Democrats pushing banana republic tactics in US

Melanie Phillips:
I wrote here that the American Democratic party had become the party of hate. Subsequent events have not only amply confirmed that view but further suggest that the Democrats now pose a real threat to America, in terms of both physical violence and a threat to due process and the US constitution.

Two days after the Senate confirmed Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell told a press conference that GOP senators were “literally under assault” during the confirmation process.

“These demonstrators, I’m sure some of them were well-meaning citizens. But many of them were obviously trying to get in our faces, to go to our homes. Basically almost attack us in the halls of the capitol. There was a full-scale effort to intimidate.”

Senator Rand Paul reportedly suffered severe injuries and was hospitalised after being attacked by a Democrat while mowing his own lawn. His wife wrote to Democrat senator Cory Booker demanding that he take back his comment encouraging activists to “get up in the face of some Congresspeople”.
“Preventing someone from moving forward, thrusting your middle finger in their face, screaming vitriol — is this the way to express concern or enact change?” she wrote. “Or does it only incite unstable people to violence, making them feel that assaulting a person is somehow politically justifiable?”

“I would call on you to retract your statement,” Paul said in the letter. “I would call on you to condemn violence, the leaking of elected officials’ personal addresses (our address was leaked from a Senate directory given only to senators), and the intimidation and threats that are being hurled at them and their families.”

She and her family, she said, had “experienced violence and threats of violence at a horrifying level” over the past 18 months.“I now keep a loaded gun by my bed. Our security systems have had to be expanded. I have never felt this way in my life.”
It should be noted that this uproar appears to be driven, at least in part, by a network funded by the billionaire financier George Soros. In the Wall Street Journal, Asra Q Nomani reported on the spreadsheet she had assembled from “following the money” behind the anti-Trump so-called“resistance”:
...

Nor was Kavanaugh’s confirmation the end of that particular matter. Not content with having undermined America’s judicial appointments procedure by a vicious onslaught on due process and the presumption of innocence, the Democrats have now started to attack the US constitution itself. Because it has not delivered the political result they want, it is now in their sights as apparently not fit for purpose.

Having failed in her disgraceful attempt to destroy Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court candidacy, reputation and professional life through an appalling smear campaign, Senator Dianne Feinstein has now decided that the Supreme Court itself is illegitimate.
...
There is much including attacks on the Constitution with attempts to eliminate the Electoral College and change the Senate to give more power to states with larger populations.  Of course, they had no gripe about the Senate when the low population states were electing Democrats.  It looks like if they can't win within the rules, they have decided they should change the rules. 

Their real problem is their policies which did not work for everyone and now that Trump policies are creating more jobs and a stronger America they see changing the rules as their best chance of regaining power..

Since Trump's election liberals have shot one Republican congressman almost killing him, attacked Rand Paul causing him to be hospitalized, stage violent demonstrations attacking conservatives and free speech and for some reason think yelling in the face of Senators is a persuasive form of argument.
