The Democrats have been claiming that if Trump is elected president it would be the3 end of democracy even as they violate the Constitution and ignore rulings by the Supreme Court. This is a strategy known as projection. That is blatantly violating the Constitutional rights of individuals and then blaming the opposition for your sins. Democrats pooh poohed BLM and antifa violence during their riots including attacks on law enforcement and the looting and burning of businesses, but they have treated non-violent to decades in prison.
Who issued the mask mandate, the closing of businesses, and the mandatory vaccination with experimental drugs that can maim or kill? How about the billions of dollars that Biden has spent paying off the debt of deadbeats who refuse to pay their student loans? Or how about the redirecting money meant for Covid and are used by Democrats for radical purposes? And let us not forget parents being named terrorists for objecting to racist teachings in schools as well as having porn in the school library.
And let us not forget the big one. Democrats passed laws to prevent landlords from evicting anyone who did not pay rent. This cost landlords billions of dollars and the possible loss of their property if they could not afford to make their mortgaged properties. They were also expected to make repairs without receiving their rent money. The Constitution says that the government cannot take your property without proper reimbursement.
And now, they are considering their biggest theft from taxpayers in history. Now, they want your votes. If Trump is elected they want to ignore the results and keep a legally elected candidate from taking office.
Attorney Jason Murray, who argued Colorado’s case to keep Trump off the ballot thinks there could be a constitutional crisis in our future:
Murray and other legal scholars say that, absent clear guidance from the Supreme Court, a Trump win could lead to a constitutional crisis in Congress. Democrats would have to choose between confirming a winner many of them believe is ineligible and defying the will of voters who elected him. Their choice could be decisive: As their victory in a House special election in New York last week demonstrated, Democrats have a serious chance of winning a majority in Congress in November, even if Trump recaptures the presidency on the same day. If that happens, they could have the votes to prevent him from taking office.

But during oral arguments, liberal and conservative justices alike seemed inclined to dodge the question of his eligibility altogether and throw the decision to Congress.
In the Colorado case, the court clearly didn’t like the idea that a state could throw a candidate off the ballot on its own initiative. Instead the Justices left this call to Congress. But that means, in theory, an incoming Democratic Congress could vote to decide Trump is ineligible under the 14th amendment. They could effectively overrule the decision of the voters which would surely create a whole new level of chaos:
In an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, a trio of legal scholars—Edward Foley, Benjamin Ginsberg, and Richard Hasen—warned the justices that if they did not rule on Trump’s eligibility, “it is a certainty” that members of Congress would seek to disqualify him on January 6, 2025. I asked Lofgren whether she would be one of those lawmakers. “I might be.”
The scholars also warned that serious political instability and violence could ensue. That possibility was on Raskin’s mind, too. He conceded that the threat of violence could influence what Democrats do if Trump wins. But, Raskin added, it wouldn’t necessarily stop them from trying to disqualify him. “We might just decide that’s something we need to prepare for.”
This is really playing with fire. Trump lost the 2020 election and efforts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power were wrong and wrong-headed, as VP Mike Pence made clear at the time. Similarly, voting to disqualify Trump after a clear win in the electoral college (assuming for sake of argument that happens) would never be accepted by his voters or by fair-minded Americans who didn’t vote for him but nevertheless recognize the need to allow the transfer of power in accordance with the expressed wishes of the people.
Going forward with disqualification after the election would certainly result in threats of violence and likely in actual violence directed toward the elected officials involved. I’m not saying that because it’s something I want to see. On the contrary, I think it’s a real worst case scenario for this country, one from which it would be hard to come back.
