... Imagine you are a mini-Rip Van Winkle. You sink into a deep slumber on November 4 and do not awaken until, say, December 2026... 

You will now be utterly subservient to a tiny, home-breed oligarchy...

First, you will discover that there are no longer any any swing states in America. As Elon Musk observed, the Democrats will declare illegal migrants legal voters by fiat, thus transforming America into a one-party state. What Gavin Newsom just did in California, banning local checks on voter ID, will be nationalized. No voter ID, no meaningful elections...

And speaking of Elon Musk, X will be regulated into oblivion... Remember, John Kerry, speaking recently from the World Economic Forum, said that the First Amendment was the great “block” in the battle against “disinformation.” If the Democrats win, he said, they can “change,” that is, gut, the First Amendment...

... if Harris-Walz should win we can also say sayonara to the filibuster. To understand why that procedural change is a big deal, step back and consider what its disappearance would license. In one interview, Harris explained, “I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.”

Former Democrat Joe Manchin refused to endorse Harris in part because of her opposition to the filibuster. “She knows the filibuster is the holy grail of democracy,” the West Virginia Senator said. “It’s the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.”...

A nationwide electric car mandate has been promulgated... But because Harris has also instituted a ban on fracking and coal, there is not enough power to charge all the cars and trucks...

Your neighborhood used to be a quiet middle-class backwater. Now it is home to several Section 8 housing projects. Parents no longer let their children out to play unsupervised...

What if Kamala Harris wins in 2024? Her victory will also be the victory of what people used to call “the administrative state,” “the deep state.”...

The codicil to the question “What if Kamala Harris wins?” is “What should the Right’s response to such a scenario be?” In two words: prevent it...

 

Liberty once lost is lost forever.
