Dakota Beacon

Democrats have no intention of losing the presidency in 2024.  They have a plan and it is well-orgnized.  It has many components:  courts, juries tilted toward conviction of Trump, managed polls and an over-arching game plan which will incorporate a large number of Republicans and populists, most especially the followers of Donald Trump.  And it will almost certainly succeed.

Now Trump has demonstrated once more that he is an ass.  He decided to try to control the U.S. Congress and all of its members once again by threatening one of them, Chip Roy, because he DARED to endorse Ron DeSantis.  Like the Wizard of Oz behind his curtain, Trump believes that he is all-powerful and, like the Munchkins of the Emerald City, his followers also think it’s true.  Chip Roy thinks he can endorse someone other than Trump?  Well, we'll show HIM.  And Trump decided to “primary” Roy.  In other words, he is so full of himself and his all-importance that he figures all he has to do to cancel one of our most valuable conservatives in Washington, is to pony up someone - anyone - to oppose Roy in a primary and bingo!  Roy loses his seat because  -  polls.  

Trump is so drunk on his polls that he swaggers about bashing anyone who doesn’t fall in line behind him.  Kim Reynolds came in for the buzz saw when she eventually threw in with DeSantis recognizing that the only way forward was to quit looking back and support someone with the experience, fortitude, determination, skill and evidence that he could and would return America to the republic we seem to have lost.  WEH-he-HEL.  First, Trump denounced her as “disloyal”, then as ineffective, America’s “worst governor”  (is that after DeSantis?) and then proclaimed that it didn’t matter - she was of no consequence after all.  Now he is trying to insinuate that she has endorsed HIM.  She is vehemently denying this and condemning it as misleading the people of Iowa.  Trump must not have all the confidence in the world in his polls after all.

Then there are those who "like" DeSantis but think it's "not his time" - it's Trump's "turn".  Is this really how we chose leaders in America?  By "taking turns"?  Think of it this way.  Your house is on fire but this isn't the local fire department's "turn".  Maybe they can weigh in on your fire next year.  DeSantis, like many of us, understands that as time goes through our fingers our situation is rapidly deteriorating.  We are losing ground.   It's not a matter of taking turns like sandlot baseball.  It is a matter of taking action when it will still do any good.  Right now is when we need to reverse course.  Not in 2028.  By then all might well be lost.

The Democrats have a plan, unlike the Republicans.  They always do.  And Republicans always don’t.  This is why the so-called “Overton Window” keeps surging to the left with every election.  This year’s plan is quite interesting.  Trump being under indictment in several places throughout the US, and seemingly lacking in any clear focus on current issues the rest of us are interested in, DeSantis - recognizing that America is teetering on the edge of extinction as we have known it - declared his candidacy.  Suddenly he went from a shining star to a hopeless “loser” in Trump’s view.  Surprise there.  Now we have the old stand-by, Nikki Haley to represent the true RINO faction and opposition to that RINO tradition from DeSantis and Trump.  As it continues to develop, the latter two are moving ever farther apart, with DeSantis supporters citing his credentials and his statements on policy and Trump’s followers simply screaming about “disloyalty” and the 2020 election and lawfare.  

None of this is to say that the 2020 election was legitimate.  It wasn’t.  Nor is the lawfare persecution of Trump (or his forgotten rally-goers of January 6) acceptable.  It is not.  As to the “disloyalty” charge, however, it would seem that anyone running for president should first and foremost be loyal to the Constitution of the United States and to the people, not to a personality.  What we have is Haley on the one side and these two warring factions on the other - the candidacies of Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy are, in reality, not consequential in the real world.  

So what is the Democrat plan?  First we need to start with Democrat perceptions.  They probably don’t care either way about Haley.  She would be malleable enough - her loyalties are not that different from theirs and she would not be leading any kind of charge against big government - quite the contrary.  Nikkii Haley IS big government.  But what of the other two?  We have 1) Donald Trump, a loud-mouth, gasbag whose preoccupation seems to be with who is “loyal” to his big huge persona, not so much principles of government or Constitution - he proved that with his abdication to Anthony Fauci on “covid” and his lack of any follow-through on threats to “drain the swamp”.  The swamp is as fetid as it ever was after Trump’s failure; and 2) Ron DeSantis.  Now DeSantis is a horse of another color.  He poses a real threat to their world.  He has vowed to shake up the FBI, Democrats’ favorite tool to wield power over any potential opposition leaders, he has taken a strong stand against allowing China to take over American culture, education and land, he has struck a blow against the rot of “transgenderism”, against unvetted in-migration.  He has stopped the use of digital currency in government operations, knowing full well that this insidious tactic would finally rob Americans of the last vestige of freedom.  The Democrats also know he has succeeded in all of these things and that he keeps the promises he makes to the voters.  They are terrified of a DeSantis presidency.

