primary political opponent, the Democrats would seek retribution. And finally, aside from their dire warnings that the former president is a threat to democracy and that he will end their right to late-term abortions on demand, the party has nothing else to run on.
The U.S. has become a freak show under Biden. The only groups who are better off since this walking corpse assumed office are criminals, illegal immigrants, the transgender community, and the cartels.

AOC is mistaken. It is Biden’s first term that is an “amuse-bouche” for the Democrats’ anticipated endgame, which is single-party rule in the U.S. The president needs a second term to cement the fundamental transformation of America. And the only thing standing between the Democrats and their neo-Marxist dreams is Trump.
As Trump rises in the polls, Democrats' desperation grows. Unfortunately for them, voters are starting to catch on.
