Desperate Measures

Never underestimate the loony left:

Leftists have floated this insurrection business before, and gotten nowhere. As Matt pointed out, Trump hasn’t been convicted of leading or supporting an insurrection. In fact, he hasn’t even been charged with doing so, and the Democrats certainly would have done so if they had thought they could get away with it. Many people don’t believe that what happened on Jan. 6, 2021 was an insurrection at all. Thus if Trump were really barred from taking office on those grounds, it would be a case of leftists going way out on a limb on the basis of a tangle of unsupported and highly partisan assertions. Would they dare to do that? Sure. After all, where would any possible pushback come from? The military, the Justice Department and the intelligence community have all been thoroughly corrupted and politicized. The establishment media would go into overdrive to hail the ringleaders of this scheme as heroes who saved democracy from the evil fascist. Could it happen? Sure. Is it likely? Absolutely not. It is heartening that America doesn’t appear so far gone that the left thinks it could get away with pulling off such a caper. Nevertheless, it would be wise to be wary, and watch events closely leading up to Jan. 20.

They'll try anything...
