Holder: ‘American Democracy Could End
with the Election of Donald Trump’

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/19/2024 7:50:04 AM

Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that “American democracy could end with the election” of former President Donald Trump. Holder said, “I think a second Trump term, and this is something voters need to keep in mind, a second Trump term would have a politicized, weaponized United States Department of Justice.” He continued, “You have to look at what it is they’re talking about. That is the Trump campaign, the former president himself and think of the America they’re trying to create. You would have a president who is beyond the reach of the law,

Democracy ended with bogus opposition research being used by the partisan FBI to spy on political candidates with impunity in the nature of a Banana Republic.

Sounds GREAT!! End Democracy? Since when has democracy promoted freedom? We are a Republic!! Democrats are totalitarian tyrants who can't even rely on their fan base to get elected. They have to cheat, disenfrachinzing millions of Americans. I'm all for ENDING that process. Political Democrats are traitors to the Constitution and should be universally charged, tried and executed if found guilty. Free the J6, political prisoners!

This clown. President Obama’s “wing man.” Gimme a break. Statements for the hysterical, lo-info voter. They are all about reducing the Constitution to ashes and the nation to rubble but have nothing with which to replace it. …Excepting their own self-convinced rectitude. The Lefties are such an ovine herd, so averse to the examined life in person and economic truth in public discourse. They appeal to people’s worst impulses, and in the current libertine culture have succeeded. A life of sacrifice and service especially in service to the American experience of self-government and the anti-tribal, is anathema to them. We as a society regress under collectivism. They’re simply corrupt opportunists, seeking power over not tolerance of their fellow man.

Their great fear is that the fundamental transformation of this American Constitutional Republic into a democracy will be ended with the election of Donald Trump. May it be so, by the grace of Almighty God! Pray! Go to the link provided and read the difference between a Republic and a Democracy and why our founders held views such as the following: Declaration signer John Witherspoon stated: “Pure democracy cannot subsist long nor be carried far into the departments of state—it is very subject to caprice and the madness of popular rage.”1 Declaration signer and second President John Adams stated: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”2 In a letter to John Adams on July 21, 1789, Declaration signer and physician Benjamin Rush called a democracy “one of the greatest evils.”3 Noah Webster explained: “In democracy…there are commonly tumults and disorders…. Therefore a pure democracy is generally a very bad government. It is often the most tyrannical government on earth.”4 Constitution signer and two-term President of the U.S. James Madison insisted that, “democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”5 [Excerpted from America: A Democracy Or A Republic - https://apologeticspress.org/america-a-democracy-or-a-republic/]

This seems to be the recurrent and coordinated theme among democrats this year - end of democracy. Poster #5 reminds us again that we do not live in a democracy, we live in a Constitutional Republic! This message should be proclaimed to America again and again and loudly. Once again our public education system has failed us.

American democracy started to end over a hundred years ago with the demoslut party. It picked up steam about fifty ago and really took off with Obozo being elected. Up until then, the demosluts kept their REAL agenda under wraps. Now they no longer care to keep it a secret. They just blame Republicans for things they do themselves.

How democraticly was Holder's Fast & Furious program planned and executed? "American Democracy" is how we got Jim Crow laws in Democrat controlled states. The Civil War was fought to preserve the Union (as a Republic). Marginalized people owe a debt of gratitude to the white people who fought in the Civil War and who voted for the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965. There were only two black members of congress then. A country governed by majority rule (Democracy) would never have provided equal protection under the law.

I hope the Dems keep up this “sky is falling” idiocy since only the MSNBC-brainwashed will believe it. It would be entertaining to find out just exactly how they think Trump would pull off an attempted coup d’état. Does he have divisions of soldiers secretly lined up? Is he going to nuke Harvard? Are the Proud Boys poised to kidnap Liz Cheney? The meme of Trump as Hitler or Putin puppet has been worn thin. But that’s how morally and intellectually bankrupt the so-called Democrats have become. They’re running on empty.

The Democrats and globalists are on a clear mission to erase the 1st, 2nd, and now 4th Amendments as well as trying to jail the front runner in the Presidential election. They refer to this as ‘saving our democracy’. I refer to this as evil minded, power mad rabid dogs who want to destroy the republic and replace it with communism.

