As Georgia Decides the Fate of the Republic, Democrats Play the Joe Manchin Card

As if 2020 couldn’t get any crazier, we now get to follow up the most contentious presidential election in American history with a pair of runoff elections in a newly-minted purple state for all the marbles in the U.S. Senate. Indeed, there’s a reason you’re about to see seemingly every politician and celebrity in the country descend on Georgia to make their case for either Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler or their Democratic challengers, Jon ‘Soy-Boy’ Ossoff and the Reverend Raphael ‘Don’t Call Me A Commie’ Warnock. The stakes couldn’t possibly be higher. Either the leftists who control Joe Biden get to run roughshod over everything good and decent for at least the next two years, or a GOP-controlled Senate keeps them to some degree in check and unable to create the one-party state they desire.
Plenty of rhetoric is being tossed around these days on all sides, but if you want to get inside the heads of the left on this election, you need only read the words of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, given in a candid moment of post-election excitement he’d probably love to have back: “Now we take Georgia, then we change America!â€
Without 60 votes in the Senate, how would Schumer & Co. “change America,†exactly? After all, Republicans weren’t even able to nuke Obamacare while they had the trifecta for two years. We know the answer, of course. Chucky plans to nix the filibuster, a longstanding Senate tradition that ensures some degree of bipartisanship before laws are imposed on the American people, then promptly and freely pass every single solitary leftist wet dream from packing the courts to the Green New Deal.
