When the Russian Federation allegedly spent less than $200,000 on some Facebook ads in the midst of an election which cost over $6.5bn, it was immediately labelled “election theft.”
“Russia stole the election,” President Trump’s critics cried, in their efforts to undermine his legitimacy, damage faith in the process, and deny him a peaceful transfer of power. That power transfer never happened, by the way. Many forget the talk of the “Obama holdovers” that dominated the first few months of the Trump administration.
“He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” bemoaned Hillary Clinton upon the back of her historic loss. The 2016 election “was not on the level,” Clinton added. “You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you,” she persisted, without evidence.
It scarcely needs saying, but there was and remains far more evidence for election theft in 2020 – between the unconstitutional changes to mail-in vote processes, the spurious and often hidden late-night ballot dumps, the mass “ballot curing” efforts, and the corporate cash ploughed into Democrat districts. The list goes on.
Now, less than 12 months before Americans begin to cast their ballots in a year that is likely to eclipse 2016 – not just in the United States but indeed the world over – Democrat Secretaries of State are engaging in wanton abuses of their powers, much like their Attorneys General counterparts did in 2023. It’s an increasingly desperate attempt to keep one man off the ballot, fearing his landslide victory if he makes it past their partisan hurdles.
Quite clearly, the country is split along party lines on the matter. Rasmussen found that 77 percent of Democrats want Trump banned from public office if he is found guilty of “attempting to overturn the 2020 election.” Seventy-two percent already believe he is guilty.
Equally as concerning, the same data set revealed 57 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Republicans believe that “[i]f President Trump is found guilty of crimes associated with attempting to overturn the 2020 election… members of the media who also alleged that fraud tainted the election results should be criminally punished as well.”
Such a mindset would undoubtedly land almost every MAGA-minded media personality, reporter, commentator, academic, and influencer in jail. In America. For expressing the same sort of opinion – albeit with more foundation for belief – that Hillary Clinton did about her 2016 loss.
The authoritarian radicalization of the left has now tipped into the majority of Democrat voters. Heck, one in 10 of them have a positive view of Osama bin Laden, and 1 in 5 young people in America also seem to revere the Al Qaeda chief. Just don’t ask them his opinions about transgenderism.
It’s against the backdrop of such numbers that Democrat Secretaries of State believe they can get away with stealing the 2024 election from Trump. Unlike in 2020, they want to do it before a single ballot has been cast. Last time was too messy. They almost got caught. They did get caught. Then January 6th, the show trials since, the lawsuits, the curtailment of speech, and the refusal of any courts to hear actual evidence. Then the indictments, then the ballot bans, and of course we cannot forget the open incitement against the life of the 45th president.
Which is why these endeavors go far beyond the alleged “election interference” charges leveled at Americans on social media, or foreign adversaries taking out Facebook ads. In reality, this is outright election theft. In the open. Right in front of your very eyes. And just like I warned back in 2020, I’m warning again. There will be no “fair and square” in 2024.
It’s not election interference.
It’s election theft.