What we have now, people like Holder call a 'Democracy'. Sorry, what we currently have cannot be called a Democracy, a Republic, or even representative government. It represents virtually no one. A small group controls the country for power and wealth. They will do anything to stay in power. Our two-party system is a sham. We are being played people. Holder is nothing but a spokesperson for Biden, Obama, and the people that control them.

Something is going on here, but I haven’t figured out what. All this hand wringing from people who stole the 2020 election, and know they plan on doing it again, is over the top. So, what’s behind this media blitz of preparing people for a Trump presidency? Is it creating such a state of hysteria for democrats that they will accept any last-minute skullduggery with their nominee? Is it to try and get out-in-the-open vote fraud sanctioned? Is it a dog whistle for assassination? Are they running out of clones? The Deep State is not afraid but they are trying to convince us that they are.

"...a second Trump term would have a politicized, weaponized United States Department of Justice." For 3 years, the Demon-Rat puppet-masters of Senile Joe bidet have set precedence by having a weaponized US Dept of Justice. So if President Trump did that in his second term, the precedence has been set by the Demon-Rats. Fair is fair, though we all know that President Trump has too much respect for the Constitution to do that!!!!

A tacit warning from the Left that a Trump win in November will result in them not protesting or resisting, but them destroying the country, rather than let him run it. This is an eerily Hamas-like statement - like when their leaders loudly declared to the world that they absolutely. will. never. stop. attacking. Israel. (that a cease fire will never be permanent)

I have a strong belief in just the opposite.... that Donald Trump, Ron Desantis or Vivek Ramaswami as President would do much to restore and reinvigorate the American REPUBLIC. If The HairSniffer (or whoever the Democ'RAT Powers Behind the Green Curtain select as their new puppet) wins, the America we love and grew up with may be destroyed, and replaced by a Democ'RAT-party "Our Democracy" where everything that made America great is ridiculed and ultimately destroyed. The 'Rats will do their best to impose a One Party Totalitarian State, run by the Democ'RAT party insiders with most of the people having no idea who is actually running things.... today's HairSniffer Clown Car administration of Perverts and Incompetents on steroids.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race. In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly. “Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked. Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.” “If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out

Joe Biden on Sunday continued to pander to the black community in Columbia, South Carolina ahead of the state’s Democrat primary set for February 3. 81-year-old Biden participated in a political event at St. John the Baptist Church on Sunday. He brazenly lied from the pulpit about his role in the civil rights movement and his history of attending black churches. This is just weeks after he lied about ‘starting the civil rights movement’ during a stump speech at a black church in Charleston.

Independent urban legend tracking and fact-checking website Snopes took a huge amount of fire on Saturday after marking a true story about President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards “false” — so much heat that eventually they reversed their own ruling and the story is now marked “true” on the site. At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check. The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

Joe Biden went to South Carolina on Saturday to campaign. He barely does any work as it is, spends a lot of his time on vacation, but now during the little time he is actually "working," he's trying to pull himself together to campaign. It's not working. He can't seem to pull it together anymore. He was always bad but it's even worse now. Now the incoherence is more and more apparent, as is the out-of-control anger and the slurring. First, he seemed to blank out for a moment, then said, "Folks... [lengthy pause, mumbles] If were smart, I'd say thank you and leave."

“An estimated 2,681 news industry jobs were lost through the end of November,” reports the far-left Associated Press. That’s what you call a good start, reports the far-right John Nolte. I’ll bet good money that over 90 percent of those who lost their jobs voted for His Fraudulency Joe Biden. So what we have here is another case of people getting what they voted for. Boo hoo.

Omar also said she represents Somalia in Congress and told the audience that they control the U.S. government’s Somalia policy.

“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.” --Montesquieu Those of us old enough to remember the infamous trial of O.J. Simpson will certainly remember the daily presence in the court of Jo-Ellen Demetrius, the jury consultant who determined which people among the jury pool would be likely to decide in Simpson’s favor. (Snip) A jury consultant’s job is to research, as closely as possible, each prospective juror by any means necessary so that the defense can select the persons who may be most disposed to find their client not guilty.

Dr. Roy Spencer, a top scientist specializing in climate, wrote a report for Heritage which he summarized on his own web site. Spencer compared observed warming in the U.S. corn belt during the summer, between 1973 and 2022–a 50-year period–with the warming that was predicted by the major climate models. He found that all of the models yielded more warming than actually occurred, most to an absurd degree.
