If a Democrat Wins the White House in 2020
By Steve Grammatico
Apocalypto, Mel Gibson’s epic movie depicting the Mayan culture’s end days, opens with a quotation from historian Will Durant on the fall of the Roman Empire: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within."
Durant’s observation resonates for us. Consider: a supposedly center-right country electing and reelecting Obama, a leftist demagogue masquerading as a centrist. Consider: the ongoing damage to our constitutional system by the Deep State. Is it so hard to imagine an unabashed socialist or any of his soulmates winning the White House in 2020 and the effects on our economy, culture, and politics? Worse yet, transforming the country becomes the new president’s priority, with national security somewhere down the list.
A President Bernie Sanders would terminate Trump’s defense buildup and resume the military drawdown Obama presided over. Expect reductions in active-duty personnel, cutbacks in spending for new ships and planes, and slowdowns in programs to develop advanced weapons systems. Also on the block: “unnecessary†bases here and abroad, and modernization of our aging nuclear weapons. Lost on the left and the know-nothings: a defanged America makes the world more dangerous, not less.
