Democrats offer darkness, but new light shines

Democrats today seem to reason: "If we win the White House, we'll do whatever we please. And if we don't win, we'll still do whatever we please."

Gone is the fair-play custom of accepting loss and working with the winner to advance American interests, while safeguarding basic ideals and pondering future electoral strategies. Sabotage, non-cooperation, and constant disruption are now Democrats' favored methods. 

They are the worst of bad losers. They perpetrate wrongdoings, comforted by the knowledge that a conga line of black-robed quislings will condone any malfeasance, no matter how flagrant.

The public's preferences, shown by Trump's November trouncing of his Democrat opponent, matter not to gilded zealots.

Witness the Schumer Shutdown, in which venomous progressives demand their curious fancies (like taxpayer-funding of health care for illegals and sex-surgeries in Uganda) all be granted - or no American gets anything. 

Lawlessness is rampant in U.S. cities, many of which have traditionally been Democrat run. Rabble surge through streets, chanting imbecilities in disorganization, hurling bricks and explosives at law enforcement officers, setting cars and buildings ablaze, and assaulting innocent passersby. 

Mob criminality is smiled upon by many elected Democrats. They enthusiastically pump oxygen into upheavals, doubtlessly grasping for electoral gain from rabid bombthrowers.

Some Democrat cities' officials declare them "sanctuary" ones, in which duly-enacted immigration laws are ignored. ICE agents who risk great danger by seeking to enforce American laws are villified in Democrat rhetoric, while city-burning thugs' praises are bellowed by unpatriotic schemers.

Small-pond poohbahs bar police from aiding federal law enforcement brothers and sisters. They charge ICE presence causes agitators' violence. That's akin to blaming Officer O'Shaghnessy, whistling "Oh, My Papa" and whirling his billyclub on the corner, for pickpocketing.

"Riot Inc." is the name given to extreme-left bankrollers of violent subversion. It bears remark that mentally-disheveled agitators, who typically rail against billionaires, never complain about their own moneyed patrons. 

Left-wing fat cats include not only Reid Hoffman and George Soros, but also Marc Cuban, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Steyer, and Neville Roy Singham.

During a recent White House roundtable, Seamus Bruner noted "It’s not just Antifa, but there is a whole ecosystem of radical, professional protesting organizations." Seamus, the research director at Government Accountability Institute, described Riot Inc. as a corporate-style operation whose divisions include ones for street agitation and violence, marketing, public relations, and legal guidance.

(As President Trump has observed, the admixture of Osteoarthritic Wavy Gravies and wet-eared, campus-crawling lackwits enamored of Marxist garbage-heartedness typically heft professionally manufactured signage; hardly indicative of grassroots origination.)

Americans saw Democrat skullduggery before these malicious sideshows. Remember choreographed nationwide lawfare? Remember plotted artifices to deprive voters of the Trump option by tearing him from states' ballots?

When those grimy trickeries rightly went down to ignominious defeat, and average citizens' constitutional rights to cast votes for the candidate of their choice was victorious, Democrats turned to knee-jerk contrarianism and uncivilized mayhem. 

But an optimistic light does shine.

An October seven Newsmax poll (in which this writer participated) found 66% of respondents approve of President Trump's performance, and believe Trump will restore America's economy to greatness. 66% also favored Trump over predeccessor Joe Biden, who received a scant 33% support.

A CNN poll, also dated October seven, recorded a 52% majority affirming that President Trump is doing what we elected him for.

The previous day, CNBC's Joe Kemen put Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in his place, citing facts inconvenient to America-haters. Kemen said, "All I can tell you is that the inflation rate itself was 2.7% in the most recent read, year over year, versus, it got to a high of 9% under Biden."

The CNBC host continued. "Stocks are at record highs. Unemployment is 4.2% That's full employment. The GDP was 3%. The border is actually secure. We've got trade deals with EU, Japan, many more in the works, and trillions of dollars of foreign investment coming here."

'Dollar Store Obama' could only regurgitate focus-group tested, bumper-sticker slogans.

All Democrats offer is despair. With Trump, brightness shines.
