“Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” is one of the more famous questions in American history. Elizabeth Powel asked this of Benjamin Franklin on September 17, 1787, the last day of the Constitutional Convention. He replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”
Franklin’s Warning: A Republic . . . If You Can Keep It, American Greatness
I am sad to say this, but the Democrat elites are not helping us “keep” our Republic, as Benjamin Franklin once admonished all Americans to do.
By that, I mean that the Democrat officials, “(t)hose who work in government—legislators, the president, judges, and officials” are NOT contributing “to a well-administered government.” They are, instead, fighting tooth and nail to defeat President Donald Trump and the GOP Congressional majorities in every way possible, with every tool at their disposal, whether by using legitimate actions (which are fine) or bad-faith legal actions or blatantly illegal ones.
Let us count the ways, shall we?
- Democrat lawmakers with a military or intelligence background have urged U.S. military and intelligence personnel to defy the Trump administration’s authority in a “Not-at-All Subtle” Video. In this video:
They do not spell out which orders they are referencing, but make mention of those which are “pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.” Not subtle by any measure. They are calling for service members sent to enforce immigration laws and clean up crime in blue cities to defy their orders. They are likely also referencing orders to incinerate narco-terrorists and their drug-running boats, defensive maneuvers to protect Americans as ordered by the President and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
After the video was released and prompted blowback from President Trump and others, the Democrats involved then pretended that they were in fear for their lives and contacted the Capitol police to claim that Donald Trump had seriously threatened them.
- Two Democrat presidents spied on Republican Donald Trump, Republican Senators, the Republican House Speaker, and other Republican House members, as well as other non-Democrat/left-wing targets over the years.
- While simultaneously inciting their left-wing Democrat base to violence over ICE crackdowns on illegal aliens, Democrat government officials are also passing laws to block or interfere with the Trump administration’s actions to deport these illegals.
- Judges in the case against former FBI Director James Comey, who is worse than a RINO, have been attempting to throw roadblocks in front of the prosecution to prevent him from serving justice for his sleazy and allegedly illegal actions.
- In the U.S. Senate, the Democrat senators instigated a pointless government shutdown for a record 43 days simply to cater to their demented left-wing TDS-stricken base of voters, and to protect the polling numbers of their leader, Chuck Schumer.
- Democrat and RINO judges, also crazed with TDS, are issuing injunction after injunction – and other rogue actions – to stop anything the GOP-led federal government or other GOP-controlled governments are attempting to accomplish. Judge Boasberg alone has been a one-man army. A judge in Texas also issued a “doozy” of a dissent for the judicial decision that, at the behest of the left-wing Soros family, sought to shut down the GOP re-redistricting in Texas because it was partisan. (In other news, water is wet!) Which does not make it either unconstitutional or illegal.
- House Democrats are preparing another Trump impeachment – after two during the last Trump term – for reasons to be determined later. The Democrats have single-handedly turned the impeachment power into a partisan joke.

These Democrat elite actions are incredibly dangerous, as they undermine bipartisan (and non-partisan) support and respect among the American populace for the U.S. government and its institutions. They also pit American against American, in a series of vicious political battles that dramatically dial up the hatred between the parties.
And these governmental actions are coupled with the constant incitement that the Democrat elites have exposed their left-wing base to, which I have decried often.
It is hard to believe that the Democrat elites are not doing all this with an intention to overwhelm the American political system, in a manner like what was proposed by leftists, including Saul Alinsky, Richard Cloward, and Frances Fox Piven. They should stop doing this, now.
But we all know they won’t.
