Dems' 'threat to democracy' canard not working

 Joe Cunningham:

Voters Seem to Think Real Threat to Democracy Isn’t Donald Trump. Here's Why They Blame Democrats.

In the wake of the 2024 election, Democrats are once again crying about a supposed “threat to democracy” now that Donald Trump is headed back to the White House. The meltdowns on the left (and from some extremely anti-Trump right) have been nothing short of unhinged. But here’s the irony: while they’re busy wringing their hands about Trump, they’ve ignored the ways their own party has undermined the core values that make a democracy function.

And no, I’m not talking about “stolen elections” or any 2020 theories. I've never really bought into the idea that it was stolen, though that's not me saying it didn't and doesn't still exist. Rather, I’m talking about the left’s relentless push to silence dissent, weaponize government institutions, and control the public conversation.

If Democrats are wondering why so many Americans feel democracy is “threatened” and still chose to vote for Trump, they might want to take a hard look in the mirror.

Interestingly, the exit polling data shows that, of people who felt that democracy was threatened supported Trump. Even the Washington Post's Philip Bump admits as much....
...

I never got the impression that Trump would try to extend his second term beyond the four years he was elected to.  It just never made any sense to me.  I suspect that Democrats used that ruse mainly to motivate their own voters and not as a way of reaching out to those in the middle,

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
