DEMOCRATS, KEEP YOUR SHIRTS ON

If you are like me, the demonstration/riot in DC Wednesday was terrible. I was surprised that normal sane followers of Trump, even upset, would react the way they did. If I had not seen the MAGA hats I would have thought it was an antifa riot. They look the same. There are reports out now that the Trump people were infiltrated by some of the usual suspects. Investigations are under way to learn the truth.

 

So what was accomplished? Did the election of Biden get thrown out? Of course not. Did the fact that the Democrats now have control of our entire government change? Obviously, no. I understand five people died in the riot. Windows were broken. Furniture was broken or stolen. In other words, it was a looting raid by some seriously unhappy people and possibly organized thugs.  

 

Trump will be blamed. The media will crucify him again. Democrats and some Republicans will line up and condemn him. It is obvious that even sane Republicans are capable of ugly behavior and violence just like the thugs we all have criticized for years.

 

Count me among those who wished it didn't happen, but it did. So, is it possible that any good can come from this? I will offer some thoughts for your consideration. 

 

Let's say you are Chuck Schumer and you are looking at ultra-liberal legislation being foisted on the Congress by the so-called progressives. As you look at this bill, you know it is going to be despised by the half of the country who supported Trump and his policies. Will the raid come to your mind? Might you back off a bit? I think those are reasonable questions. 

 

What exactly were these rioters upset about? It is pretty obvious that they believe the election was stolen. It did look very suspicious.  As a traditional American and a Republican, I have some questions too. Like, which party is the only party who opposes refreshing voter rolls and eliminating deceased voters as well as those who have moved to other states. Which party opposes voter ID? Here's a hint, it isn't the Republican party.

 

Like all Americans I also want every legal vote to count. But, a vote by a dead person is not a legal vote. A vote by an illegal alien is not a legal vote. A vote by an unregistered voter is not a legal vote. Finally, a vote by mail should not be seen as an opportunity to vote twice by also voting in person. 

 

Why do the Dems oppose these simple regulations? Is it possible that they know they cannot win in a legitimate election? Just asking. 

 

Now the big push is to deny us all the remaining few days of a Trump Administration. He is being assailed from every lefty news organization. Pelosi insists that he be impeached again. She knows the Senate will never go along with her nonsense, but that won't deter her. 

 

I recently watched a TV show about a veterinarian in the Yukon treating a bull musk ox. She had to anesthetize the big guy to work on him. She warned that once the bull is down, she had to keep all other musk ox away from him because they would attack the big bull if they thought he was wounded. 

 

It reminded me of what is going on in Washington. The swamp denizens think Trump is wounded so they attack. They may want to remember the seventy-five million voters who just voted for him. Trump, while somewhat wounded, is not alone. 

 

Democrats, keep your shirts on. Relax. Be careful. In a few days you'll have your wish….for a short time.
