**Why Doesn’t the Left Want Voters to Decide Election?
Victor Davis Hanson | July 19, 2024
When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican
primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not
be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic
candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.
What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to
neuter candidate, then president, then ex-president, and then
candidate again, Donald Trump.
The nonstop efforts were all justified as “saving democracy”
—albeit by nearly destroying it.
In 2015-2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign fueled the lie that
discredited ex-British spy Christopher Steele had discovered Trump
to be a veritable Russian agent.
Hillary did not disclose that she had paid Steele—with checks
hidden through three paywalls. The FBI, under Director James Comey,
also hired the fraudster.
Yet almost nothing in his “Steele dossier” was true.
The FBI doctored evidence submitted to a FISA court.
Comey leaked to the press confidential documents about his private
conversations with President Trump.
Comey’s successor, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, lied
on numerous occasions to federal investigators.
Both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper repeatedly lied to the nation,
saying that Trump was de facto working with the Russians.
The result? Trump lost the 2016 popular vote but still won
the Electoral College.
Next, celebrities and well-funded liberals waged a media cam-
paign to convince the electors to become “faithless.” Left-wing
elites begged them to renounce their constitutional duties and
instead throw the election to Hillary Clinton.
Once Trump was elected, “Russian collusion” was fired up again
in hysterical fashion.
A special counsel, Robert Mueller, consumed 22 months of the
Trump presidency. His investigation team constantly leaked false-
hoods about the “walls closing in on” Trump.
After nearly two years, Mueller announced there was no
evidence of a Trump effort to collude with Russia.
Next was the first impeachment of Trump—nearly the moment he
lost the House in 2018.
Supposedly, Trump had leveraged Ukraine to investigate a
corrupt Hunter Biden by delaying foreign aid.
Trump was impeached on a strictly partisan vote.
But later, no one denied that the drug-addled Hunter Biden
had indeed gotten rich from Ukraine, or that Joe Biden had fired
a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into his son’s misadventures while
still vice president, or that Trump released all the military
assistance designated by Congress, or that he included offensive
weapons formerly denied Ukraine by the Obama-Biden administration.
Next, in 2020, when Hunter’s laptop turned up abandoned at a
repair shop and full of incriminating evidence of more Biden family
skullduggery, the left struck again.
It rounded up “51 former intelligence authorities” to mislead
the American people on the eve of the vote that the laptop was
likely a fake—once again cooked up by Russian disinformation
experts to aid Trump.
And once more, that was another complete falsehood. But the
lie proved useful to Joe Biden in the debates and campaign. And he
won the election.
Next, the learn-nothing, forget-nothing left turned to the
2023-2024 campaign.
This time, their next extra-legal efforts were twofold.
One, they unsuccessfully sought to remove Trump from some 15
state ballots.
Two, local, state, and federal courts began to wage lawfare to
convict and jail candidate Trump, or at least bankrupt him and keep
him off the campaign trail.
Three, county and state prosecutors campaigned on getting
Trump on charges never filed before against a presidential candi-
date—and rarely against anyone else as well.
The Fani Willis Georgia lead prosecutor met secretly with the
Biden White House counsel.
Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan team hired the third-ranking federal
prosecutor in the Biden Justice Department.
Special counsel Jack Smith was found by a court to have been
illegally appointed and much of his case was dismissed.
On July 13, a shooter nearly killed candidate Trump, nicking
his ear after somehow firing a rifle from a rooftop a mere 140 yards
away—while undetected by law enforcement inside the very same
building below.
Prior to the shooting, Joe Biden had boasted to donors that
“it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Biden had railed nearly nonstop that a Trump victory would
spell the end of democracy—a theme the left had fueled by comparing
ad nauseam Trump to Adolf Hitler.
Yet here we are in mid-July 2024 and Trump, the Republican candi-
date, is alive and leads incumbent Biden—either because of, or
despite, the crude efforts to destroy him.
After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the
FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections?
Can a bankrupt media cease whipping up hysteria about a supposed
Nazi-like takeover?
Can the left stop relying on washed-up British spies, corrupt
ex-spooks, and teams of clownish partisan prosecutors?
Instead, why not, at last, just let the people choose their own
president?**
Since this was published, Biden has been forced to withdraw
from the campaign because Trump destroyed him in the only debate
they held and although Biden had received 14M primary votes the
corrupt Democrats installed Harris in as the candidate without her
receiving a single vote. The story is that Pelosi, Obama, and other
unelected Czars threatened Biden with the 14th Amendment so rather
that expose his dismal job and what he had done over the years he
left the race.
Then Harris picked a communist stolen valor reservist as her
running mate that, if elected will end the United States turn our
once great nation into a third world nation.
God promised that He will save His people. He is an awesome
God who can overcome anything is we ask.
