MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went on an epic rant Monday morning about the supposed threat of ācivil warā; talking about the actual issues in this election, we guess, doesn’t help his ratings.
Or maybe he thinks hisš¤Ŗ team isšŗ losing on the merits.
Donald Trump and his family are āpreparing for civil war,ā , focusing on weekend speeches by the ex-prez and running-maą¶£te J.D. Vanź¦æce ā including one in which Trump had the nerve to note that his enemies have āslandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot. And who knows? Maybe even tried to kill me.ā
All of which is undeniably true.
And pointing it out is fair game: Any Democrat so targeted sure wouldn’t stop talking about it.
Itās not just Scarborough pouring gas on the flames: President Biden himself hinted the same last week in dią± scussing next monthās presidential election: āI donāt know whether it will be peaceful,ā he warned.
Really? Does the nationās highest leader truly want Democrats to prepare for an actual, physical war they pretend Republicans areš planning? Could anything be more āirresponsible?
Yes, Jan. 6 was an outrage. But it was far from a true insurrection, and thereās no sign yet that weāll see even that again this year.
These šwarnings are just a step up from Demsā equally outlandish claims that a Trump victory spells the end oź¦f democracy ā claims that provide the context for actual assassination attempts on Trump.
If anything, itās Dems whoāve circumvented democracy, and not just by weaponizingą¦ the judicial system to try to bankrupt and even jail him.
The Harris-Biden folks have knowingly and proudly flouted Congress šand laws dealing with the border, student loans, COVID mandates, evicštion bans . . .
With their efforts to police “misinformation,” they seek to suppress free speech ā the very cornerstone of democracy.
They want to pack the Supreme Court.
True, they canāt run on the Harris-Biden record, which has done so much damage to the nation: Trump leads on every major issue ā and even on abortion, the Democrats feešl compelled to insist he has a secret (and politically impossible!) plan to completely outlaw it nationwide.
And so they fall back on scaremongering.
If the left cared about the countrź¦yās future, theyād stick to policy disagreements, no matter how much of a losing battle thatš§ may be.