Now, of course, they don’t really want to see a Trump presidency resurrected either, but this doesn’t really worry them.  Their big worry is DeSantis.  Trump they can take care of in post production if not before.  So - how to get rid of DeSantis?  The only way they can see (especially after the way he creamed their prize pony, Gavin Newsom, is to get rid of him BEFORE the general election.  The how-to there is pretty direct and simple - just unleash Trump.  Trump is predictable, he is childish and he is crude.  His followers adore him mindlessly.  They will tolerate no opposition to Trump.  They vow to avenge the stolen election of 2020 through the reconstitution of Trump in 2024.  Trump is easily played like a fine fiddle by the left.  Why is Trump not in jail?  Because he is far more useful and valuable to Democrats being at large.  Democrats have made it clear to all of us that our constitutional rights provide no protection in 2023.  That’s what they demonstrated way back when they invaded Mar-a-Lago.  But like a dog with a control collar they let him roam.  Maybe you’ve noticed that Trump has only occasionally attacked Biden and that mostly on the basis of his senility, not so much on matters of state or government.  

The Democrats’ plan is as follows:

1. Use Trump to destroy DeSantis with the help of his foolish followers and polls which they control and disseminate profusely - fake polls which are intended to dispirit DeSantis supporters and keep them home on caucus and primary nights.

2. Once DeSantis is out of the way, move to get Trump removed from ballots in every key state (it’s already under way within some of the states).  This will ensure that there will be no possibility of a Trump victory in 2024, and they won’t even need Dominion this time.  

3. Crown the new Democrat candidate, whoever he is, as the 47th President of the United States and proceed to dismantle what is left of our republic.

There is only one factor which is probably causing them some sleepless nights  -  what to do about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  Kennedy has been running circles around all of the other candidates poll-wise, for what that’s worth.  He poses the biggest threat of all to a Democrat victory in 2024.  Although a Democrat by heritage and probably by most of his beliefs, RFK, Jr., is running as an Independent - which means he is serious.  Having been silenced and sidelined by the Democrat machine, he elected not to be this year’s Bernie Sanders, but to give voters a chance to at least hear his views.  And they are interesting.  He will be a difficult guy for a Democrat to beat once DeSantis is gone.  He is opposing the vaccine mandates while Trump persists in pushing his “vaccine”.  RFK is opposing open borders and he is believable on this because he acknowledged his error in earlier supporting this.  LIkewise he has revisited his positions on “climate change” and has come to the conclusion that he was wrong.  Unlike Trump, he has no problem frankly saying he has made mistakes and learned from them, and unlike some candidates, he does not just simply swing this way and that without explanation.  Trump and Ramaswamy have both done this rather than admit error.  

We can only hope that the violent tragedies of an earlier era will not return to eliminate anyone, but RFK has also acknowledged that this is a possibility.  How will Democrats deal with opposition from within their own ranks once that opposition becomes uncontrolled?  Bernie stayed with the fold - he endorsed Hillary after she stuck the shiv into his back.  Not so with RFK.  Perhaps his beliefs are more sincere.  Perhaps he just has more personal and political courage.  

It looks like this, to summarize:  Democrats use Trump to eliminate the greatest threat to their program, DeSantis, they then remove Trump when he is no longer useful, and once they figure out how to deal with RFK they will enthrone their new Democrat leader - and it will not be Biden.  In fact, Biden, like Trump, will no longer be seen as useful and he and his VP, Kamala Harris, will be ditched without the least show of remorse.  Biden will likely go into hospice and his family will likely go up the river.    And so the saga of the United States of America draws to a most melancholy close.  

I only pray that I am wrong.
