I didn't declare war on the Democrat party, they declared war on me...and you.

[I didn't write the piece below, but adapted it from a piece from Frank Miele.]

I didn’t declare war on Democrats.  They declared war on me.

They declared war on me when they supported energy policies that would crush oil and gas production in our nation, making energy far more costly while enriching Saudi Arabia and Russia.  Then they'll blame higher gas prices and doubled electric bills on...Trump.

They declared war on me when they supported huge, corrupt social media companies that routinely cancel conservative users, and censor sound ideas by removing those posts from their servers.  Example: Fakebook claimed HCQ was dangerous (it's been used by hundreds of millions of people for 70 years) and would not help people infected with the Chinese virus.

They declared war on me when they supported using the infinite powers of the FBI and CIA to first spy on a presidential candidate and then to undermine the administration of that candidate after he was elected.

They declared war on me when they supported forcing K-12 schools, colleges and sports associations to let biological males compete against girls.

They declared war on me when the Democrat leaders invited unlimited numbers of illegal aliens into the U.S and offered them citizenship and free medical care (paid for by taxpayers; nothing's "free").

They declared war on me when they screamed that a wall on the Mexican border was useless, and then blocked further construction after they stole the election, and simultaneously built a wall--topped with razor-wire--around our nation's capitol building.

Democrats declared war on me when they supported defunding the police, knowing that millions of Americans would be left defenseless against mobs of antifa and Black Lives Matter.

Democrats declared war on me when they screamed that America was never great.

Democrats declared war on me when their ghastly, evil Speaker of the House sneeringly ripped up our president's last State of the Union speech, on camera, in front of the entire world.

Democrats declared war on me when they screamed that wanting the courts to at least investigate obvious, massive election fraud was sedition.

Democrats declared war on me when they decided that forcing leftist orthodoxy on this once-great nation was more important than honoring the Constitution.

If all this reminds you of China’s Cultural Revolution, you are not wrong. The ruling class wants you to shut up and obey them. If you step outside the lines, be prepared to be thrown in jail.

Think that's just a scare story?  Last Wednesday FBI agents--acting on the orders of the U.S. attorney for Eastern New York--arrested Douglass Mackey of Florida for...wait for it... creating memes that allegedly misled voters in 2016 to think they could vote by sending a text instead of by actually going to the polls.  Neither the FBI nor the corrupt U.S. attorney offered any evidence that these memes actually convinced anyone not to vote.

But even if his spoof did, so what? Would you rather live in a country where the FBI is hunting down pranksters — four years after the supposed transgression — or a country where voters are expected to be able to recognize a joke when they see one?

But nothing can be taken for granted any more. The people — and even their representatives and senators — are considered enemies of the state because they hold opinions that don’t meet the standards of Joe Biden or Jake Tapper or Brian Stelter.
