Be Warned: The Dems Aren’t Finished Hatching Schemes to Keep Trump from Taking Office

New in PJ Media:

Throughout the 2024 campaign, Democrats insisted that we simply had to vote for Kamala Harris, or else the nation would descend into the fascist rule of Bad Orange Man, the most dangerous enemy of “our democracy” since the reigns of terror of his good friends and role models Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan. It was all bunkum, of course, and an extended use of the old tactic of accusing the enemy of what they were guilty of doing, as it was the Biden-Harris regime that took actual steps to criminalize opposition to its policies. And now, even after their disastrous electoral defeat, the defenders of democracy are still hatching plans to subvert the will of the people and prevent Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office.

The Daily Caller reported Friday that political analyst Mark Halperin Political analyst Mark Halperin has warned that “as President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, efforts to block him from assuming office will intensify.” As prophecies go, this is an easy one, more on the order of “The sun will rise tomorrow morning” than, say, “The Chicago White Sox will win the 2025 World Series.” As the great leftist-turned-patriot David Horowitz correctly noted, “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” And so the most suitable response to Halperin’s prediction can only be “Well, duh.”

The Caller pointed out that “in a Thursday column for The Hill, liberal attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Congress can still prevent Trump from taking office on Jan. 20 by rejecting electoral votes on Jan. 6, claiming Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment.” As our friend Matt Margolis noted, also on Thursday, Davis and Schulte don’t “cover much new ground.” Their column “references Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office, despite the fact that Trump did no such thing. Heck, he hasn’t even been charged with such an offense, and when you consider the fact that rogue left-wing prosecutors have charged him with all sorts of made-up crimes, that says something.”

Still, the fact that leftists are still floating this 14^th Amendment nonsense indicates that they’re still trying to figure out some way to prevent Trump from walking back into the Oval Office on Jan. 20, 2025. Halperin observed: “It seems ill-timed, not just not in the spirit of the holiday season, but also given where we are in the transition cycle … we’re gonna see more of this. I think the left has been a little bit shocked by the election results. And I think as the reality of January 20th gets closer, I think you’ll see more opinionizing just like this.”

There is more. Read the rest here.
