Power Line.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Democrats are pushing all the chips into the middle of the table. With Kamala Harris calling us Nazis and fascists, and Joe Biden calling us garbage, they aren\u2019t planning any sort of unity-fest if they win. While Donald Trump is laying out a positive vision for his second term, one that will benefit all Americans who aren\u2019t financially tied to the status quo, the Democrats are preparing to go scorched earth.<\/p>\n

After all, if you are in power and your country is infected with Nazis, fascists and garbage people, what should they expect? We will see a crackdown the likes of which our country has never experienced, with near-total control over the means of communication and lawfare that, this time, won\u2019t only be directed at figures like Trump and Steve Bannon, who was just released from a federal prison. I think the Democrats plan on casting a much wider net to punish \u201cNazis\u201d and \u201cfascists,\u201d with no one to protest except us garbage people, whom they intend to silence, one way or another. If the Democrats can get to 51%, they will try to cement themselves in power for a long time to come.<\/p>\n

So which vision is going to come true? The positive, or the dystopian? Many Trump supporters are feeling exultant, as the tide has been running, if only weakly, in his direction. The RealClearPolitics average betting odds now stand at 64%\/35% in Trump\u2019s favor. But if the polls are a guide, Trump\u2019s momentum has slowed somewhat. The most recent surveys have him tied in Michigan, either tied, down one or up three in North Carolina, tied or up one in Wisconsin, tied (twice) or up three in Pennsylvania, and so on. The polls are telling us the election is too close to call, and I don\u2019t think there is any reason to believe they are\u2013all!\u2013somehow undercounting Republican voters. That certainly isn\u2019t what happened in 2022.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
