 Democrats Are Using The Recent Capitol Riot To Consolidate Power

America’s Cold Civil War will only heat up as those with all the power take precisely the wrong lessons from the Capitol Hill riot.

By Ben Weingarten
January 13, 2021

The Capitol Hill riot was an inexcusable, pathetic, and disgraceful display. Its consequences will extend well beyond the bloodshed and property damage inflicted by those who shamefully acceded to the left’s view that force is legitimate means of persuasion — exhibited repeatedly via the left’s normalization of political incitement and violence throughout President Trump’s term in office.

The riot not only overshadowed the corruption that marked the 2020 election and undermined the MAGA movement’s people and principles, but set up Americans of all political stripes for an onslaught on their rights and cherished freedoms. The riot was an accelerant for what was already likely planned under Democrat rule in Washington: crushing dissenters from its leftist orthodoxy as part of an effort to achieve total power by disenfranchising the opposition.

President Trump has personified this dissent, but the effort to delegitimize, de-platform, and ultimately destroy him and anyone around him is merely the opening scene of the “Godfather”-like settling of scores with all who threaten the ruling class’s power and privilege. This effort will directly harm not just the thousands of peaceful patriots who had descended on Washington D.C., and their tens of millions of like-minded neighbors across the country, but all Americans.

They are letting every Republican know that if you raise concerns about Democrat voter fraud, they will destroy you. You’ll be banned from social media and therefore unable to advertise and reach your constituents with that. You will lose contributions from corporate PACs, you will booted from all sorts of things, for example AirBNB, etc.

This way they can continue the election fraud without fear of those pesky Republicans catching them.

As usual, all Republicans have to do to beat them is refuse to be intimidated.

But intimidated they are and will be. They learned nothing these past four years.

The gutless Republican Party cut it's own throat by refusing to stand behind or stand up for Trump and for a free, as-founded America and stand against the commie left.   It doesn't matter, at this point, 'what' they do or don't do.  JS...

There will be a new party to stand against the RL.

I don't know of there so be a new party, but I do know it will be many years, if ever, before a conservative coalition will have a majority. I'm not assigning blame, but the lasting result of the Trump years is a fractured base. Meanwhile it appears the Democrats have united  around socialism.

The base ain’t fractured. The schism is between the base and those who profit from the old system Trump threatened to undo.

Base probably wasn't the right word. What I mean is that we will likely have division between Republican establishment and Trump supporters lasting some years, and the net result of that will be we lose elections. On the up side, this is our chance to purge the Republican Party of establishment types without concerns about short-term election losses; we're going to lose them anyway, so now is the time to re-emphasize principles over pragmatic elect-ability concerns.

Yep, because although the rats increasingly promote socialism and worse, something will beat nothing every time.

You think it stops there.   Anyone who dares question the Harris/Biden administration on any issue will be treated the same way.  Any criticism will have the same warnings placed on them as those questioning the election.

At this point, what difference does it make,  now the only purpose of the Republican Party is to protect the Democrats' flank.

The way I see it now,  we've got two enemy parties, getting rid of the Republicans, reduces that number by half.

There is indeed a "consolidation of power" going on right now.

But it IS NOT by "democrats"...

In the hot Summer of 1854, Abolitionists had their first Convention "Under the Oaks" in Jackson MI.  (I actually lived in an apartment about 200 yards from the spot.)  Unhappy with the Whig's refusal to deal with slavery, and the myriad broken promises on all things great and small, they founded the Republican Party and elected its first President in 1860.

It can happen faster than you think.

Wow, didn't realize you were that old.

Feels that way, watching history repeat like that.

I agree.  They have sent me about 2 to 3 e-mails daily,  asking me for money for a week!  20?  I just erase  them.  I will also stop my monthly GOP payment to TRUMP CAMPAIGN.  It was for him, not spineless  RINOS.....same as demon-rats.
We had our chance.  Too many evil, corrupt people at the top.  EVEN Supreme Court!

Right. It's the 'swamp', the Deep State, whatever you want to call it. It's alive and agitated that anyone would even question its power.

As for the "riots" or "insurrection", meh. Not so much as an outhouse burned, and compared to the "mostly peaceful' protests by the Left, I think all that hyperbole only breeds more contempt for the liars of the MSM. Truth will prevail,
