The Democrats threat to democracy

 Matt Kane:

...

Despite President Trump taking many actions in his first term that made America safer and more prosperous, Democrats have relentlessly attempted to paint him as a tyrannical threat to democracy since he announced his 2024 bid for the White House. They cite issues such as “election denialism,” the January 6th “insurrection,” alleged “attacks on reproductive rights,” and his sarcastic comment about being a dictator for just one day as evidence that he is a dictator-in-waiting and a threat to democracy. However, keeping the definition of democracy in mind, these claims are categorically untrue.

What they refer to as “election denialism” is actually a manipulation of the accurate term, which is election integrity preservation. A president takes an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. When allegations of election fraud arise, as they did after the 2020 election, the president has an obligation to ensure nothing nefarious occurred and, if it did, to seek appropriate remedies. This alleged “election denialism” ties into January 6th, where they claim Trump “incited an insurrection.” The First Amendment enumerates s the right of Americans to peacefully protest. Trump’s calls for his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard” align perfectly with the Constitution and negate the insurrection label, which is defined as “a violent uprising against an authority or government.” As for reproductive rights, Trump’s appointment of conservative justices to the Supreme Court, who went on to overturn Roe v. Wade, sending the issue of abortion law back to state governments, is by definition an act of democracy. It grants states more power than the federal government, enabling each state to enact abortion laws that best represent the wishes of their people, rather than one broad law for the entire nation. These actions are clearly democracy-preserving. Regarding Trump’s comment about being a dictator for one day, it was a clear instance of trolling, playing into the fabricated concerns that he would be a dictator by emphasizing his determination to address two issues quickly. Anyone who saw the exchange, as the Democrats certainly did, could see this.

Ironically, many of the accusations Democrats have attributed to Trump apply far more to themselves. Take election denialism as the first example. Silencing and suppressing dissent or investigation in the wake of potential interference with America’s sacred elections is the most blatant attack on democracy there is. As a result, many peaceful protesters of the 2020 election who were in the crowd on January 6th have had their 8th Amendment rights, which protect Americans from cruel and unusual punishment, utterly violated, as many continue to rot in prisons to this day. In addition to his 'dictator for one day' comment, many claim that Trump will weaponize the powers of the presidency against his political opponents if he returns to the White House, citing this as further proof of their dictator claims. Yet his candidacy was immediately followed by indictments, which Democrats were undoubtedly involved with when looking at the movement of players involved from the DoJ to the New York attorney general’s office. The only one that has reached trial to this point resulted in a conviction, which Democrats used as a catapult to heighten their toxic Trump rhetoric. All this (among many other things we will hopefully find out some day) played some role in the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, which, if successful, would have eliminated the ability for the American people to vote for the leading candidate for the presidency. In other words, a true threat to democracy.

There is more.

It is clear to me that the "threat to democracy" allegation is total BS.  Democracy needs free and fair elections and it is not wrong to challenge whether that happened.
