If President Trump needed a reason to keep fighting, he has it.
Democrats plan to continue investigating the president even if Joe Biden ultimately wins and Trump leaves the White House, according to a report from Business Insider.
As the outlet notes, “Lawmakers armed with subpoena power could also turn up information that federal prosecutors might not know about as the Justice Department under Joe Biden weighs whether to pursue a criminal case against Trump, who as a former president will no longer have immunity from such matters.”
Additionally, “Democrats may also get a helping hand in their efforts once Biden gets sworn in and installs new leadership atop the federal government. At that point, agencies like the IRS and Treasury that have often ignored record requests from House lawmakers over the past four years could start sending them reams of long sought-after documents.”
For years now, Democrats have relentlessly investigated President Trump, his administration, his family, and his business dealings in an effort to remove him from office and destroy his reputation.
The same people who repeatedly said it was inappropriate for the president to probe a political rival (Joe Biden, over his family connections to Ukraine) are now salivating at the thought of having total control of the executive branch with which to go after President Trump. They can’t wait to see the president reduced to an ordinary citizen, without the powers that currently allow him to fight off their efforts.
And it isn’t only the president himself whom the Left would seek to ruin if given the chance. They are already making it clear that they want to go after the president’s supporters.
Just this week, CNN host Jake Tapper called for Trump supporters to concede or be blacklisted.
“I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy,” he tweeted Monday, adding that “at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.”
In other words: “Concede or we will smear you at your place of work to get you fired.”
Other popular left-wing voices are calling for “lists” of Trump supporters to be made for similar purposes. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) asked on Twitter: “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?”
Then there’s Jennifer Rubin, the neocon columnist who went full liberal and joined the Washington Post after Donald Trump entered American politics. According to Rubin, those who support the president should never be allowed to hold public office, serve on corporate boards, or participate in other avenues of society.
In a since-deleted tweet, a twitter user who calls himself an “Antifa Leader” claimed that he will be launching a new website that will allow users to see a map with all of their neighbors who donated to Republicans, with the aim of leftists “aggressively” confronting them and ensuring they have “no safety.”
Actress Janelle Mona tweeted (also in a since-deleted post) “f**k every American citizen” who voted for President Trump, saying they should all “burn.”
President Trump likely understands the stakes, which is why, contrary to the Republican establishment that would like him to call it a day (despite the indications of massive voter fraud), he has refused to concede and is seeking to uncover the foul play.
It is no longer simply a matter of politics. It is a matter of survival. Survival for President Trump: With Joe Biden controlling the DOJ and the FBI, it will only be a matter of time before they roll out “evidence” to put Trump and some of his family members in prison, as a lesson for all who dare challenge The Powers That Be.
And survival for Americans: A Biden administration would likewise weaponize every aspect of government to target Trump supporters and conservatives as guilty of “hate crimes,” while turning a blind eye to violence perpetrated by the likes of Antifa (who, for Joe Biden, are nothing more than an idea, not an organization). Patriots would find themselves imprisoned, jobless, ostracized, censored, and victimized.
The voices calling for a “comeback in 2022/24,” well-meaning though some of them may be, miss the mark. If we fail now at this crucial juncture, there may not be an opportunity to ever come back within the political system.
