A Primal Scream: Allowing True Trump Haters Center Stage
The Democrat Party, led by President Joe Biden, has spent years warning Americans of “evil” Donald Trump being a threat to democracy. In what appears to be a call to fairness, the Manhattan Contrarian (aka Francis Menton) allows center stage to Trump “haters” to make their case in their own words:
Trump, a Bad Man
Exhibit A: From Rebecca Solnit at The Guardian:
They could not have picked a more outrageous man to throw their weight and reputations behind – a psychotic clown who’s also an indicted felon found liable in civil court for sexual assault, barred from doing business in New York, a stealer of state secrets, a would-be thief of an election and the instigator of a violent attack on the legislative branch of government and the constitutionally mandated transition of power after an election. A grifter who in 2016 won a minority victory in a corrupted election – his conviction earlier this year was on charges for one small part of that corruption. A man who has gloated about seizing dictatorial powers and never letting go and a worshiper of tyrants denounced by dozens of his former cabinet members and senior staffers.
Making the Case: Trump a Threat to Democracy
“Whew,” gasps Francis Menton, staggering before righting himself to note how nothing new is being offered here about anything that “Trump did during four years in office.” Instead, it’s just more “outrageous,” “psychotic,” a “clown,” an “indicted felon,” a “stealer of state secrets,” a “thief,” a “grifter,” and so on and on – “a classic ad hominem argument”. “None of that is evidence from acts that Trump is a unique “threat to democracy,” writes Mr. Menton.
Joe Biden’s Worst Offenses against Democracy
- Hundreds of billions of dollars of annual government funding for the institutions of the left.
“(Joe) Biden is not personally responsible for all of this enormous support for left-wing politics,” grants Mr. Manton, “but (Biden) provides no push-back against the level of funding, and large annual increases.”
- The several student loan forgiveness plans that Biden has put forth are naked vote-buying with taxpayer funds.
These are entirely Biden’s unilateral acts, Menton continues. “The fact that the President would attempt such an act without congressional authorization makes the threat to democracy even greater.”
- Opening the southern border and letting millions in illegally was basically a unilateral act of Biden.
Isn’t generating large numbers of illegal votes the main reason for opening the border?
Why America Has a Bill of Rights:
From Followers of the Manhattan Contrarian:
- The word “Democracy” does not appear in our founding documents.
- America’s founding is based on the assumption of Natural Rights, not Democracy.
- Democracy really means a dictatorship of the proletariat.
