This is an editorial opinion from Danielle Pletka, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. For those who are not familiar with the American Enterprise Institute, it is a conservative think tank.
That she believes that trump is far better than what she says is the "leftward lurch of the Democratic party, really shows how deranged these right wing "intellectuals" are.
Here is an excerpt from her "opinion":
"In 2016, I never considered voting for Donald Trump. The Johnny-come-lately Republican and his nasty schoolyard jibes seemed to me the worst degradation of American politics. But in 2020, I may be forced to vote for the man.
Hear me out.
I dont need a bumper sticker or a lawn sign to convey my distaste for Trump his odious tweets, his chronic mendacity and general crudeness. Over the past four years, like an oil slick that besmirches all it touches, Trump himself has managed to obscure his administrations more-substantive accomplishments, such as focusing the worlds attention on Chinas threat to global security and brokering a new era of Middle East peace.
I fear Trumps erratic, personality-driven decision-making. His contempt for NATO is alarming, as is his delusion that he can manage rogue leaders. I dont doubt that his eagerness to withdraw U.S. troops from their stability missions in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq will encourage conflict and terrorism. And I fret that his bizarrely isolationist attitude toward international trade will hurt the U.S. economy and splinter the global trading juggernaut that over the past half-century has brought the world amazing prosperity, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty.
But I fear the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party even more.
What is there to be afraid of? I fear that former vice president Joe Biden would be a figurehead president, incapable of focus or leadership, who would run a teleprompter presidency with the words drafted by his partys hard-left ideologues. I fear that a Congress with Democrats controlling both houses almost certainly ensured by a Biden victory in November would begin an assault on the institutions of government that preserve the nations small d democracy. That could include the abolition of the filibuster, creating an executive-legislative monolith of unlimited political power; an increase in the number of Supreme Court seats to ensure a liberal supermajority; passage of devastating economic measures such as the Green New Deal; nationalized health care; the dismantling of U.S. borders and the introduction of socialist-inspired measures that will wreck an economy still recovering from the pandemic shutdown."
This is what we are up against.
Her argument is like the psychotic killer, whose logic is "it isn't my fault, they are making me do it"
Her quote:
a Democratic victory "......would begin an assault on the institutions of government that preserve the nation's small "d" democracy."
WTF!!!!!!!
THOSE INSTITUTIONS OF GOVERNMENT THAT SHE IS SO WORRIED ABOUT, ARE BEING DESTROYED BY TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS" !!!!!!!!
