Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Clausma felt that she was on the precipice of success in her quest to make the perfect elderberry/turmeric unisex body wash.
To say that the political climate in the United States of America is ugly in 2023 would be an overindulgence in understatement. There are some cranky people over here on the Right, but we’ve got some justification. It’s the people on the Left who are the chief purveyors of ugliness, both in the national discourse and when they’re feeling particularly aggrieved the streets.
They’ve been somewhere on the other side of unhinged ever since Donald Trump saved America by deposing their Ice Queen, Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump has, of course, been the focus of their wrath ever since. The Democrats have taken a “throw everything at him until something sticks” approach to trying to ruin Trump. They’re closer than they’ve ever been, thanks to their casual disregard for the truth and — in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case — willingness to torture the law just to “get” Trump.
Dems haven’t been shy about their goal — they want to keep Trump off of the ballot next year, preferably by getting him locked up in prison. The Democratic elites probably didn’t want to be so open about their intentions at first, but their Trump rage so consumes them that everything bubbles up to the surface.
Trump has some thoughts about that, and the Democrats might want to pay attention. Matt wrote about it:
Trump also issued a warning to Democrats about their efforts to imprison him and what the consequences would be. He expressed concern that such a move could prove highly dangerous for the Democratic Party.
“I think it’s a very dangerous thing to even talk about,” Trump said, “because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters […] much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than in 2016. I think it would be very dangerous.”
“They’re trying to cheat on an election by doing this,” Trump added. “It’s election interference.”
I haven’t checked, but I’m sure that more than one lefty “news” outlet will pick up on the “dangerous” line and point to it as evidence that we’re one big powder keg over here.
Trump is right though. Not only are the hardcore “Escalator MAGA” supporters passionate, but there are a lot of people who had grown ambivalent about him and are outraged by the Democrats’ relentless election interference witch hunts. At this point, they may even be minting brand-new Trump supporters.
And yes, it would set a dangerous precedent if the Left succeeds in keeping Trump off of the ballot via excessive legal harassment. The Democrats are working overtime to destroy the United States as we know it, and getting Trump locked up so that they could avoid having to face him in an election would accelerate that destruction.
What the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have done to Trump since late 2016 is unconscionable, especially anything related to the January 6 “insurrection” sham. I have no doubt that they would love to push ardent Trump supporters to the breaking point, then point a finger and say, “See! I told you!” if somebody does snap.
The Dems will certainly keep looking for new ways to make this election cycle seem even longer and more unpleasant. They’re miserable people, and they want everyone else to be miserable too.
